    Wonderful shop in every way, great yarn, nice people, helpful owner, and plenty of models to try on. The yarn is top quality and the normal retail price. The owner took the time to show 5 people Ravelry and how to connect with other knitters and to pull up patterns in The time I was looking. I highly recommend stopping bye and starting a new project. Remember with out business these great small shops can't stay in business, so pls go out and buy a sweaters worth of yarn and knit away! Note that it's just across from the T so very easy access .

    My review would have been five stars except for one thing: I usually can't make it to the shop during its (in my opinion) limited hours when open for business. But today I was on vacation and it was their 25% off sale so the stars finally aligned for me! I love the cute house interior and am thrilled by the large selection of my favorite yarns: Malabrigo Caracol and Mecha. I have to admit that I buy a lot of yarn online. But I wanted to support a local business and it was a really nice experience. There were two employees today and they were both informative and pleasant. I will most likely be back as soon as the stars align again. There is something really nice about taking the skeins over to a window to choose the one with the best colors. That's one thing that can't be done online! They also have a self service winder which is a huge improvement over those establishments that make you pay for the service.

    This business is no longer located on White Street. Best to call ahead to see if they're still in business?

True to its name, the store fosters a warm, inclusive environment where people can gather to create. They stock an impressive range of high-quality fabrics and supplies from famous brands for sewing, knitting, embroidery, and other fiber arts. Beyond just selling materials, their real standout feature is the fully-equipped studio space available for rent in the back. This area contains professional-grade machinery, like industrial sewing and embroidery machines, that most people don't have at home, allowing makers to tackle ambitious projects at very reasonable hourly rates. The staff are exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive, always willing to help beginners or offer advice to seasoned crafters. This community focus extends to their extensive schedule of workshops and classes for all skill levels, which aligns with their mission to be a welcoming space for everyone. Whether you need specific supplies, access to specialized equipment, or friendly guidance to start a new hobby, Gather Here is an invaluable and inspiring resource for the local creative community.

    What a lovely shop with a cheerful and welcoming community. Both crochet and knitting friendly…read more Colorful and sunny, like the owner, this is my new favorite LYS. Handy to coffee shops and parking too!

    Don't go here with kids! I needed some yarn so stopped by with my 4 year old. She was listening…read moreto a book on headphones, standing next to me, and didn't touch anything or even talk. She noticed a bathroom right next to the fingerling yarns I was looking at and said she had to go. It wasn't behind a barrier, I didn't see any obvious signs. She went quickly, even washed her hands and turned out the light as she came out. The saleswoman had, to this point, not even acknowledged my presence or asked if I needed help. But after my daughter came out she said sternly "That is NOT a public bathroom. It's for employees only!!!" I apologized, a bit shocked that a small child using a restroom was that upsetting to her upon which she just looked at me angrily in response. I've had stores go out of their way to help us, walking us back through storerooms to get to an employee bathroom when a small child needs to use it, and this woman was furious that my daughter neatly and politely used a bathroom that was right there next to the yarn. Apparently she doesn't like children. I left and won't be back. Despite the fact that it is far less convenient, I will take my yarn shopping to somewhere that treats me and my family kindly. I certainly am not going to pay for her overpriced yarn while she treats us as if we are there to cause trouble.

    Shopping at this store is a terrible experience. Empty shelves, overworked staff and no price…read morecheckers. Recently at check out my item was $10 more than was listed on the shelf. $35 for a pretty standard 5x7 picture frame. I would have caught that if there was a price checker around. Many items do not have prices at all, and besides going up to the register, there is no way to find out. This isn't a store you can rely on to complete a project as they are often out of stock of just about everything. I don't think they've had white acrylic craft paint in stock for 5 years! Also on my last trip there registers were completely unstaffed. There was one staff memeber in the general area directing people to the self checkout. As another poster mentioned this store is a cell phone signal dead zone. I wonder if that's on purpose. Do not count on being able to access your Michael's account to get any coupons while in the store. Plan on printing them out ahead of time if you'd like to use them. My friend thought I was joking until we went to this store together and I told her "watch, I won't be able to get my coupon". Yup. Why do I keep going back? Well every few months they send me a $5 coupon to spend on anything. So if I have time to kill, I browse the store for a craft kit or something else I can donate to Toys for Tots every Christmas. If I need craft supplies, I'll shop on Amazon like everyone else.

    Absolutely embarrassing. They have four self checkout stations yet no one can do anything…read morethemselves because everything is ringing in incorrectly. They have one single person manning the whole checkout area by themselves and it's taking over 30 minutes to get 3 balloons filled. HORRIBLE experience. WAKE UP MICHAELS.... Bring back regular checkout and get things moving again!! Lines are crazy.
