Pretty much going to echo all the sentiments in the previous review by Erin S.! This Yarn store is…read moreSUPER DUPER posh in my book. Was in the Fairport area on a Saturday. The store is located in an office park, and I must admit that I find the location superb for a yarn-o-holic like myself. It is quiet with ample parking making it perfect for an open knitting session with your friends :-) Though I also find that little yarn nooks in commercial districts are super cute too. They just have this cool nerdy chic way of standing out. Apart from Madeline Tosh, Yarn Culture carries indie yarns not available to other Local Yarn Stores as covered on the previous review. The store is very neat and organized with good lighting...VERRRY important for open knitting. I am looking forward to my next visit...and yarn haul!

They have my preferred needles- the super speedy stainless steel ChiaoGoo circulars, in just about every imaginable size and cable length. They carry lots of quality yarn, host trunk shows for artisans, and have local made products for sale- such as the bright pink skull stitch marker I picked up when I was last there. The shop itself is beautiful- bright with natural light, spacious, modern, and comfortable. The work they have on display makes me want to become a better knitter. I hope to take one of their numerous classes in the future. Knitty Gritty is very responsive on social media and their website is as great as their physical space is. There is a private parking lot which is sizable.

After being directed to him as someone who might be open to the opportunity, Curtis took one look at the item, scowled, and said, "That's not anything I want to touch. You can fix it yourself." It was truly a memorable experience. Without Curtis, I may have gone on with my day feeling perfectly fine. Instead, I was given the opportunity to feel embarrassed for making an innocent request at a store that had once been a cherished part of my childhood memories. Thank you again, Curtis!

Up until then I had never gone into my local little yarn store...wow I sure had missed out on a lot. There is so much to find and the store owner is very knowledgeable and will help find the best yarn for your project that works best for your budget. A wide range of yarns from higher end acrylics to the beautiful hand spun and dyed artists brands. If she doesn't carry it or have it in stock she will help you find it! Definitely my go to place!

I joined a Knit-a-long in 2019 and, through group encouragement and great advice, finished my first sweater. While the pandemic certainly changed things, I will fondly recall evening project sessions at the shop, comparing progress, laughing and chatting with a small group. Jean has a nice selection of yarns for the size of the shop and is often happy to order items she may not carry in store. She went above and beyond when things were shut down doing deliveries in town right to people's doorsteps. Wooly Minded is an absolute gem!

Parkleigh has saved my life by stocking all the gifts I forgot to get, didn't want to cart all the way to Western New York, or didn't even know I wanted to buy. They have something for everyone, and I truly mean that. If you can't find a gift for someone here, it's because that person doesn't like anything at all. They've got chocolates of all kinds, tea and coffee ground to order (which I wish I'd known before I'd bought mine elsewhere), beauty products, stuffed animals, coasters, books, flasks, camping gear, cookware, Bills gear, candy, and of course, socks, cards, mugs, shirts, hats, and anything else you could want with clever and funny little sayings. Seriously, so many socks. I've never seen this many socks that talk about drinking wine. But if that's something you need in your life, get over to Parkleigh. Also, the staff is super sweet and helpful.

What keeps drawing us back is the incredible mix they've perfected-- everything from sentimental to silly, practical to indulgent, fragrant to delicious. Their selection spans greeting cards, gourmet chocolates, coffees and teas, local Rochester items, MacKenzie‑Childs, jewelry, toys, and an ever‑changing rotation of gifts from both local and international makers. The store itself is beautiful, with exposed brick, hardwood floors, original tin ceilings, and eye‑catching displays that make wandering the aisles feel like opening a present. What we love most is that there is always something new, fun, or beautiful to explore, no matter how many times we visit. After two decades, we're still excited to walk through the door, and we know we'll keep coming back for many years to come.
