    I'm loving their new location! I've visited a few times over the past 2 months, and I love how…read moremuch they've expanded. I only visited their old spot on Grand Ave once, but it seems like they've expanded their inventory (see pictures). This new location has so much natural daylight and a lovely seating area for classes or just to sit and work on a project. I'm allergic to animal-based fibers (I like to joke my skin is vegan), so I'm happy they have a good selection of cotton yarn, not just one or two! They don't just stop at yarn. They have materials and tools for felting, embroidery, kits of many sorts, gifts, etc. Service: the people here are super knowledgeable and helpful! From selecting materials to pattern help, they're happy to step in. It's great to have a place where the workers are ready to help when the internet falls short. Prices: what you'd expect from a small business. You're paying for quality though. Parking: free on street or free parking lot behind the businesses next door. Accessibility: for those with wheelchairs and mobility issues, there's a wheelchair-accessible entrance in the back of the shop accessible by the alley (better to drive your car back there).

    I signed up to take a knitting class here, so paid a visit to the store for the supplies. What a…read morecute store. Chairs to sit at and knit. Lots of supplies! The person at the counter helped me find the items and made recommendations. I was impressed. It was a bit expensive- $50 for the class supplies, but got a 10% discount since I am enrolled. We parked on the street in front of the store. They have a OneYarn cause that the store donates to organizations that support the LGBTQIA+ community, and I am in support of that.

    I had placed an order yesterday for curbside pick (something new because of quarantine) I came…read moretoday at 4:20 pm and parked outside, we saw the workers active in the store, we assumed it was open. My calls were not going through so we sat and waited... the workers had made eye contact with us several times leaving us to sit and wonder if it was open or not. With uncertainty we drove away where we noticed 2 other workers staring at us??? This was a very uncomfortable experience... definitely going to get my products shipped to me from now on. the utilization of curbside pickup is OVER. mic drop.

    My review is regarding Michael's online shopping-pick up at store. This was a very frustrating…read moreexperience. After untold amount of time and effort, was being charged shipping. So online shopping pick up at store is no better than just shipping right to customer's home. I wanted to order item and have picked up at Michael's in Mankato, MN. Site would not recognize my account, user ID, etc. nor would it let me sign up (in case of snafu). So then I tried to prepay for my order, in the Mankato store, but was told they could not take payments over the phone. Ridiculous in this day and age. I received daily emails from Michael's, so company has my email address. Also wanted me to download the Michael's app on my phone. I do not agree with Michael's privacy policy--providing all my info to other companies and entities, even including number of family members. Have all customers actually read your privacy policy? I should be able to order something without all these requirements. I finally ended up having store hold my item, while I send my sister money to go pay and pick it up. I will tell everyone I know about this horrible experience.
