You might think you are in the wrong place but please park and walk back to 1408 because it will be worth your while to visit. The staff is very welcoming, knowledgable and very willing to spend time with the clients to make sure they have a great shopping experience. With my wife being a knitter we have visited many knit shops throughout the country and Canada and this shop by far has the most inventory of any shop we have been to. Although some of the products are a bit pricey you are paying for a quality product so it is worth it in the long run. They also offer lessons which we were not able to partake in but i am sure they are very good. Oh and did I mention that they are very friendly and fun to talk with. I f you are a knitter and in the area do yourself a favor and make time for a visit! read more

This was the coolest yarn shop i w ever been to! And I've been to a lot of them. It's in a residential neighborhood behind the main house, in a carriage house. They've got yarn I've never seen before. And the owner was so knowledgeable and nice. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. read more

My Sister Knits - To get to the shop, you'll stroll past the gorgeous yard with the shaded chairs, and past these lovely ladies. This atmosphere is amazing!!! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I was visiting from California and decided I needed to make a sweater for my sister-in-law so we needed to go yarn shopping. Her friend suggested My Sister Knits. I am not exaggerating when I say I shrieked with delight when we walked through the gate to find this wonderland of happiness! First, it's on Mountain Ave - omg I want to live here. Second, the "carriage house" store greeters, 2 tiny dogs, came barreling out to meet us - made my heart squee! Third, this store is utterly charming. Within minutes I knew I wanted to be best friends with these sisters! Julie and Diana are fun and knowlegable and so helpful. The yarn selection is beautiful, eclectic, and varied - not so much as to be overwhelming but extensive enough to satisfy any knitter. I will come back my next visit. Joy, joy, joy! read more

I can't believe after all these years of going here I didn't write a review yet?? Oh wait there it is, I did write one 2 years ago and it is still as great now as it was back then. I continue to *love* this place. They have the latest yarns, patterns and so many beautiful, I mean beautiful, products in general. The gorgeous samples entice you to buy more yarn and the corresponding pattern, to make them for yourself or loved one. I have taken several classes here and all were top notch. The owner and her team are super helpful and extremely kind. The vibe here is fabulous and full of positive energy. They have the best Customer Service and go out of their way to do more than even expected. Very often they have great unexpected sales. Every time I go here I leave feeling so happy. read more

As someone who has been engaged in fiber arts for just a few years, I've found My Sister Knits to be a welcoming community of knitters. I've taken many classes, purchased beautiful yarn, and attend the weekly skill sessions (at no extra charge). The shop is in a tranquil setting - I always feel peaceful and relaxed when I depart. read more

Would give zero stars if possible. The woman who was there when we went in was unwelcoming barely acknowledged us but gave attention to everyone else in the store. We picked a pattern and a yarn she printed the pattern in a funky way that made it hard to read and then offered to twist up the yarn for us and she did a terrible job we had to redo the whole thing when we got home. We tried to ignore this everyone has bad days but then come to find out she didn't sell us the right yarn for the pattern even though she was specifically asked if that yarn worked and she said yes. We are from out of town so we called to try to figure out if we could order some of the right yarn or get any sort of help at all and the lady in the phone had the audacity to say that it's helpful for them to know what pattern we are using when we are selling the yarn to you. LOL ! Honestly so disappointed in the people who run this shop. If you don't care about the way you're treated in an establishment and never need any help this is the place for you. Lot of yarn selection and very clean but run by unhelpful dumb and rude people. read more

Short version: fiber-holics mothership! The experience is addictively positive. The shop is on the prettiest boulevard in Fort Collins. Look to park on the street and walk up the driveway towards the back ofnthe brick house because the shop is in the garage behind the pretty brick house. Look for the low white fence gate decorated with flowers, let yourself in the gate and head up the driveway towards the garage. Say hello to the best behaved and housed backyard hens on the right, and the gaggle of knitters at the garden table to the left, and do not be intimidated by the ancient greeter who barks at everything. He's small and harmless. Enter the remodeled 2 story garage and you're in fiber heaven, with staff who feel more like instant friends than staff that know and love yarn and knitting. They have an amazing selection of yarns! Be prepared to want everything. I've never been in there when they didn't go above my expectations and make my visit pleaseant. I went at Thanksgiving week 2022, they recognized me, despite not seeing me for over 2 years. They asked about my mother, who was the local, and who often brought me with her, over decades of visits, and who bought many projects there to make me. They asked me about her. When I told them she had passed away from covid a year ago, they were genuinely caring and shocked. They helped me pick out what I needed and offered me my mom's credits on top of the existing sale price, and didn't stop there, they trusted me to pay later when my credit cards were all declined. See what I mean? I My Sister Knits! read more

Amazing yarn shop! Has so many wonderful brands, and the owner was so lovely and helpful. I look forward to finding the chance to go again!

