They have a nice selection of yarn, but they also sell other made items in the shop, from clothing, wooden items and ceramic, leather items. You can find some neat and unique products in this shop. Take some time and look around or you'll miss some of the unique handmade items.

Phenomenal product. This yarn is high quality and absolutely worth your money. Good yarn is a must…read moreif you want a high-quality fabric. They work with local sheep farmers and process/dye their own yarns as well. The colors are vivid and the various yarns have a great weight/substance to them. If you're a knitter/crocheter/fiber artist, do stop in! Since I am not a local, I will be buying more online in the future!

My Mom, bestie & I stopped in here when we headed up to Embden, ME. My Mom has been in here before…read more(many times) & had told me this location is one of the bigger ones. My bestie had never been to a Marden's before. This location is bigger than other locations that I've been in but I feel what makes it bigger is their furniture section which is HUGE. They also have a pretty big crafting material section too. I did see some brand name shoes in the shoe section. I picked up this super cute black with white striped backpack that I used as my carry on bag for my plane ride back home which after using it I was in more awh with it. Great price too! I saw a bunny in a shopping cart that was friendly & two doggies with their owner....must of been bring your pet to Marden's day?? lol Bathrooms were clean as they have some out front & in the back. I was surprised that they really didn't have a big beauty product section for shampoo's, conditioner's, body wash, etc. I did find a cat treat toy that I had found at a different location when I was home visiting in April that I told my bestie she had to buy for her cats & I got one for my co-worker. My bestie found a pair of VANS that she purchased for a great price & loves. I wasn't super impressed with this location. It also seemed that someone may have been caught stealing because when we were leaving their were undercover security & police causing a commotion. Marden's are ALWAYS WORTH stopping in!!

Growing up hearing the commercial jingle, "I should have bought it...... when I saw it..... at…read moreMardens" - It's a Maine thing and that jingle holds true. If you see a deal that you really want....don't hesitate, buy it, because it WILL be gone within a week or so. This location is VERY easy to find. A repurposed Kmart building, I believe... It's right off the highway, in fact you can see it from the off ramp to the right. There is plenty of parking even when it's crowded. I have never been to this location around the holiday, but I have driven by, and it is always packed! This locally owned retail chain, sells overstock, liquidation and salvage items. We have seen things from Amazon as well. It's usually so random, although they have seasonally appropriate items as well. When we have the time and energy, we like going through the clearance aisles...yes, they have clearance aisles in a discount store. The clearance aisles are only organized by the percentage off and so it's chaotic. Bring patience and a sharp eye for deals. We have gotten electronic peripherals and accessories. We also bought some great yard deals. While we didn't buy them, they had Robotic Lawn mowers with batteries for sale. This store is quite large and have things like furniture, appliances....so much stuff. If you are a patient bargain hunter, that doesn't mind being around people, you may like this store. Worth at least one visit.

This is an AMAZING shop. There is so much here - every time I go in, I find different and more…read morethings! Someone rated it as pricey, but there's actually a huge variety of items here at many prices - many that are less expensive than you'll find elsewhere (seriously, $20 for a handmade wreath?!), and many items that are under $10. Everything is locally made, which i awesome for supporting local artisans, the community, and events. And Tricia - what a SUPER AWESOME person. If there's anything you need, she'll know how to get it. She gets things done. Even when it's something that isn't in the store (like knowing somehow EXACTLY what we needed for dinner and where to get it, she told us what we wanted, and when we agreed or made revisions, she called and told them what to give us). Plus, she's wicked funny. I feel like she's my own personal soul mate, but I think I'm probably not the only one who feels like she's a kindred spirit! Aside from this shop being wicked cool on an everyday basis, they went above and beyond to support the local event, the Millinocket Marathon & Half. They had medals locally made. Made tee shirts for the event. Had artisans make painted on slate ornaments commemorating it. Stood in the road to cheer runners in (and ran some in), stopped traffic so runners could proceed. They hosted packet pickup, were open crazy early to crazy late. Acted as designated drivers for the dance party Saturday night. But getting back to Moose Drop In - they were well over their usual for a given day... wall to wall people buying, needing, asking questions, wanting tee shirts made, asking directions, you name it. They never missed a step. Made everyone happy. Can't wait to come back!

I was told of some classes and wanted more information but they were to busy talking to ask. Another customer was standing there and she spoke to me of this place and stated that the courses were very pricey and they do not supply anything for the high price. She stated she did a knit class and was only taught the basics in which she already knew.
