It was hard to find anything under $20 (even used T-shirts!!!) so that was a little disappointing. The selection of denim jackets was exceptionally impressive though. But this is definitely a high end pricey shop. If you're looking for good bargains, I wouldn't recommend coming here. However, if you're looking to find unique items at any cost, this would be the place for you!

There is all sorts of stuff here, from wigs to dresses to specialty umbrellas. The store doesn't look that big, but dig a little deeper and one will find there is a backroom with plenty of variety of fabrics in different sizes. I came here looking for old style shoes and umbrellas and came away empty handed. It was just my luck they ran out that day of the type of stuff I was looking for. The couple running this place was young and super nice. They were gracious in answering my group's questions and were able to communicate in a variety of languages. I'm sure the next time I need to find Asian accessories in Montreal, I'll probably stop in here to check things out.

I was able to get some seriously beautiful shawls here at only $7 a piece or $13 for two. They have a wide variety of anime goodies ranging from what others have already mentioned, Plushies, key chains, figurines, pins, back packs etc. I found an awesome Totoro mouse pad here. I'd say it's definitely worth a look, there's something here for everyone.

The shop carries nicer, higher-end yarns. There are a lot of knitted samples to pique your creative interest. I didn't try their tea and pastries, but they have a nice, small selection. I bought a few items that were specific to La Maison Tricotée. The staff was so nice, welcoming, and helpful. I would recommend La Maison Tricotée to knitters, crocheters and yarn lovers. Even if you are not, but need to buy a gift for one, the helpful employees would give you guidance.

I had time to visit one yarn shop on a business trip to Montreal. I couldn't have chosen better and…read moreI wish there were more stars to give. The young lady working that day showed me all around when I asked about local, hand dyed yarns and told me interesting things about each brand. I had a delightful cup of tea and even though it was nearing closing time, I never felt rushed. She even helped me choose a great place to go to dinner and recommended a great bar to visit with a cool atmosphere I loved (Darling bar). But then she really went above and beyond when my uber driver called and she spoke to him for me in French. I ended up needing to request another driver and she offered me to wait inside the store out of the cold rain while he arrived even though the shop was closing. On top of that, I bought beautiful yarn! I am so glad to have things to remember from this shop. Many yarn stores have fabulous yarn but it's customer service like this that makes people fall in love with the store. (The tea and baked goods don't hurt either.) How I wish it was my LYS and that I didn't live hundreds of miles away. I hope I get to visit it again. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and visit this store!
