I loved visiting this store in Freeport! There are 5 different Abacus locations and this one is…read moreprobably my favorite. It's a wonderful store to find unique gifts and home decor at a reasonable price. The employees at this location are very kind and helpful. They knew a lot about the items in the store and anything they were unsure of they found more information for me. The building itself is beautifully designed and a staple of Freeport history. My only concern was that my older mother had a difficult time getting up the large concrete stairs because there's no handicap-friendly entrance. However, our experience inside Abacus was wonderful. We will be back closer to Christmas time to stock up for Christmas!

I came here at the recommendation of the good folks at Handiwork in Deering Center. I had gone to a…read morefew places in search of some felting help and Handiwork suggested Portfiber. I immediately booked it over as I needed a very specific consultation -- felting with my doggo's fur. I had my samples and the needle I was using and although they didn't have experience with dog fur they immediately diagnosed the problem with my needle not being a true felting needle. I was able to test out their tools and was on my way to felting success. I came back for a few additional supplies and was overjoyed with the results. Their big giant of a sweet dog who runs the shop is also a plus for visiting.

Due to the stressed supply chain, the frame ended up being backordered. They gave me the option to select another frame or proceed and wait.

Maybe the only bright spot of 2020. I know that's a strange to say about a gallery and frame store,…read morebut hear me out. My 4 year old son knocked a painting off my sister's wall and cracked the glass. I wanted to get the glass replaced before she got back from her shift at the hospital, so I took it to Yarmouth Frame and Gallery. And I brought my son, I guess to make sure he learned his lesson (I don't know, made sense to me). They not only could fix it, they said they would do it right then and there. So my son and I looked around the gallery. Beautiful stuff. I mean, amazing. And 5 minutes later they walked out and handed me a perfectly fixed painting. And....didn't charge me. Wouldn't take payment. Literally wouldn't let me pay. I almost burst into tears. This year it's so rare for something good to happen, I just wasn't expecting it. I didn't know what to say. Actually speechless. Not sure this review begins to repay them. And I'm not talking about the money part. I'm talking about going out of their way to be good people. Sorry for the long review, here's the summary: Go here. Bring things to get framed, get fixed and to buy art work. Because you won't find nice people anywhere. Little faith in humanity restored. And this year...I really needed that.

Halcyon Yarn is one of my favorite yarn shops. It's definitely an old school knitting and weaving…read moreshop, still stocking a lot of yarn on cones, and having disproportionately more fine, synthetic, and cotton yarns as compared to a shop more focused on knitting -- because knitters tend to favor thicker, quicker animal fiber and synthetic yarns while weavers tend prefer lighter, finer cotton yarns. That said, they carry a respectable variety of classic New England wool knitting yarns -- Bartlett, Harrisville, Peace Fleece, Jaggerspun -- and a few of the trendier luxury yarn lines -- Debbie Bliss and Malabrigo, among others. But what I like most about them is actually criticized by other reviewers. As a male knitter, the thing I despise about visiting yarn stores elsewhere is the constant attention I get. There are stores I have walked out of without buying yarn, never to return, because the staff have stalked me around the store as I browsed as if they're afraid I will snatch a hank of cashmere and bolt for the door. At Halcyon, they nod at me when I walk in and then leave me alone to shop, trusting me to come up to the counter if I have a question. Other shops treat me as a freak or an idiot because I'm a male knitter; the staff at Halcyon trusts that I know what I'm doing. That said, every time I have had a question, the staff have been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and every time I visit the area and can make time, I visit Halcyon.
