When searching for a local yarn shop, Lift Bridge is an example to be followed. The store is packed with a broad selection of fiber and yarns for all types of crafters - from spinners, to knitters, crocheters, and more! They carry many local vendors with incredible lines of robust colors, including variegated dye products (which was exactly what I was looking for). They have sample products for many, if not all, of their yarns so it is easy to see how the yarn will appear once woven. The atmosphere is warm. Not just because everything is cotton or wool, but due to the incredible service. Lift Bridge has dedicated, knowledgable, employees who are happy to help you find exactly what you're looking for. They also offer classes and craft nights! For all these reasons, I am definitely going to be a repeat customer and hopefully a regular! read more

I made a quick visit to lift bridge yarns to get advice about my summer knitting project. My project was not going well. Although I checked my gauge when I started, the sweater was looking way too large. No worries the ladies there, whipped out the original sweater I had tried on and showed me that my work was almost the same size. I had planned to make the back of my sweater extra long to cover my butt which was making me short on my yarn. Again not to worry, they fortunately had some of the yarn left and in the same dye lot. Off I went home feeling happy about my project and confident that I will be able to finish it. read more

The friendliest yarn shop you ever want to visit. I wanted a specific yarn, as far as softness goes, for a project I was making for someone very special. After speaking with the very knowledgeable staff at Lift Bridge, I discovered that what I had in mind would not work by itself. They spent a lot of time showing me different options for my project in different color ways. I am so grateful for their help and appreciate that they took the time to wind the skeins for me. It is a bright and welcoming atmosphere to explore. read more

I recently ordered online from Lift Bridge Yarns and received my yarn quickly. Unfortunately a mistake had been made in the order. I emailed them and was so pleased that they answered immediately and sent a new skein of yarn the same day. They included a personalized note and a free pattern for a cute hat to boot. In today's environment where you are often treated anonymously, it is such a pleasure to have good customer service that is delivered by a real human! read more