Superb selection of yarns. So many samples labeled with the pattern and yarn ; and the pattern is displayed nearby to purchase. Perfect! No confusion or hunting for pattern name, etc. The shop is well organized. I found so many great yarns and patterns. I love indie dyers and this shop had so many. I was immediately greeted upon entering and offered a tour of the shop layout. I was thrilled. Often I am ignored in yarn stores. Not so here. I felt welcomed. The salesperson also helpfully recommended some brew pubs for my husband. Which was just the extra mile for us. You can bet I'll be back when visiting Ft. Collins! read more

My son lived in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2014-2015. I stumbled across My Sister Knits and every visit would go there ( we live on Long Island, New York). Recently I retired, the pandemic hit, my local yarn store closed and I was forced to go into my stash. I had purchased yarn and a pattern at My Sister Knits but never did a gauge swatch. Finally I am ready to start my project and I don't have enough yarn ;( I called the shop and a wonderful woman named Tina answered and volunteered to see if she had any at home since there was none in the store and Shibui had discontinued the yarn. There was and she is sending it. I am still on their email list so I think that I will make it my new "local", (not so local) yarn store. Fort Collins, you don't know how lucky you are!

I absolutely love this shop! If you are looking to learn to knit or just looking for quality supplies to work on your own projects, this shop is the place. The staff is great to answer questions and help you with selections. Julie(the owner) is awesome! I also love that there is a knitting day when you can take your project in and ask questions if you need to or just chat with other people who love to knit and the refreshments are nice too! I also love that the staff are very attentive to some of the special needs patrons, it is heartwarming! read more

I have been a customer for many years. I am always warmly greeted when entering. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Last October I purchased a kit to make a hat. Being a typical knitter, I brought it home and added it to my stash without looking in the bag. The other day I decided I needed a quick, easy project so I grabbed the hat kit. Imagine my surprise when I found I was missing one color of yarn. I drove over to the shop and explained my problem. The lady( sorry I didn't get her name) immediately took care of the problem.we figured out which color was missing and replaced the ball of yarn. No questions, just excellent customer service, and extremely apologetic. These things happen. But the handling of the situation was exemplary. I highly recommend this yarn shop read more

Very helpful in color matching and in helping me find d compatible materials. Great selection of products too.

Great shop worth the trip to ft Collins. Owner and staff friendly and helpful. The yarn selection fantastic . Patterns galore And if they don't have it they will find it For you. I love this shop and it will be a regular stop on my return trips to Denver read more

I just started trying to knit (teaching myself) and had a friend recommend this store. There yarn is exquisite and the time and care the staff take to make sure that you have everything you need is wonderful. They have created a beautifully welcoming place for knitters, and even invited me to come in and sit to knit anytime. They offered assistance to help if I get stuck or make a mistake (as a beginner this happens often), and even pulled up my pattern to make sure that I had all the supplies I needed. Love this shop and it will become my new favorite crafting supply store. read more

Ah, if only I could hang out here and knit more often my life would be even better! It's a lovely knitting environment at a table with happy Knitter's. The yarns and accessories are top quality and classes for the fall begin soon. I stop in every chance I get while in Fort Collins. Upstairs and downstairs great choices are unlimited! Just walking past the chickens and front garden adds value to my knitting life. read more

Great community and vibes. Beautiful garden and store interior. If I lived in Ft Collins I would take up knitting just to spend more time here. read more

This place is wonderful! So cozy and welcoming! Everyone is willing to help and offer advise if wanted or just some quiet time with yarn. One of my favorite stores! read more

My Sister Knits is my favorite local yarn shop. The service is amazing, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the selection of yarn and notions is an absolute dream. My only regret is that I'm not independently wealthy so I can buy everything I want at once. Also, the doggies and the chickens are so fun! read more

I really like the new set-up of this shop. Putting the checkout downstairs makes a lot of sense, and having people on the first floor makes you feel welcome. Before it was kind of odd to walk in with no one around. Tons of yarn, great selection of needles and notions. Not as many books as some other shops. Staff is good, they wind your yarn without seeming put out, they offer info about local fiber events. read more

I love this shop!!! Julie the owner is lovely. Her taste in yarn is exquisite. The location? Nothing short of charming. I've been to ALOT of yarn shops and this is one of my favorites!!! Best shop in Ft. Collins. You must go...through the white Pickett fence...down the winding path...into a delightful world of yarn. read more

Beautiful yarns. Awesome selection. Staff friendly and very helpful. Unique cottage behind main house. Enjoy the chickens!

