I only gave a one-star review once, when I was menaced by a loose dog inside the store. Otherwise,…read morethis would be a one-star. When I stopped in, it was on a quilt run. I called to get directions, and the person I spoke with couldn't tell me how to get to the store, couldn't tell me the street address, and told me the wrong exit to take off of the freeway. Once we arrived, the fabric selection was small and poor, the samples were adequate at best, and the employees told me 'smile, it can't be that bad,' very condescending and sexist. Things were exactly that bad, and I've never heard a man be told to smile. I would only stop here again if they're included on the Quilt Safari, but I don't think they should be. It was a waste of time and money to go there.

A Spinner's Barn is the gift shop located on Aragon Alpacas' farm. They're open at the holidays and…read morefor special events, as well as by appointment. You can probably go in any time you're visiting Aragon Farm (make an appointment to be sure). A Spinner's Barn has a beautiful selection of silky smooth alpaca yarn, gorgeous alpaca fur blankets, clothing and scarves woven locally, alpaca fleece, socks, stuffed animals, bags, hats, alpaca-themed gifts like mugs, and a variety of original landscape paintings by the Plein Air Painters of Lane County, whom you'll often find painting out at the farm. A Spinner's Barn also organizes spinning classes if you get in touch with them. We stopped by this week, petted the adorable and very sweet alpacas, and then quickly sought some warmth in the gift shop where we got some of the softest yarn I've ever felt as a christmas gift for a family member. Our visit was well worth the drive, but make sure you check that they're open, or just call ahead and they'll make sure they're there to open the place for you!

Afghans are woven locally from our yarn. The hoodies and designer sweaters are made in Peru, where alpacas originated. Landscape paintings adorn the walls, for sale by local artists. A spinning wheel is available for impromptu demonstrations, and the alpacas are usually gathered just outside for you to visit. Meet the animal who has contributed fleece during annual shearing.

The woman working was super friendly, checking out was easy. There is a plethora of yarn, every different style, color, type you could think of. Even locally made!

The shop is crowded with wool, yarn and felting. I came out with four skeins of hand-spun yarn, using the same materials (Shetland wool), but spun by four different people. Fascinating. The owner is knowledgeable, raises sheep, and knows the progeny of each skein she sells.

What I would call a knit or yarn shop actually has classes, picks, cards, blends and dyes fibers,…read morefelts and spins. I would say it is not your typical knit shop but lends itself to fiber preparation. The main product for sale is fiber so if you are a knitter and not a spinner this shop won't meet most of your needs. Well stocked, orderly and clean the woman was friendly and quite knowledgeable of her fiber stock from many different animals. I give it 3 stars from a knitter only perspective.

Having heard so much about the evils of this place (I'm from Eugene, home to every Bored White…read moreSavior of Everything), I thought I'd see it for myself. I liked it. It struck me as "TJ Maxx meets fabrics & crafts", though with a notable overabundance of plastic flowers. Not sure what the deal was with that, but you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a faux carnation. Lots & lots of fairly interesting trinkets, including huge name-in-lights alphabet letters, decorative mangoes & cheese - now *that's* white - and my personal favorite: the shiny pillows. YOU MUST FONDLE THE SHINY PILLOWS. As for the apparent Christian nature of the chain, it didn't jump out at me in terms of merchandise apart from a selection of surprisingly beautiful crosses (relax, I'm a confirmed agnostic, and I'm not going to shit on someone's parade just to look "cool" for grouches). So why the less-than-perfect rating? Because the people there appear to be assholes. I expect little in the way of humanity from the ill-paid among us, but my one interaction was with an older woman who was openly glaring at me for asking a question... in precisely the same "get thee behind me" manner I received almost everywhere during my travels in Red States. (In case you missed the hint/reference, I'm saying that she was a bitch masquerading as an acolyte of Jesus) But apart from this stupidly contrary-to-Christianity-AND-capitalism attitude, it was a fine experience there. In fact, you'd probably have a hard time getting *any* of the employees to even acknowledge you at all, so no need to worry about forcible conversions or anything... ;)
