But when you see the wood carved Countrywool sign, you know you're doing okay! The store was so homey and pleasant and I have to say the owner was probably one of the most friendly people I have ever met. Not only did she take the time to talk me through any questions I had, she also entertained my 30 year old boyfriend by showing him how a yarn swift works. Come on...that's adorable and you know it. She has amazing kits and lots of fairisle patterns and designs, so definitely check this place out if you're looking for a cozy, warm knitting store with the items to match.

There were so many great colors to choose from! I had to make a quick decision because I was short on time. The woman who helped me was so gracious to wind the yard right away and check me out. Two days later I went in again and the back part of the store was abuzz with everyone knitting and laughing together. What a delightful place! This made my experience in upstate New York that much richer. Thank you for the great yarn selection, reasonable prices and warm ambiance.

Plus, her trusty Singer workhorse sewing machine always delivers. When Joann's in Kingston, NY shut down, two of the longtime employees put their heads and hearts together and opened Frugal Fabrics on Ulster Avenue. This isn't your typical fabric store- big box or otherwise. What sets Frugal apart is that these ladies accept some fabrics as donations and sell. But don't mistake that for low quality. The fabric selection here is impressive AND affordable. While my home leans neutral with rustic woods, concrete and stone, I love to funktify it with pops of color. I don't sew, but I do love beautiful fabric and walking into Frugal F. felt like heaven. The colors, the heft, the textures- especially the pieces I picked up, were delicious. It's a hidden gem for crafters and quilters- neither of which I am, but I'm so glad I came here- plus these ladies know their stuff. By the way, they offer a point system and get 'oink' ;-) points based on how many yards of fabric were purchased.