This is the Tattered Cover of yarn shops: impeccable service, relaxed atmosphere, room to sit and knit, if they don't have it, they will find it for you. Plus, great classes, free "correcting mistakes" class monthly, and a knitting circle on Tuesday nights. Charming venue and staff. These folks are passionate about knitting and want to pass that on to their customers. Did I mention their yarns are fabulous? read more

Love this store. They are friendly and helpful whenever I shop at the store. My first choice when shopping for knitting supplies in the Fort Collins area. read more

Love this shop! I hadn't been in for five years (moved out of state), yet Julie recognized me and remembered what I did professionally! I was amazed! I felt right at home! The only downside to this shop, making a decision! All of the yarn is beautiful! The other woman in the shop was extremely helpful and inviting without being overbearing. Once a decision was finally made, they even offered to wind the yarn! Can't wait to go sit, knit and be inspired! read more

This is what a LYS should look like. Such an adorable shop with very friendly staff.

I just started knitting again after a long break, and wanted to find a local yarn store where I felt comfortable asking questions and learning from experienced people. The second I walked in the door, I knew this would be a place I'd love! The staff is so helpful and answered all of my questions, no matter how novice. read more

Adorable shop! Plus the cute chicken coop (since we have chickens this won me over). They carry lots of luxury yarns and a great selection of books and patterns. read more

Beautiful store with so much lovely yarn to choose from. Staff was friendly and helpful. I am only visiting the area but plan to come back whenever I am near Fort Collins. read more

I a recent visit to a friend in Fort Collins, I had an opportunity to visit My Sister Knits. Visiting local yarn shops on my vacations is an important recreational activity for me and a chance to meet new people, get ideas for my knitting, and perhaps find local yarns. My visit to My Sister Knits was a highlight of my trip. The landscaping is gorgeous, the shop is thoughtfully designed, quiet, and pleasant, and Julie welcomed me as if she already knew me. Her shop is behind her home; at one point during my visit, I asked about a restroom. So she just directed me to her house! This is not a shop where the owner will suspiciously follow you around. It was just the right touch of support. We chatted about our current projects and she gave me several resources for patterns and designers. I found a beautiful sample of a baby dress that Julie had just finished. I purchased the pattern on Ravelry from my phone on the spot and found the perfect yarn for it. I will definitely go back to My Sister Knits the next time I am in Fort Collins. read more

I ADORE this shop! One of my most favorite in the entire state, and we have a lot of yarn shops. Friendly staff, great selection of books and yarn. They carry Madelinetosh, which I love. Worth the drive from Denver. read more

I am a beginner knitter and the highlight of my day was to visit My Sister Knits to get beautiful yarn to start some beginner stitches. If you have not brushed up on knitting terminology expect to be treated with a blank stare. I stated that I was a beginner and hoped to be helped with good customer service, but the service was lacking. I felt that the person helping me was very cold, unwelcoming, unfriendly and very snobby and did not help me with my beginner questions without looking like I was an idiot. She made me feel like I did not belong there. All I wanted was to be treated kindly and warmly. I have never felt so uncomfortable trying to answer questions that I did not know the answer to since I did not know the terms. I wished I would have left and not purchased anything since I do not take kindly to horrible guest service. I was pretty stunned at the time and went along with the purchase. I definitely will never re-visit the store and too bad since it is in my neighborhood. It really ruined my day. I will look elsewhere to buy products. I work in guest service and the bottom line to excellent service is just to be kind and knowledgeable and treat everyone the way you want to be treated. I AM REALLY SORRY I EVER WENT THERE! read more

I love this shop! The owner, Julie, does a really good job stocking the latest yarns and patterns. When she does carry a base, she generally has several colors to choose from. I love the layout and all the options. Everyone that works there is super nice! I would say this is one of the best yarn shops in Colorado!!! read more

The most quaint little knit shop. One of a kind yarns, dreamy ambience, and the most friendly and helpful women running the shop. They are always having classes (some are free!), bringing in renowned knitting teachers, and engaging the community in a special way. Go in to find yarn for a project, get knitting help, or just to hang out with other knitters. Love this place! read more
