Two years later and still loving this small business! They have remained closed to store traffic during the pandemic so far but still have everything online for shipping and pickup. I've used both shipping- so fast, and pickup, which was very convenient and safe. And just because the doors aren't open doesn't mean they aren't still full of beautiful crafts supplies in various price ranges, an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere online, and a helpful staff for curious crafters. read more

We've stopped by twice to buy some fabric for a chair and found the selection to be reasonable and not too overwhelming. From when they opened to now, they seem to by busier and also offer sewing classes. Nice to see an independent store like this do well. We'll be back again if we need fabric or sewing supplies. read more

I can never shop in peace in this store. I am always watched and followed, and it's not hard to see that other folks are not watched as hard as I am. Maybe it's just certain employees. But it doesn't matter. Freeman's creative has cultivated an environment in which SOME customers get to shop in peace, while others are scrutinized and followed. Surely you catch my drift. My dollar is just as green as anyone else's, but apparently that doesn't matter here. Would not recommend to anyone who cares about equality. read more

Very helpful staff! I'm new to crochet and had a lovely experience in here. They carry lots of locally dyed yarn which I thought was super cool! read more

My favorite yarn and fabric store in Durham! Right next to the Scrap Exchange. One stop shopping for all your needs. Amelia is so nice and knowledgeable. They offer a great variety of classes and workshops on so many things. I'm learning so much. Craft Club is so fun and so many lovely people hang out and craft together. Durham is so lucky to have this place. read more

So happy to have found this shop. Surprised to find wonderful yarns, independent designer sewing designers , fabric and the knitting needles I usually have to mail order and more.

Unique location and selection of items. Well chosen and lots of interesting tools not usually available in other larger craft suppliers. Will visit again when in the area read more

Excellent shop! High quality fabrics that you can't find in stores around here since Thimble Pleasures closed. Really great print selection and independent designer paper patterns. There's a small but excellent selection of yarn, real wool felt, and a small (but growing) selection of craft supplies. There was a lively fabric dyeing class going on and they also offer sewing classes. The owner is SUPER nice and knowledgeable. I'm very psyched to have this kind of resource in Durham. read more

This shop is a gem. Fabric to support quilting and garments, indie pattern designers, and great notions. Plus, a lovely range of yarn and the best notions selection. read more

This is a nice craft store with friendly people, lots of yarn, fabric & tools for the textile maker. It is definitely worth a visit.

What a wonderful little shop! I went in in search of fabric to make a bunting garland, and ended up spending over half an hour geeking out on patterns with one of the employees, who had a fabulous eye. The price per yard was competitive with fat quarters I had been looking at online, but with a much more fun and personal and less overwhelming experience. Highly recommend! read more

Freeman's Creative is the craft shop of your dreams. Luxury and every day yarn, tons of gorgeous fabric, embroidery and cross stitch supplies and kits, pens, paper, lotsa other stuff. And their classes are phenomenal. I need another hobby like I need another hole in my head, but every time I visit, I seem to pick up another read more

This is my go-to spot for sewing and knitting supplies. Everything is really high quality and beautiful to look at. The fabric selection alone is gorgeous. I also love that they keep a range of clothing patterns, including plus sizes. I wish I had time to make all the things I imagine whenever I stop in here. The shop also has a lot of crafting kits and locally made crafts (Hello, pizza flags!) for gifting. I'm interested in taking one of the classes, which look really great. read more

What a gem! The fabric selection is really unique and curated. Nothing like the miles of 70's-upholstery-print stocked at Joanne's (I dunno, maybe there's a diamond in the drek there). I can't speak to prices because I haven't bought large swaths of fabric, but you can buy teeny amounts of fabric and I think I bought 1/3 yard of elastic. Lots of yarns and stuff and there's certainly room for more inventory, but somehow the way it's presented is much less overwhelming. Will absolutely return. read more

You will find things in this fiber arts and sewing store that you can't find anywhere else in Durham. I live in the neighborhood and stopped in just to browse and bought sashiko needles and thread. I was blown away to find them. Amelia always greets me with a smile and is kind and helpful. There's hand dyed yarn, cool fabrics and a selection of tools. Lots of classes and a weekly drop in crafts club. Even yoga. read more
