Besides all the beautiful yarns and projects full of potential, the best thing about this shop was the people. The owner, Charlene, is very helpful and willing to assist you at any point in your project. The rapport between her and the shopping and knitting guests is warm and wonderful. Knitting is on my list of things to pick up someday, and I'll definitely head here to do it!

"Come on in! We're AWESOME!"…read more This was the sign I noticed - much smaller than the sign out front that declares that YARN is sold here, but it's what grabbed my attention and made me smile. The chalkboard by the door made me laugh out loud (do take the time to walk up and read it for yourself). My first experience at Stitch in Time began with these positive postings outside, and I had been hopeful about this local-enough-to-me shop (I live in Brighton) after having learned that it has been in business 27 years and that the owner, Charlene Hatfield, is a certified instructor with the Yarn Council of America. Wow. And wowed I was upon entering. Among the first items I spied were my favorite brands of needles, then some beautiful yarn, and more beautiful yarn. Then Charlene popped around the corner - it was a Wednesday, and she was at the table with those gathered for open knitting each week, available from 10 AM until 6 PM. I was given a verbal guide to the store, invited to open cupboards and doors to look and touch anything, and had some of the specialty yarns highlighted - some from Dublin, Stitch in Time's own line, and others from indie dyers from the US. The armoire stocked with Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift has to be seven feet tall, six feet wide, and stocked with more colors than I have seen anywhere I have looked (as I haven't yet been to Scotland)! I have found *my* LYS here in Michigan! The feeling of warmth and welcome exuded by each person I met, the caliber of Charlene's knitting knowledge and ability to elevate my skills, and the inspiration that adorns the walls, tops of cabinets, and shelves all combine to make *this* the Gold Standard shop in The Mitten! Stitch in Time, you ARE awesome!

Just loved this yarn shop! I stopped in for the 2024 SE Shop Hop. It had been quite a few years…read moresince I had been here - in fact, they were not even in this location last time I visited them. I loved the layout of the yarn - everything was so easy to browse. There were several different areas to sit and knit or browse through magazines. I did find a few yarns to try and a new felt project. I will definitely be coming back here again.

This is one of the best yarn stores that I've been to in the United States in a long time. There's…read morea huge selection of yarns, books, and notions on display. One thing that was disturbing was that I was never greeted by any of the workers and I was roaming the aisles for a chunk of time! I had been to two other "area" yarns stores during this roadtrip, so all my yarn needs had been met and I didn't "need" anything. (Maybe more so that I had blown my yarn budget already this trip...) If I'm ever in this area again, I'll stop by!

I have never had the pleasure of visiting this yarn shop in person so this review is solely based…read moreoff my experience as an online customer from California! I found Michigan Fine Yarns when looking for a place to supplement the soon to be closed Joann's. Someone recommended this on an online knitting forum and I took a risk. They have a very easy to navigate website with a ton of offerings in any color, thickness, weight, and material you could image. The only downside to being an online customer is that we cannot feel the yarn. However, I received a call once when purchasing the pink yarn where they inquired as to what I was making because there were two lots with different dyes used so there was a slight color difference. I was taken aback by how thorough their customer service was and how thoughtful that interaction was! I've attached photos of some projects that I have completed (I'm new to knitting so any mistakes are truly my own and not due to the yarn). I will continue to purchase from Michigan Fine Yarns as they have a range of yarns that can fit any budget. I like to work with the 100% Peruvian wool from Cascade yarns the most and my local yarn stores don't have them in the quantity that I need. I cannot wait until life brings me to Ann Arbor and I can visit this store in person! I might feel like I've died and gone to Heaven.

I'm rather introverted and I appreciate that they greet me but don't crowd me. They're very knowledgeable and the store hosts classes and offers 30 minutes of help on your project for $10. The only downside is it's very tight inside but I would say the selection is worth the sacrifice of space. If you're looking for your JoAnns replacement this is definitely it !!

I learned that there is a group that meets weekly to work on their projects. Very friendly environment! I'll stop in again and shop when in the area. Prices were good for the excellent quality of the yarns!

Last time, I was there 20 minutes and as I was getting ready to leave, one employee stopped chatting with another employee and approached me to see if I needed anything.
