They also sell fabric. The fabric ranges from everyday quilting cotton to Liberty of London cotton Lawn. Their yarn variety is fabulous too. They carry Borocco and Fiber---- (sp?) and active pair perfect sock yarn as well as many other weights. I like that they did have a lot of fiber that other shops don't normally carry. They also have roving and Ashford spinning wheels (kiwi 3 and country spinner) and Regis heddle looms. I went to buy a kiwi, and ended up with a lot more! The staff was super nice and allowed me to assemble the wheel in the store. They loaned me tools and had everything else I needed. I know there were ladies doing a sew or knit in in their back room. I didn't participate but listed in. I think they were welcoming of newbies and some of them knew each other a while. If I lived here, it would probably become a hangout for me. This is definitely on my list to stop by whenever I'm in the area. And I'm 100% sure I can get my girlfriends to do a roadtrip to come visit here. I'm so excited to find such a neat shop! It hits my two favorite hobbies! Quilting/sewing and fiber!

I unfortunately was not super thrilled with my experience here! The employees were friendly and…read moreattentive, but I did not like the selection, and could not find what I needed (buttons). When I realized that they did not sell buttons, I took a look around the store to familiarize myself. I found a lot of the yarn options were either not great quality or for very beginner knitters (think SUPER chunky, neon colors, brands I've never heard of, acrylic blends). Sadly, I won't be going back to Gauge.

I am very excited to have discovered this hidden gem. When I first walked in I only saw needlepoint…read morecrafting supplies and two ladies sitting at a table knitting. I was quickly assured that the yarn room was in the back. I asked if they had crochet patterns and once again I was not disappointed. I shared that I was looking for a crochet pattern for a dress or top for myself. The lady who worked there went and rounded up single patterns, magazines and books for me to peruse. I found some really nice patterns and was able to purchase the quantity of yarn I needed. I also scored on the yarn as it was wet spun linen at 1/2 price. The yarn room is arranged by weight of yarn and has many lovely choices. There is also lots of crocheting supplies and books from which to choose. The ladies were very helpful and they oohed and aahed over my ravelry project page as we discussed my various pattern and yarn choices. That was probably my favorite part of this shopping excursion.

I called the store last week looking for Cascade 220 and Rowan Felted Tweed DK. I was told they…read morecarried one of them and that someone could help me find a substitute for the other. I appreciated the offer because while I've learned - and am still learning - about yarn substitution, it's still one of those tasks I'd rather get expert-level help with. So yesterday I swung by in-person to ask about the yarns. I made sure to paste ALL the yarn and needle info from my knitting instructions on my phone to show whoever was going to help me. There was a class going on and only one person was available to help (although she looked busy preparing something for the class while standing at a counter). I first asked for Cascade 220. The staffer wasn't sure of that particular line, so she asked for the weight. The yarn thickness category designated by the Craft Yarn Council (CYC) was the LAST thing on my mind. I'm not a vintage-only knitter or anything, and I dare call myself a prolific maker, but I'd say only half of the patterns I've used since I started knitting in the 1990s include the CYC's yarn weight standards' symbol: an illustrated yarn skein with its CYC category number. I'm more used to seeing it on actual yarn labels, so it's not my habit to note it when looking for yarn in-person. Also, no one asked me for the CYC weight when I called last week; we were all on the same wavelength during that call. So, I told the staffer the GRAM weight of the skein, and the conversation immediately shifted. As nice as this staffer was, she walked me over to a wall of yarn, showed me the store's copy of the CYC yarn weight standards chart, and started explaining how yarn weights are determined from lace to jumbo. I didn't bother interrupting her to say anything in my defense. When she first asked me for the yarn weight, I didn't ask "do you mean the physical mass of the yarn or the yarn thickness category?" But as someone representing Nimble Fingers, neither did she. And I do understand there may have been an additional disconnect. While at the wall pointing out certain yarns, the staffer mentioned that the store's yarns are organized by CYC weight. So who knows, right? Maybe she first asked me about the yarn weight to figure out where to send me on their yarn wall while I wandered the store with a near-empty tote bag big enough to smuggle home a sheep. Anyway... At first she didn't want to look at the typed yarn info on my phone for some reason. And without my reading glasses I rarely need while out 'n' about, I fumbled a bit reading my well-organized yarn notes - with highlighted needle sizes and skein amounts - out loud, which I'm sure added to me looking like a fish out of water. The staffer pointed out some yarns that might work as substitutions, and she suggested that I take a picture of them, which I did, so I could think more about my ultimate choice. But because yarn substitution is usually more nuanced than matching a thickness category and calling it a day, I was super disappointed that I clearly wasn't talking to whoever was on the phone last week. I'd been practicing my brioche stitch on acrylic stash yarn for a few months. I was SO ready to buy the yarn for my project. So that happened. The staffer was pleasant enough throughout the interaction, and even dropped a now-fashionable "y'all" on your Cousin Kerstin. But honestly, experiences like this can hit differently for some BIPOC makers, especially newer knitters navigating crafting spaces where assumptions about knowledge and belonging can feel loaded, like when my answer to this staffer's yarn weight question was apparently the "wrong" one. I also noticed an older 2019 customer photo on this Yelp page showing a much larger yarn selection, so I'm not sure if the store layout has changed or if there are additional areas I wasn't shown, but I was only shown a single wall of yarn during my visit. Between the awkward interaction that didn't match the informed help I got over the phone, the overall limited selection, and the fact that we took the bus out there specifically looking for yarn options I can't usually find at chain craft stores, I don't see myself making the trip again.
