I bought my wife a "sewing and machine package" for $566.00. When my wife finished the class and…read morebrought the machine home, it was not the machine that I purchased. In fact it was a machine that retailed for almost $400 less than what I paid. Ginger insisted I was mistaken and refused to make it right.

When you're making pieces that you want to last for many years you look for quality yarn and they have top set yarns, roving materials, looms etc. If you are into the fiber arts you will not be disappointed with this gem! Can't wait to go back!

I purchased two sets of arm warmers from CCSpins and Things as a Christmas gift for myself in…read moreDecember 2015. The first set is blue, purple & green. They are shorter & go to about mid forearm. the second set is orange & black & they go all the way to my elbows. I also purchased a dark blue & light blue hat for my boyfriend which he adores. The quality is superb & absolutely cannot be beaten by anyone I've shopped with previously. You cannot go wrong with this seller!

Oh yarn, looks like this store is one of the best places to buy yarn in Chicago!…read more This shop is right next to Jones College Prep. The entrance is a bit confusing, just use the directory and they will buzz you in! The selection was great- everything from larger brands like Rowan and Cascade, to local hand dyers like Leading Men! I also thought their prices were pretty fair for a local yarn shop (e.g. skein of Rowan Made Alpaca Haze was $10 vs online is ~$8.80). The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. They will point you in the right direction but also let you browse alone (when choosing colors I need full concentration). They also offer a range of classes too! Overall, would definitely recommend this yarn shop!

Tina was extraordinarily knowledgable about how the yarns knit up and which one would be good for my project. She even helped my boyfriend pick out a color that would look great on him! There's a sign in the store that says something like 'you come in a customer and leave as family." It's so true! I wish I lived closer so that I could be a part of this LYS community! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back next time we're in town.

I walked in on a Sunday around 2pm. I was never greeted by any person. There were two tables of…read morepeople knitting in groups. There was a strong odor of cigarette smoke outside the shop, but thought this could have been from someone smoking outside. Nope. The strong smoke odor permeated throughout the shop. I spent about 15 minutes in the shop, picking up several different skeins of yarn to inspect the fibers and composition. No one was at the register. I'm not even sure if anyone there was working or not. It felt like I had entered a party that I was not invited to. Strange experience. I wanted to support a local business instead of Michaels, but walked out without a purchase. Even as I was exiting there was no greeting of any kind.

The tea selection is broad and buying loose tea in bulk (you can choose however many ounces you want) let me get a bunch of varieties to take home at a reasonable price.

Since my first step into this business I have had only fantastic service and advice. I have met many crafters in this store and they all have said wonderful things about the shop and owner.

I recommend this store to everyone wanting a positive experience for knitting, painting, quilting, sewing, or just to hang out with fellow crafters. Everyone is always welcomed and offered help and assistance....which you will NEVER get at a "big store!"

The Knit Knack Shop is a mom & pop business with supplies and helpful information for knitting…read more Although they cater to machine knitters, It's where I get my yarn to make all of my crochet & hand knitted baby blankets I give as gifts. These baby blankets are always well loved as they are super soft for babies. I normally use 1 end Cotton Tale 8 (100% Cotton) & 1 end Micro Tamm (100% Microfiber Acrylic). They are perfect together. The cotton shrinks a bit when it's washed, and the microfiber gets very soft. Since the cotton shrinks a little, it makes for a nice solid blanket without holes (unless you make it lace). Sometimes I will use Bebe if I'm looking for a different color than is available in Micro Tamm. But most of my gifts are in white; sometimes other colors. They all machine wash & dry really well, and they are stain resistant in my experience. Sometimes I crochet & sometimes I knit the baby blankets. The best is that I only need to get 1 cone of each to make a baby blanket - that means I don't have to weaving in millions of ends! Just 1 at the beginning & 1 at the end. I just love that. I definitely recommend using this yarn for crochet & hand knitting. Full disclosure... My parents own this business. BUT I have to say of all the yarn I've tried for baby blankets, it's still the yarn I choose to purchase! And everyone who is has gotten one of my baby blankets comments on the quality and hand feel of the yarn over & over.
