Visited this shop again this March and had another wonderful experience here! There is a huge selection of yarns, both from local hand dyers and well known brands. The owner was fantastic in helping me find different yarn weights and notions. If you're looking for a yarn store in the area, 10/10 recommend Have Ewe Any Wool! read more

Nice yarn shop with a great selection of merchandise. Owner is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable!

I love to shop local, where you can actually feel the yarns, especially in such a lovely shop with such a friendly, informative owner.

I came in with a more challenging pattern than I've ever done and no idea where to start. Ben was super friendly and helpful. He looked over the pattern and helped me get everything I needed in terms of yarn and needles since none of the needles I have would work for this project. I really appreciated that he checked if I knew how to wind the yarn I bought (spoiler alert, no) so he explained how I could do it at home and then wound it for me in the store. I'm really excited for this project - and also the next one, which I found by chance in the store and he printed a copy for me. Overall, this shop came highly recommended to me by a serious knitting friend and I would absolutely make this a go-to for my future yarn needs. read more

See all

I make it a practice to visit local yarn shops when I'm on business trips and was thrilled to find this one. Ben, the owner, is so friendly, knowledgeable & helpful. Amazing selection of yarns, needles & notions. Cozy atmosphere. If you're in the Bufallo area it's worth the visit. Can't wait to come back! read more

Absolutely lovely store. Very cozy. Customers are encouraged to sit, knit and visit. The merchandise is great! Lots of selections. I was impressed with Ben's, the owner, patience as he helped a nice lady learning a new anf difficult stitch. He is very knowledgeable about his stock and knitting. read more

Have Ewe Any Wool - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Amherst, New York

Friendly, helpful staff, a welcoming environment, and a wide variety of yarn and oddments. I haven't been here since the pandemic started but in general it's my first choice for all things knitting related, better than online or big box retailers for customer service, variety, and quality. I know that classes are usually available but haven't taken any, although I have walked in to the store and witnessed them in progress and have received help with a project from staff more than once. read more

I stopped into Have Ewe Any Wool and met Ben. He calmly took all my thoughts into consideration and gave me valuable tips. He told me how to get the gauge I wanted with the colors of yarn I wanted. I went home and got a PERFECT gauge first time ever!!! The yarn he sold me is soft and scrumptious. When I thought about how much he knew I wondered if he had taken ownership of the store. I googled it--and he IS the owner. He is absolutely wonderful. You will not go wrong with his suggestions!!! Can't wait to buy more yarn from him. Thanks Ben read more

What can I say about Have Ewe Any Wool? As soon as you walk in you sense the coziness and friendliness of the store. At a glance, the store is small. But if you look towards the back, you will see a set of stairs that leads into another room. They sell very high quality yarn. They offer a nice assortment of mohair and Alpaca. They tend to have a lot on sale too. If you look at the print-out patterns on the table, you will find some that are free with purchase. Don't forget to look for those! The store is surrounded by plushy lamb dolls and other lamby decor. It's quite cute and the wool is so soft. The customer service is very nice and experienced. read more

Have Ewe Any Wool - Well? Have Ewe? - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Amherst, New York

Lovely store, and very warm greeting upon my arrival. Great selection of yarn, notions, etc. Visited the store while out of town a business trip, and will definitely come back next time I'm here. I'd highly recommend stopping in to see what they have! read more

I LOVE this place! This is the only yarn shop locally that I patronize and rarely do I step foot in JoAnn ever since I found this cozy little shop a few years ago. Exceptional yarn and fantastic selection. If there are not enough skeins, Linda, the owner, will order more for you. Sometimes her husband is in the shop and he is the designated "yarn winder" -he takes the skein of yarn and places it on a large bobbin and winds it into a ball. He's very pleasant to talk to. One thing that could use some attention is the website -it has sort of a "homemade" feel to it and I don't find it to be useful except to find out where the shop is located and how late they're open until. I find it to be a very relaxing experience to visit Have Ewe Any Wool, and I always walk away satisfied. read more

This yarn shop is wonderful. They have a lot of the famous luxury yarns, like Rowan kidsilk haze, Misti Chunky Alpaca, and so on, as well as a great selection of the many hues of Cascade 220 and Lamb's Pride. So, a good mix of the high-end and standard. There was one person working there when I went, and she was very helpful and pleasant to talk to. She didn't have the habit that so many yarn shop ladies have of ignoring one because one is under the age of 40. She even went searching for the roving in the backroom when I asked about it, and called the owner to determine the pricing when it wasn't marked. She also told me they were expecting a shipment in a few days, rather than let me buy something if something better was going to come along. I usually use Cascade 220 as my gauge for a yarn shop's pricing. Of course I've forgotten it, though. But it was more than it costs in Ithaca, but less than it costs in Boulder, for what it's worth ^^ read more

Great yarn shop very helpful. Lots of projects. Wish I lived closer. I would be there all the time.

