This unassuming shop has been part of the plaza at the northeast corner of Weston Road and Steeles…read moreAve. W. for decades. You can see the store front from the roads if you're looking towards the plaza. The sign is done in a pretty font befitting its name. There's plenty of free parking. The lot is accessible from Steeles. The store looks deceptively small from the outside. It's long, and has a second floor. This specialty shop has just about anything you may require for all your sewing and thread craft needs. Not only will you find supplies, you will be able to avail yourself of the knowledge the owner and staff can share. In fact, they teach their own classes here. When we came in looking for a new pair of scissors, we enjoyed browsing the books, patterns, and accessories as well. We did find that it's a little more expensive for some things than going to the Fabricland up Weston Road, but we enjoyed the better atmosphere and the satisfaction of supporting a local business. If you don't want the sterile shopping experience of a chain like Fabricland, this place is for you. The inspiration and knowledge you will come away with from here instead make it worth repeat returns.

Between the two of us we made 6 sweaters, scarves, socks and a few baby blankets.. More recently, I bought high quality fabric to make a few cushion covers for my sofa. Terrific selection of materials. I also bought pillow forms to replace older ones at home. The forms are overstuffed, making my pillows look fantastic. Pillow forms are in every size you could possibly want.

They'll sell small amounts as little as half a yard. Their silk selection was huge as was the linen. Lots of houndstooth, Prince of Wales checked design, and Tweedy looking fabrics.

The main floor has a knitting lounge that is open for those that want to sit a knit/crochet. There's also a "cafe" to purchase drinks with a small list of coffee and tea. There's another floor in the basement with even more selection of yarn and a bathroom for customers. During my visit on a Saturday, the business was popping! The parking lot is small and narrow. There's a few workers that are on the floor helping with customers. As a noobie, I was walking aimlessly around the store until I gave up and had to ask for help from Christina. She was very helpful, and thoughtful with her answers to my many questions. I appreciated her as she didn't rush when describing the different yarn I could use. I will be back for materials and tips for my next project.

As soon as you enter the store, you're greeted by an employee letting you know that there is a whole other section of the store downstairs. There's a convenient couch section for the family members who don't knit where they can relax. While resting here , an employee offered me tea or coffee while I waited ! It's clear that the employees are all knitters themselves, so they have the domain expertise to help patrons.

THe ladies are quite friendly and there is actually a kitting guild at the same place. but, I never join their Snb, it should be quite good. One thing I don't like is: they have a cat there! It's a bit "smelly" inside the store.. not sure if you can find the hair of the cat, if you are allergic to cat, better don't go! Price is a bit higher than the other local yarn stores, so, I didn't buy much from them, unless I couldn't find such yarn in other stores. They do have a special discount section at the back of the store, it's worth to go and check them out. It's really a good deal! I bought some JOY yarn over there with very good deal! They have lots of magazine back issues, it's great to check them out. However, they don't have many pattern books, and not very updated too. They have lots of buttons selection, so, it's great to buy them at the same time if you are going to knit a cardigan!

This is a small yarn shop specify for Japanese yarn and Patterns…read more The store lady is very nice (and pretty too) and she has lots of Japanese patterns books for you to take a look. If you like any pattern inside, she is willing to make a copy for you (and if you buy her yarn at the same time). I think she is pretty good in crocheting as she stocked up some (VERY FINE) crochet yarn with are very elegant and gorgeous. Although the shop is small, but it's always pretty crowded with knitters there. They sit there, chat, and knit. And the store lady is more than happy to teach how to read Japanese patterns as well. She sometimes have some sales on yarn , and she put them in the bins at the entrance. It's a good place to go, as she has new items for every season. I will say that the price is pretty high for the Japanese yarn, if you compare with the European ones, but, Japanese yarn is not cheap, and with their high quality , I think it worths. *the store moved to another location within the same mall. And the name changed to : The Barn (see attached picture)
