I'm a longtime, but intermittent visitor of Paradise Fibers because I live 5 hours away. I bought my Lendrum spinning wheel there many years ago and it was in need of service. I drove over Fri, May 22nd expecting to drop off my wheel, and then make the trek again in a week or two to pick it back up (1-2 weeks is a customary, and fair, turnaround rate for a wheel servicing). Jaden had me spin a bit so she could assess the issue. Within 15 minutes she talked to me more...it was an easy fix and when she found out how long my drive was, she said she would turn it around that afternoon! I went and gassed up the car, had lunch, then came back and had a repaired wheel and a stack of fiber I also bought (seriously, just the smell of the yarn and wool is enough to fully intoxicate any knitter or spinner!). I was so excited on my drive back home. Jaden is a Wheel Wizard and the incredible kindness of her and all the staff made my 10 hour drive yesterday such a great way to kick off a long weekend! I wish I lived closer to the physical store location, but I will continue to be a big fan of Paradise Fibers. In this workd of increasing automation and bits, it is just so wonderful to interact with a store full of friendly and engaged enthusiasts who just happen to also be employees. read more

My friends and I had an absolutely amazing experience here. We came from western washington to visit a friend who lives in Spokane. Hen we came into the store we were absolutely amazed by the selection of things. One of the owners was coming around giving out fresh scones they just made for free, which were absolutely delicious. We also got a tour of the entire building by said owner, who was absolutely wonderful to talk to. He showed us all sorts of things about the building and answered all of our questions, then he patiently helped us check out as we were giving him lots of stuff to weigh and wrap near closing time. Everything was very reasonably priced as well! Absolutely amazing business that seems to do so much for their community! Absolutely going to visit again. I could not recommend this place enough! read more

Spokane is so lucky to have Paradise Fibers. Wonderfully expansive selection, including a huuuge section of malabrigo. There's a woodshop in the basement where they make their own yarn swifts to sell (I can vouch enthusiastically for their quality) and there's a kitchen upstairs where they occasionally make scones and muffins and things to hand out for free. Just 'cuz they can. I've heard Seattle natives bemoan that they don't have anything half as good as Paradise Fibers. I wouldn't think to go anywhere else in town for anything fiber arts. read more

This store is AMAZING! Everyone is so nice and helpful. Owners Travis and Sarah are very cool. On a Saturday, I was visiting my son at Gonzaga and decided to stop by, hoping I'd find Malabrigo yarn. I hit the jackpot! Not only did they have a gigantic selection of Malabrigo, but they were having a raffle for four kits of Malabrigo! And they had fresh baked sourdough that Travis bakes, homemade cookies and cupcakes. I was able to deliver sweets to the guys waiting for me in our truck which bought me more time at the store. I am contemplating a move to Spokane from Seattle for this yarn shop! And, to top things off, I ended up winning one of the raffle prizes! Hooray! I'll be back! read more

Shipping times on website are utter BS. I've ordered from here three times. Not one single time has my order arrived in the time promised. Not for small things or for large expensive things. Customer service is unreliable. First time was a few years ago, just fiber. Not on time. Small order, not a huge deal. Second time was late last month, a spinning wheel. Ordered on a Friday, website said it would be to me in less than a week. I made plans to take a class with the wheel. It took so long I canceled my class sign up because the wheel did not arrive in a timely fashion. I called and the system hung up on me, called again and when I pressed button for customer service it again hung up on me, I emailed, messaged on IG about it, no response. Third time I called a couple days later, I finally got through. Wheel had to be shipped to them first, then they forwarded it. It got to me two weeks after I ordered it, too late for my class. I open it... and it is the wrong wheel. Manufacturer sent them the wrong thing. They call Kromski. No response. Three days later after the weekend I call and pressure them. They call Kromski. Kromski says I have to send it back, which I do within an hour of receiving the shipping label. Told them I expect the correct wheel sent ASAP. Kromski says they won't send me what I ordered until the one I returned shows up - which could be never, I don't control the post office, and I kept insisting they send me one now, they'd had my money for over two weeks. Only once I threatened to cancel my order and either get the right wheel from a different retailer or a different wheel from a different retailer did Paradise Fibers step in and insist that Kromski promptly send me the right wheel. But they did at least finally step in in my behalf. Eventually. So I just ordered expensive accessories for said wheel last Friday since customer service had eventually done the right thing last time. Website promised delivery by tomorrow (four days after order.) But I got a notice that the most expensive item is again back ordered, due in 7-10 days to PF, and they are holding the entire order on that item, so I won't see any of the stuff I ordered for at least two weeks. In short, their website lies hugely about when you'll get your stuff, and customer service is hit or miss at best. This will probably be a shop of last resort for me from here on out. Their selection is great but I simply can't be sure if they actually have what they say they have, or when it will arrive. It's too bad, as it is in my state and I'd prefer to keep my dollars relatively local. But three times is too many, especially on expensive equipment. read more

