They do have a great selection of natural fiber yarns, leaning heavily toward traditional wools. Thankfully, I can navigate yarn stores without too many questions because the single person behind the register was busy chatting with a regular like it was Knitting Group night. If you're a new knitter or need lots of guidance, be patient.

Great items in abundance, something for everyone, and set in a spacious setting without feeling like you're jammed into a store. The highlight for me was meeting John and Wayne, a pair of artisans who were kind and were there displaying their own items. They had such great pride in their respective works, and were just good people to chat with!

Things to know: * Parking is around the back. * The store is next door to an event center so parking may be tricky during festivals and such. * The structure dates back to the late 1890s and retains many great features (timbers, pulleys, gears, etc).

I have to say I am surprised with the high rating of this store because this was definitely not the…read moreexperience I had. I was in the shop on Thursday July 29, 2021. I spent I believe close to $150 so I didn't just browse. While my purchase was being totaled there was a younger woman with long brownish hair badmouthing a customer who had called in to request information. I was appalled. Customers like this individual and myself keep your business in business!!! An employee, owner or manager should NEVER be badmouthing a customer in front of other customers!!! I have waited three weeks to post anything because I just don't like posting negative feedback but, I still have a really bad taste from my experience there. The entire time I was there this person was rude to the employees there and it was very offensive. I visit the Amana every so often and I always shop there however I have to say this visit will definitely be my last. I don't know if this woman was the manager or the owner but, she was definitely out-of-line in her behavior. I have worked in the retail business for several years and never ever would I have acted in such a manner. Yes, the shop was nice but, the behavior was terrible!!! Bad on you!!!

And the inside is so bright with eclectic merchandise tastefully organized -- showcasing shirts, dresses, rompers, pants, jeans, skirts, shoes, purses and accessories... you name it! I feel you can you shop for any woman here, young or old. For instance, our last shopping trip-- both me and my mom (30 years different) found something we liked! That doesn't happen at most stores. You also can find something for any occasion, casual or formal. The brands they feature are trendy and while I feel like the price is a bit higher than I'd want to pay-- they do have sales! I have always been greeted with a smile by their staff. And can't say I have any poor experiences. Parking could be tricky, especially with school in session. I recommend walking a few blocks and parking in the Tower Parking Ramp. (First hour free!)
