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.

This is a fiber artisian's version of Paradise!!…read more They have an incredible array of fabrics, patterns, idea books, notions...everything you could possibly desire. My biggest kudos are for two things: 1) the lighting in this store is magnificent. So many times when shopping for fabric in other stores, I struggle to see the true color, the pattern, etc. That is not the case here. 2) the staff is very knowledgable and it is obvious they LOVE what they do. I hate going into a big box store that sells fabric and it is obvious the sales staff doesn't know a bobbin from a tension knob. Do yourself a favor and visit Stitch'n Sew Cottage. You will happily add more goodies to your fabric stash!

From the owner: Our shop is a family business. Joan taught daughter Julia to stitch when she was little. When Julia…read morewent off to college, she joined the Embroider's Guild of America and expanded her stitching knowledge. When Julia moved back to her home town, she shared her knowledge and convinced Joan to join as well. Cindy is a newer addition to the family, as daughter/sister-in-law and was introduced to the Guild. Julia's daughter, Miranda joined the family business after she finished college adding a third generation to the business. No, the family involvement doesn't stop there. Joan's husband Steve joined the staff after he retired. Her grandsons, Shawn and Tyler also assist during their summer and holiday school breaks. Joan's son, Anthony, provides some assistance with the "behind-the-scene" work. It is truly a family business.

Barnyard is a small shop (Run by Gary Port and his wife Dixie) which produces great results with…read moreshort turnaround times and best of all, great prices for short runs (10-25 shirts). I own dozens of shirts made there, most for my fraternity at Cornell College but the student government and many other student organizations (as well as the college itself) use Barnyard for their screen printing needs. Barnyard doesn't charge large setup fees and is really willing to help fix any problems that come up. When my fraternity sent a shirt to them to be made, and we messed up the colors we wanted printed on it, Gary made replacements in the right color in just two days even though it wasn't his fault! If you're in the area or even as far away as Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, I can tell you that you'll not find better prices or better service anywhere, and their remainder shirts (the ones they test print on that have dozens of random images and logos on them) are really cheap and always eye catching! Add to all this their large collection of Hog themed shirts and apparel (you did know that Iowa is the US hog production capital, didn't you?) and Barnyard could easily become your one-stop-shop for happiness.

We have used Barnyard for the past 4 years, and have had great results! You will not be able to…read morefind anything cheaper for this quality, and the wonderful customer service. We had used another, more local screen print, but we get the best results and CUSTOMER SERVICE from Barnyard, and it is worth the drive for us! We always get compliments on our tees, and will keep spreading the word about Barnyard, and we will never have to look for another screen printer again! Thanks for the great work, and service!