Great selections!! Endless isles of different varieties. There is a pungent smell in certain areas within the building, it didn't diminish how much I enjoyed browsing through this place. read more

Went out of their way to get me the yarn I ordered by the date of my class. Sales/customer service from Jediah was superb and personalized

Best yarn selection in the area for sure!! The staff was super helpful and kind as well; definitely recommend

Paradise Fibers really helped me recently. A yarn manufacturer drastically changed the tones on their yarns recently so colors with the same name were actually different colors. I needed an additional skein of a yarn in the "old" tone. I scoured locally in Chicagoland but could not find any of this yarn in the old dye lots. I also checked Ravelry, but all of the stash skeins in the color I needed were not for sale. I contacted Paradise Fibers via email and explained the situation. Sara responded quickly. She did not have the exact dye lot I was using, but she understood my explanation and sent me a photo via text of the yarn she had in that color. The color in the photo looked really close to the yarn I needed. I placed my order via the website. The yarn was well packaged and arrived when expected. Can you spot the original yarn in the photo? The customer service I received from Sara at Paradise Fibers was excellent! THANK YOU, Sara!!!! read more

I always hear men referring to butcher shops as candy stores, but for me and one of my daughters, this is OUR candy store. It's vast inside, with every possible knitting, crocheting, looming product available. They have so much yarn, from the highest quality wools to affordable acrylics. You can get lost in here. I guess they have classes and such, but it's just a bit too far from where I live. That is a pity, but I will certainly be back on shopping days downtown. read more

I have recently begun the journey into fibers and spinning. I just moved to the Spokane area and was told prior to my move to check out paradise fibers. I very quickly decided to do that wanting to see options for fibers and some color ways to do on my drop spindle. For Christ I received a spinning wheel and am very excited to begin that journey. When my daughter in law and I stopped into the store to check it out I was pleasantly surprised with the upstairs fiber room. More fiber then I could have ever imagined. The colors and blends are endless. I didn't want to leave. And I wanted to buy it all. I had to control myself and just take a deep breath and enjoyed the moment. I have stayed away for the time being as I need to plan my next move! Beware...you will LOVE IT! I am currently planning on taking some spinning classes and enjoying my new hobby. (My husband says no to buying a sheep!!!) read more

I bought my first spinning wheel from Paradise Fibers because they had it priced lower than other online shops. It arrived quickly and was great from the beginning. So then I bought some fiber from them.... the 1 lb. cheviot, and that stuff dyes like a dream and spins even better. So went to the store one day when I was visiting my parents in N. Idaho... OMG. The young women working there were delightful and the back room is a fiber paradise. And one woman spent a bunch of time showing me things. Twas first rate fantastic! read more

This place was awesome. The people were really nice and friendly and they have a crazy big selection.

