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.

All merchandise was organized really well and by yarn brand. I also noticed some cross stitch and embroidery kits. There was also a display of new DMC thread colors, as well as knitting needles, crochet hooks, and notions. There was a small group of people knitting while I was there shopping. 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!

Holy Toledo , I can't believe it. Slot cars are making a comeback. I remember the days of old, when…read moreI was a kid. I made my slot cars out of piano wire and brass. Bent the wire , cut the brass, soldered it all together. Rewound the armature, and replaced the magnets with Arco Magnets . Away my car went screaming around the track. My car was fast and hugged the track. I was sort of a geek for that back then. I was around 9 or 10. I remember The Groove ( Hot Dogs ) , Thom Thumb, Pit Stop, and a few more that the names I can not recall. I still after all these years (59) have my slot car case and most of the parts. I still have boxes of trophies I won in races. Well here is a business that is just opening up soon with a track. Next time I come to Toledo I will bring my case , MXR controllers and cars. See what I have to do to tweak out my 1/24th and 1/32nd scale cars to make the lap. I will give a later update on this when I come back.
