Wool and Honey — Local services in Solon Township

Update: The store replied to my review. Yes, they did send me the $5 pattern, but they still advertise the "kit" for $53.99 on their web site (see picture). For $53.99 you will get 2 skeins of yarn with $23.99 price tags attached!!

I contacted the company and was told they no longer send patterns. I don't know how you can call it a kit without including a pattern, but they do. They sent me a link where I could buy the pattern online for $5. So for my $53.99, I got two skeins of yarn that had a price tag of $23.99 each. That's all I got. Had I ordered the 2 skeins of yarn alone it would have been $47.98. A blatant rip-off. ...

Even long after COVID, they still had hand sanitizer at the door and signs insisting on masks, like customers were all diseased. At the counter, there were stickers pushing the owner’s political views, and the elderly woman behind the register acted like our cash was contaminated. Honestly, I wish I’d used a touchless card just to ease her anxiety. The whole experience made my friends and me feel unwelcome.

I’d skip it— the atmosphere was...