People here are really nice despite the reviews. They have ALL sorts of yarns and fiber. It is indeed a paradise! They have classes too, too bad I came here too late just right before I'm heading back after 3 months visit. 10/10 will come back again someday. read more

Paradise Fibers will reopen for in person shopping on September 17, 2024! Woohoo! They have a great selection back in stock, people. Let's support them during their reopening! read more

Please, read reviews before you shop in this store! So sad...Rude, very unprofessional service! This shop is no longer same as I remember and go down so fast. Packages arrived with missing items. No respond to emails, phone calls to resolve the issue with missing items. Very rude when I finally reach out to someone to resolve the issues. Issue was not resolved. Problem is, who ever mark, highlighted my order items was mark items, and was not placed in my package, but mark as they were there. Person who spoke to me over phone stated someone will reach out to me. No one did. Items is clearly missing from package but the person over phone told me it was issues with UPS and they have to file a clime for this. Package was in good condition, no damage, why file a clime with UPS? I am no longer costumer of this business. They just lost value customer over their rudeness. Lots of other high quality fiber shops around to shop. No big loss to me. read more

Went into buy an E-Spinner about 2 months ago. Looked at some yarn, had a few questions. Explained I wanted to see one to purchase. There were 2 employees at the store at the time. SO RUDE. Was treated like a hobo just because I was wearing my old green barn coat. When I asked if they had one I was told no and they had no idea when they would get one, "maybe March, maybe May," walked to the clearance table and was told "Out." Just. Out. read more

This place is absolutely magnificent! From the moment I walked in, I fell in love!! Truthfully, I have been yarn shopping in NYC, I have been yarn shopping in Seattle, in Portland -- I have never seen a stash quite like this. Just rows and rows and rows and rows of luscious yarn. They also have a HUGE needle section, spinning wheel selection, accessories, bags, swifts, ball winders, whatever you need. While here, I had to exchange a needle set, because someone had purchased the sharps and I prefer the regulars - it was seemless and they were so concerned with my satisfaction. I really could just go on and on and on. Every staff memeber seemed to love their job and want to help you. If you're a yarn lover and within 50-100 miles, this is worth the trip! read more

Great store but the parking lot is covered with trash. First impressions are everything.

Ordered yarn online at an excellent price. It arrived so quickly and they wound the one skein I asked them to--so nice to have a request accurately followed. Beautiful yarn. The brick and mortar store is lovely as well but I can only go when traveling to Spokane. Exc read more

This is one of the greatest yarn shops I've ever been too. The selection is phenomenal, staff very helpful and best of all there was a bin of free patterns that my granddaughter loved finding a new project from. read more

I love the supply store. They have everything from wool, yarn, looms, spinning wheels and even crochet hooks and knitting needles. They have everything at a very reasonable price and I like that. Yes, some is a bit expensive but you can find everything you need right there in their site. I enjoy my fiber of the month kit. This month is game of thrones and I'm excited to see what I got! I love being able to experiment with all sorts of fibers and dying methods and in the end I come out with a truly unique yarn that I made myself! read more

Was really excited to check out this shop. Unfortunately, I was so disappointed! The shop is large and seems to have a good selection. However ... customer service is terrible. I walked in and hesitated, started looking around, then walked around a bit. I feel like I looked like a customer who was new. The woman behind the counter was complaining about a customer and reading an email out loud to someone standing at the counter. I hesitated near the counter and still no greeting or request to help me. So unprofessional. I am visiting from out of state and was hoping to check out a class or an open crafters' meeting and purchasing some scrumptious yarn, but was so put off by the lack of customer service that I won't be back. read more

Rachel I got the number finally weeks later they released my statement today it was 5821 so I wasn't a scammer. i honestly showed you what was in my credit card portal and the transaction which doesn't contain that number. Your idea of not shipping a customers order until they receive a ambiguous number on their statement weeks later is not good customer service. also putting out the amount of my order for people to see is releasing private information on a customer is just wrong. People don't need to know the amount I was spending with you as that's private. You all need to do better. read more

I wish that I lived closer to this fiber Paradise (see what I did there?). I walked in and BAM! my favorite yarn - Malabrigo - was right there to greet me. The stock at this store is huge, which you cannot accurately determine from the outside. The staff was so sweet and even helped me pick the perfect skeins of souvenir yarn; custom-dyed Ancient Arts fiber in the colorway 'Spokane.' I hope to have knit that up in time for my return in October. To be honest, I'll be back even if it isn't finished. ;^) read more

