Based on the recommendation of someone we met while listening to jazz one night, we decided to…read moreventure to Planet Bead. It really is an amazing to see such a variety of beads! Wow! The store is super full though and has excess junk in the back that is visible. Great customer service. Keith really knows his beads and can make whatever you request. We ultimately purchased four bracelets and some earrings that ended up costing $150. I'd say that was pretty pricey honestly. I mean the beads were nice, but not like some expensive/rare stones. I understand part of the charge is labor, but not sure I'd say it's worth that price. Not to mention, one of the bracelets broke after only wearing it once so we need to return to have it repaired-which is inconvenient since we live in Chicago. So...good place to visit...proceed with caution in terms of your purchase.

Sociologically speaking, knitting people are a subculture, one that places a high value on sharing, being supportive, helpful, patient, and respectful, especially to new knitters. The workers are especially attentive to customers who want to repair or replicate something a grandmother knit. Pretty divergent from contemporary mainstream American society. I just wish they served espresso.

I would say if you have a specific project or want to purchase a gift to stop in, and they will help you with the selections; however, I just stopped in and looked around and this is what I selected. I really love the colors! The items were around $60 so you can judge for yourself. I am unsure if there are Wisconsinites who make yarn varieties but I think a wall of local yarn would be a great addition to the store.
