The yarns are high quality and reasonably priced for what you're getting. I bought value yarn for a blanket at $7.99/ea and it's beautiful, 20% wool, and has withstood multiple attacks from pets. The staff is very friendly as well. 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 !! read more

I have never had the pleasure of visiting this yarn shop in person so this review is solely based off 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. read more

I cannot say enough about this yarn shop, except that I wish that I lived closer. I am certain that I will visit when I'm in the area and purchase online when I am not. I FOUND MY TRIBE!!! First - Yelpers - check in! There is a discount coupon with your first check in, which enables you to go a bit wild with your purchases; woo-hoo and thank you!! The prices are terrific and a coupon makes it more so. This is the HQ for Malabrigo. Yes, there are a lot of lovely yarns here, but this is what I was hunting for and this is the place. My former LYSs in Mpls were good and well-stocked, but I have to point my knitting needles here for the depth of selection. Honestly, if it isn't here, it doesn't exist. I met the owner - who knows where EVERY skein is displayed! - as well as a fellow Tricia who could not have been more friendly or helpful. Honestly, I wish this shop was in my neighborhood, I would hang out and knit every weekend. I already miss you! read more

Just because you walk around the store trying to move the aisles so I can get through it with my wheelchair does not necessarily make the place wheelchair accessible. And handed me off to another employee because I questioned you about it and you do not want to response. It's not the proper way to address your customers. read more

A beautiful shop with everything you could ask for and more. Everyone was helpful and friendly. The owner shared her story and we were touched by her vulnerability. A great stop on our Michigan tour! read more

This store has high quality yarn with a rich story. The people who work here go above and beyond, they are knowledgeable and passionate about yarn. I really recommend viewing and attending the different events that they host! I attended a free "yarn tasting" event that had giveaways for everyone who attended. Would highly recommend visiting and supporting this women run business. read more

I ordered a ton of yarn here back in January for a project then a few weeks ago realized I needed a few more skeins, I ordered them along with another skein of unrelated yarn. When it came in the mail they sent me the right color but wrong weight. I emailed them expecting them to send the yarn I actually paid for but they refused to send it without me either making a trip to the post office or waiting a month to mail me a packing slip. I don't feel like I should be made to do work to fix their mess up. On a past order for circular needles last year they sent me the size I ordered but in a wildly different length (that was useless to me) and just emailed me that they were out and sent this replacement. I've spent a lot of money with them in the last few years and feel totally disrespected by their customer service. They didn't even offer to send the right item while I waited for them to send me the label! It's $14 worth of yarn and I will never shop here again. read more

I received the kit and tunisian hooks and cables set for my tunisian class and CAL with Toni Lipsey. Everything is beautiful - the gorgeous colorways of soft Koigu merino yarn, my bonus yarn, and the Knitter's Pride smooth painted wooden hooks plus cables. I appreciated the smart packaging as well as the earlier than expected arrival of my orders. Thank you for the great products and service. read more

I learned about this place through another yarn store which had a sample of their hat pattern displayed. I had to buy the pattern directly from them so I decided to buy it as a kit. I already bought yarn from the store that had the hat sample for it, but buying a couple of their kits meant I also got the yarn to go with them, so I could make more hats for Holiday Gifts for others. :). They happened to be offering a 10% off welcome code for your first order so that was enough encouragement for me to buy a couple of more items. I also read their story on their website and it was a nice one, so even more reason to support them. My order shipped I think the same day, and It was delivered in 2 days. Amazing!! This is my first order here and this review is based on my online and email experience thus far. If things continue like this first experience, hopefully someday I will visit their store in person. :) read more

A lovely product wonderful quality just a joy to work with. I bought the malabrigo worsted and I'm very happy I got four skeins of it

Beautiful selection of yarns and very helpful friendly staff. A little gem of a yarn shop. They have so many to choose from.

My yarn arrived very fast. Exactly what I ordered. Great shop. Highly recommend ordering from them.

Best selection anywhere hands down. The staff is super knowledgeable and kind. The classes are a lot of fun and full of useful information. It's a yarn lovers dream. read more

I first learned of Michigan Fine Yarns from my husband. I am a knitter and he knew I would love something knit related for Christmas. We had just moved in the area from out of state and I had not had a chance to explore the area as I was unpacking and busy moving in. He bought me a beautiful sweater kit that The owner had helped him with. After I received my gift he told me that I would absolutely love this yarn shop. He was right. The owner is very pleasant and helpful and the shop has everything you could ever need as a knitter. I just recently wanted to learn to crochet and purchased a package of three beginning crochet sessions and this is when I met Emily. Amazing teacher. Really enjoyed my time with her. I would highly recommend Michigan Yarns! You will not be disappointed! read more