I had high hopes when we went to visit the shop. Sadly disappointed. Absolutely ZERO customer service. I was there meandering every aisle for over half an hr and not one clerk said a word to me - tho there were several people working that day. As I left I waited near the front to see if there'd be any sort of remarks or greeting from the two lounging at the counter or other worker nearby, but nope. Nothing. In addition, the interior rather matches the dreary exterior. Poorly lit and laid out with a maze-like "warehouse" sort of feel, nothing cozy or inviting about it at all. Skip this place! (Instead, I recommend venturing down the road to Couer d'Alene and going to Knit Knit. So glad we were driving that way and saw a sign for them. THAT was the place to find wonderful friendly service in a cute shop!) read more

Don't let the spooky exterior fool you, this place is delightful! It's my absolute favorite yarn shop! I usually order online, but whenever I have the opportunity to pass through Spokane, I always make sure to set aside time to visit here. Even if there's nothing I currently need, I love browsing the yarn and getting pattern ideas. The staff is very laid-back and friendly, which I love. read more

I stopped by here last night to get some yarn wound, that I brought with me from Virginia, knowing that I would have to pay a slight fee and to pick up some new yarn. Can I just say that the 2 ladies who helped me were fantastic! So helpful with the winding, including the one that was a tangled mess, and with showing me where their small batch hand-dyed yarns were. The first was very knowledgeable about their limited edition, yarn of the month club yarns. I will definitely be back before I leave! You can't go wrong shopping here for all your fiber needs! read more

Paradise Fibers - My new yarn! Pavilion (on the right) and carousel (on the left) - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Zero customer service after my order mysteriously took 11 days to arrive after I paid 2-day shipping. No response to emails. No response to phone calls (phone wasn't even answered during day hours). Afraid that the business had secretly closed and took my $100 credit card charge with them, I filed a complaint with PayPal. After PayPal could not rouse them, it went to a claim. And the VERY DAY the claim was filed, they shipped my order, as quietly and weirdly as they had ignored me for the previous week. Also, as reviewer Beth M. noted: "someone" has flagged all the reviews except the 5-star reviews on Trustpilot, the review service that Paradise Fibers uses for their website. Which is super not conspicuous at all. read more

Things at this store have just gotten worse! EVERY staff member that knew anything about yarn or even the way the computer system works has been fired. It shouldn't take 15 minutes to check out a couple items because apparently 2 people need to manually look up every single item. Ugh. I really used to love this store, but I just can't bring myself to go back right now. IF you decide to visit Paradise, don't expect any help or even any one to acknowledge your presence. And make sure you give yourself enough time to get through the checkout process... read more

Unfortunately they have displayed a clear new pattern of bad service. Shipping is unreliable, and don't even bother trying to contact their customer service reps. I had to jump through hoops for weeks trying to be part of their fiber club. Don't waste your time nagging them to take your money. Knitters beware! *They have flagged a huge number of negative reviews on Trustpilot and tried to flag my review as well. They didn't even contact me to ask me to resolve the issue or take down the review... Further indication that they are super shady folks. read more

Basically, yes, I'm a fan, because this store is like a toy store for me. It's filled floor to ceiling with beautiful, beautiful yarns, in gorgeous colors. It has roving, and spinning wheels, and needles and dye and just about everything one could want except. . . Knowledgeable, efficient staff. I was looking for a particularly brand of acid dye; they didn't carry it; but what I was really looking for was the primary colors of any brand of acid dye. Some colors are "mixed" colors (composed of a combination of the dye's primary colors) and some are not mixed (the primaries). One clerk knew what I was talking about and managed to find someone (after maybe 10 min.) who said basically that in the brand that they carried, all colors were "mixed" (this is OK, answered my question). She was away for so long, however, that I spotted another clerk and asked her the same question, but she was quite insistent that any red, yellow, blue colors were the primaries, and annoyed with me when I disagreed. No. Checking out using the Yelp deal--$50 coupon for $75 worth of goods--was also cumbersome, requiring a 5-10 min. wait while the clerk carried my phone (with the deal on it) to someone else to ask what to do. Every staff interaction took inordinately long. However, I left with more gorgeous yarn than I expected to be able to afford and overall had a good experience. I'll definitely be back, but I won't expect a lot of assistance from the staff. BTW, in the past I ordered from them by phone and got the wrong bobbins for my spinning wheel because I didn't know exactly what I needed, and the staff couldn't help, so it appears that the problem is pervasive. read more

