The yarns are high quality and reasonably priced for what you're getting. I bought value yarn for a…read moreblanket 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 !!

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.

The one big downside to this gallery was that it was not air-conditioned on a recent warm summer…read moreday when I visited. A friend and I sweated our way through both floors of the gallery because they had some interesting pieces, but it was cooler outside in the breeze. That being said, this gallery has an eclectic selection of paintings, prints and sculptures, including some lifelike and life-size sculptures and more abstract pieces. Some of the "art" was so immersed in pop culture (a painting based on the Family Guy cartoon? Puh-leez...) that I thought it was kind of junky. However, I liked a lot of the paintings and almost all the sculptures, including some great bronze sculptures by Yuroz. The building itself is pretty cool, too. There's a glass atrium at one side where some sculptures are on display, and there's a spiral staircase up to the second floor.