Best yarn store I have ever been to in my life! Massive selection of yarn to fit every budget. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. The owner is amazing--definitely visit the website to learn about her story. So glad I found this place. It will be a regular stop on my list when I visit my family in Michigan. Almost enough to make me move back! read more

My favorite local yarn shop and they have EVERYTHING!!! Fantastic service and attention to every customer. And their social media is so great too. I always feel connected and inspired to make more projects (need a bigger budget now!) read more

I've become a yarn "snob" - I won't knit on cheap yarn & my local sources usually have what I like but recently I knit a mohair/silk scarf & the recipient wanted the same yarn in another color. i found it online at Michigan Yarns - I ordered it & it arrived in TWO DAYS - I was truly surprised - I expected it to take at least a week. I have ordered online from other sources & it never arrives quickly. I will use Michigan Yarns for all my "out-of-area" yarn supplies. GREAT SERVICE!!!!! Very pleased with my purchase. THANK YOU. read more

I have never visited this store but have ordered yarn twice online. The first time I received my order within three days. The second time I needed to call because I want to be sure I was getting a complementary color. The woman I spoke with, was wise, kind and so very helpful. The customer service is unparalleled in the busy world we live in. This shop will become my go to online yarn shop. I hope to get to this area some day, it is a distance from South Dakota. Everyone who works with yarn should check out this store or site. read more

Love Michigan Fine Yarns. They have 78 color versions of super bulky Merino wool. Very warm and soft to the touch!!

Such a gem. Noticed this online and then realized the shop was within a half hour. I had a glorious visit with helpful staff and cannot wait to go back. Great selection and fair prices. read more

Michigan Fine Yarns is terrific. They had the yarn i was looking for and sent it very quickly. Perfect!

I ordered expensive yarn WEEKS AGO, and have not received it. There is zero customer service when i called to ask for help. They blamed it on USPS, and would not refund or resend. I will never purchase from them again. read more

Incredibly fast shipping! Website is easy to use. The yarn is gorgeous. I highly recommend this shop.

I visited the store at its old location in downtown Plymouth in 2011 and thought it was a very pretty little shop in a quaint area with other lovely little shops. At the time I was fairly new to knitting and was mainly making preemie hats to donate to a group that sent them out to various hospitals across the country. Because of that I was looking for soft but inexpensive Yarns. This place might have been a little out of my budget since everything I made I was donating. Since I was last here they have moved over to this location in a a much larger space with a wonderful big parking lot. I found the employees to be much more helpful than I remember them being previously. At both locations I thought the quality of yarn they had was excellent and and they have one of the widest varieties of any store I've been in. Be sure to check out this location--It's well worth the stop! read more

A lovely yarn shop specializing in a variety of yarns--from inexpensive to luxury yarns--that you don't see every day. Swaran, the owner, is super helpful and friendly. She helped me choose yarns for a couple of projects. It's fun to just walk around and look around. And don't forget to pet the family's dog on your way in/out....he's super chill. read more

Wow this is a huge yarn store! There's a great collection of yarns - one half has cheaper acrylic yarns while the other has higher quality natural fiber yarns. There's even a whole wall of Madeline Tosh! The needles are also a good selection - various lengths of circulars with two different brands (Hiya hiya and chiagoo I believe) along with straights and crochet hooks too. The ladies who run the shop are very nice. They don't poke at you if you don't ask for it, but they're really receptive to questions about yarn choices and patterns. My one issue: when you're heading east on Ann Arbor Rd you can't see the awning with the store name on it until after you've passed the parking lot. They could really use a sign out by the street before the turn in. read more

They have a great selection of yarn. They seem nice and helpful. Make sure you know their ridiculous return policy before you purchase anything. I won't shop there now bc I've accidentally purchased needles I already had and their response was to read the purchase receipt. So to know you cannot return something, you have to buy it first to read the no return policy on the receipt. Never again. Its just too silly to deal with in today's world. read more

If you have not visited this store you are missing out! The selection is HUGE. The stock is plentiful and the owners are incredibly nice and helpful. I don't live close but every time I'm in the area i go to this store and find something I love! I absolutely love this place! read more

I have been in this store twice. I have never been offered Any assistance. I had to find what wanted by myself. The lady at the counter was very preoccupied with scheduling employees instead of a customer in the store (me). The only reason I came in the store twice was because they carry a yarn i cannot find any where else close by. I expect better service from a small business (which i whole heartedly support). Very disappointed read more

Awesome selection of malabrigo and madtosh (among others) in several bases, even some hard to find bases. Polite and helpful staff! I may have over indulged :) read more