I was in search of Brown Sheep Company's Burly Spun yarn in "Orange You Glad," and unfortunately could not find it anywhere within the immediate vicinity. What resulted was a massive web search for this yarn, with little or no success until...like a lifeline from the sea of online yarn retailers I found Paradise Fibers. I am apprehensive of online purchasing, so I decided to call the toll-free number to place my order. I felt ridiculous calling to place such a small order, but the voice on the other end of the line was friendly and helpful. Not only did they have "Orange You Glad" they had it at a discounted price! The purchase went smoothly and a few days later I received my yarn. I opened the bag and immediately got a whiff of patchouli...ahh, memories. This place has great products and great customer service. I am glad to add this to my list of "go-to" places. read more

I've not had the opportunity to visit the shop as I live in Portland, Oregon and own a shop there (Pearl Fiber Arts). However, I was in Spokane this week to be with my sister as she transitioned from this life to the next. I spent most of the week with her at the Hospice House and got a lot of knitting done -- too much done as I ran out of supplies I had brought with me! I didn't want to leave her side to go shopping for myself, so I browsed the website to pick what I wanted and called to see if there was a chance they could process the order and put it in a cab or Uber or something and have it delivered to me. Chris was so very, very kind! He said he was about to leave and would pull my order and bring it to me himself. That is customer service above and beyond the call of duty and I am so grateful. Having knitting to do while I sat vigil with my sister was a true blessing and Chris from Paradise Fibers made it happen. I am beyond grateful and my niece, who is expecting a new baby in August, will be the recipient of a very cute Monkey hat made from the yarn Chris delivered to me. It's a mitzvah! :) read more

I really want to give this place a better rating, because the yarn selection is out of this world. Phenomenal selection of roving! I was in awe of the amount of gorgeous yarn. I love fiber art and want to support a local shop, but the customer service lacks so hard. Hard to get help, or answers. Having a clerk help me was like pulling teeth. No frame looms in stock?? No classes offered?? How does a fiber shop expect to stay in business with no classes offered and terrible customer service? I mean, this is why brick and mortar are closing down. Stubborn, and not giving customers what they want. Teaching people how to weave with yarn would be a smart idea, create more customers in a small niche market. Go to hook and needle instead. Super friendly and helpful, have a kids toy corner so you can shop! Also have consignment looms, and classes. Off Monroe & Maxwell. read more

Came here yesterday to learn how to knit socks. The ladies were so helpful and gave me advice and lead me in the right direction for my project. They even invited me back in if I needed help or just to sit around and knit. Their selection of yarn is fabulous and high quality. The lady even took me downstairs and gave me some discount yarn to practice making my socks with at a discounted price. I love Paradise Fibers! read more

Oh wow, I love this place... I almost have no words. I have ordered yarn, a weaving loom and fiber online from them and have always been satisfied. To visit in person however, was a revelatory experience. A huge, well-lit store, knowledgeable, helpful staff, and an incredible selection of yarn, fiber, books, tools add up to the highlight of my recent trip to Spokane. I went in intending to test-drive a spinning wheel and ended up spending almost an hour with one of the owners giving me my first lesson! Although I did not end up going home with new wheel that day, you can count on my continued patronage especially when it comes time to make that big of a purchase. They've earned a customer for life and I will make it a point to stop in any time I am in Spokane. read more