I'm brand new to yarn shops, so I really can't get too much into the types of yarn available, however, what I can add is comments about the customer service. I first stepped foot into this yarn shop in December 2009. At the time, I was with a knitting pro who immediately hit it off with the owner, Linda. We were greeted at the door and Linda asked how she could help us and offered to show us around the store if we wanted a tour. We choose to just browse since we really had dropped in more out of curiosity than for a project mission. In January 2010 I returned to this shop and signed up for beginner crochet lessons. It was $35 for three 2-hour sessions. The sessions were wonderful. There were only two of us taking them and our instructor was fabulous. The one on one attention left me with three stitches under my belt and one project in swing (a baby blanket). Although my crochet lessons are finished, I have stopped in once or twice in the past month just for the atmosphere. Someone is always sitting in the front room chatting with others while working on knitting or crochet projects. When you walk in the front door, it's warm and welcoming and they invite knitters, crocheters, and yarn enthusiasts of all ages. It's the place to be if you're into yarn and friendship-making ;) read more

This shop has the best selection, quality, ambiance, knowledge you can ask for! The shop is organized, neat and clean. The projects are endless (I went in once just to buy needles and managed to buy a kit for a beautiful shawl I gave to my daughter for Christmas). Linda is beyond knowledgeable. As a knitter herself, she has already made so many patterns that she can also speak from personal experience. No rush, very comfortable shopping experience. Love Linda:) Pat Severson Tonawanda read more

Nice place. It's bigger than it seems from the outside because of the backroom. There are pretty good sales around, a nice selection, and ok prices. Welcoming staff and customers I just moved to the hood, so I will probably be here a lot. read more

My absolute favorite shop to buy the most beautiful yarns! The shop has a wide variety of yarns and classes! The owner Ben is super talented and highly skilled in the yarn arts!! Don't know how to knit? No worries! He has classes and group nights where you can learn! I highly recommend!! read more

This is a boutique-y yarn shop in many ways: it's small, local, and the owner is usually very helpful. I typically visit to purchase yarn for small projects. If you'll be using your yarn right away, they're happy to wind the yarn into a ball with a handy tabletop winder, if the store is not too busy. (The signs around make it clear that if you want to sit and knit the yarn must be purchased there, which I assumed was obvious, but apparently not.) The shop can feel a bit cliquey if you enter when ladies are sitting and knitting, so if you're an introvert, try to get there at their off time. The best yarn to buy at Have Ewe Any Wool is any of the large variety of high quality wool or other natural fibers, for although they do sell various acrylic yarn, that's stuff you can purchase at the craft stores for less. The selection at Have Ewe Any Wool makes it hard to decide which to choose, since there are so many textures and colors. I've observed limited quantities, but if you're making a large project, they'll order for you if need be. There is also a decent selection of buttons -- FUN buttons, although some are quite expensive due to the artisan nature of them. But icing on the cake! read more

I enjoy my time there, Linda, the previous owner just retired and both she and the new owner, Ben are extremely helpful and knowledgeable, Both made me feel comfortable and the yarn selection is totally awesome, a rainbow of delight! will definitely frequent the shop and hope to see you there! read more

I love this place. The owner is very helpful and has a wonderful selection. I can't go into this store without a goal in mind or I'd leave with too much stuff. read more

Wonderful yarn shop! I always feel welcome and the staff is quick to greet you and ask if you need any assistance. They ALWAYS offer to wind your yarn....which I appreciate because the only other yarn store close by has a strict policy that they do NOT wind your purchase. I highly recommend the quality of yarn you can find here! read more

Wonderful yarn shop! Owner Linda is extremely personable and helpful. I started shopping here August 2011, a few months after I started knitting, and love the wide variety of yarns and other supplies. Took a great sock knitting class (great instructor Maryann) last fall. Shop is temporarily located across the street from its actual location due to fire/smoke damage in December, but will return to original store August. read more

This shop provides a wide variety of yarns and notions for sale. Linda, the shop owner, is friendly and very knowledgable on all aspects of knitting and yarns. The shop has a very welcoming feel to it. I buy all my yarn and knitting supplies at Have Ewe Any Wool. There is no need to go anywhere else. It's the best! read more

Nice cozy atmosphere and a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Good selection of standard and luxury yarn. I wish they had a larger selection of Cascade, like the superwash and Eco instead of just the 220 in limited color choices. read more
