Phebie's yarn shop is a true blessing to the community. My 8-year old has been asking to learn knitting but most classes cater to teenagers or adults, luckily Yelp directed me to Phebie's shop. We were invited to take a trial class today, it turned out marvelously as my little one was able to get individual attention and step-by-step guidance from Phebie. She can't stop talking about what she learnt on the ride home and of course she can't wait to come back. Phebie is a natural teacher in sharing her love for knitting. The shop is a beautiful space showcasing rare talents for an art form that is sadly often overlooked by mass produced quick fashion of the season. The yard shop is within the Claremont packing house, acai bowls, coffee, lunch, bookstore are all within the building with free parking next door to boot, it is a great place to spend a day. read more

Phoebe has always been helpful with finding the right yarn for my knitting project. I like the variety of yarns she carries

Cute little shop. Found stuff here that you just can't get at a Michael's or Joanns. The lady was very nice and helpful. A good place to check out. read more

I visited Phebie's looking for a specific brand of yarn. She did not carry it, but had many beautiful yarns. The lady who helped me answered some questions I have about crocheting a granny square blanket. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. I will probably visit this shop again. P.S. Beautiful shop and in the back were some ladies crocheting. I read that this shop helps with your projects, something I might try since I am a newbie. read more

I went into this yarn shop and found some pretty nice yarn , and Phoebe was very friendly, kind, and so helpful with my many yarn purchase. I definitely will go back to add to my yarn stash. read more

A delightful yarn shop located on the second floor of the Packing House in Claremont. I've been coming to Phebie's for about five years and couldn't be happier. Her selection is great, and she will custom order if you want a different color or need more than is in stock. She also has a nice selection of vintage buttons and beads to finish your projects. She's a great teacher - very patient and gives easy to understand and apply instruction. She offers classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and by appointment for more elaborate projects - I've taken advantage of both options and been very pleased with both my finished projects and the skills mastered. Best part? Being located in the Packing House you can treat yourself to a fabulous lunch or ice cream or glass of wine as a reward! There are several great restaurants in the building! read more

I Like This Little Yarn Shop Because It has A Nice Selection Of Yarn And Phebie Is Awesome!!! (I Recently Decided To Re-Learn Crocheting And Knitting.) It Also Helps That this Is A Local Shop With A Good Selection. No More Having To Drive To Burbank Just For One Thing When I Can Shop Locally!!! Phebie Is A Very Nice Lady That Is Willing To Help You Find What You Need And Is Very Knowledgeable In Knitting And Crocheting. Phebie Also Teaches Classes In Her Shop, For Both Adults And Children. The Classes Are Reasonably Priced. Phebie Is Very Patient And Takes The Time To Explain Things To You And Demonstrate How To Do Things. She Also Carries Beads, Crochet Hooks, Knitting Needles And Other Notions You May Need For Your Projects. She Carries Unique And One Of A Kind Items You Couldn't Find In The Bigger Chain Stores. For A Local Shop This Is The Ideal Place To Go For Its Selection And Phebie's Helpfulness. read more

See all

I came across Phebie's Needle Art while searching for a local place to learn to knit or crochet. What an awesome find! When I walked in, I was greeted by Phebie herself; she was extremely helpful in educating me on the difference between knitting and crocheting. She recommended knitting needles and yarn that would be best for a beginner and told me about the classes they offer. I've been going to the classes for a few weeks and have already learned so much. Having Phebie there to teach me the proper techniques and provide guidance is wonderful. The small weekly group I'm in is wonderful, many of the ladies have been knitting for years and are also willing to assist the newbies like me. If you're new to needle art, I highly recommend Phebie's for your supplies and classes - there's something about hands on that youtube can't replace. If you're looking for needle art supplies or guidance, I also highly recommend Phebie's. Phebie is genuinely interested in helping her customers with their projects, she is knowledgeable, patient, funny and generous with her time. I'm so glad I found Phebie's. I'm a customer for life! read more

She's amazing! A jewel to the Claremont Community. Met her at a presentation about the needlework that will be exhibited at the Petterson Museum at Pilgrim Place soon. read more

Phebie's NeedleArt Shop is Amazing! I discovered this shop in the Claremont Packing District and was so delighted to walk in and be greeted so kindly. Phebie helped me rediscover Crocheting, teaching me different stitches and encouraged me to learn more. Phebie's Shop is stocked full of gorgeous Yarns,Threads, Beads and other Accessories to inspire you for your projects, as well as offering classes in Knitting, Crochet, Weaving, and Brazilian Embroidery Classes. Truly a Gem of a Yarn Store! read more

What a cute store! Made it here for Yarn Crawl and I really liked the wide selection of yarns. They have a wide selection of wool alternatives for knitting which is very cool. In a cool location, I think this is a great store. read more

Very sweet woman who helped me get my project back on track! She was very patient and kind with me. Store was full of great items and selection. Call to make an appointment! read more

Phebies shop is fantastic! Everytime I go in there is something new. Classes are engaging and fun. Phebie is such a positive and instructive teacher. Best advice I have is if you want to learn to crochet or knit don't try to learn off the internet, learn from a master and that's phebie! read more

Showed up there today (Thursday, August 28, 2014) around 3 to find out they're closed, while Yelp told me they were open. Very disappointing. However, from what I could see through the windows, really cute shop with quite a variety. I'll try again another time, but since I wasn't able to actually browse, I can only give them 2 stars for now for not updating their summer hours on Yelp. A simple photo of the hours would have been enough.. I posted their current hours myself. read more

Phebie's Needle Art Corner - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Claremont, California

Phebie is a character--she has definite Opinions(!) about anyone knitting with cheaper yarn, but as a beginner, I'm just not willing to spend a ton on yarn until my skills improve. Phebie does offer classes which work out to be $10/hour, or $20/class, which focus on the skills in knitting or crochet that you'd like to build. Overall, I think her prices are fair, the yarn selection is good, and she's a hoot. Check it out! read more

I have been to this location, bought yarn and even rec. help from the owner when i have needed help with a project. Never has she charged me, so when I went back to purchase yarn and ask for help she then informed me she would be charging me $10.00 for 15min . I was very disappointed and angry and myself for paying those ten dollars I felt I had been taken for an idiot . When in the past I have taken classes and it has rained and nobody had called me to cancel class and here I am driving an half hr away, I still came back and gave her my business. I have since looked into Redlands Yarn company they don't charge for help and Colors a couple blocks away they don't charge either, I know every store is different, and they all operate different, but your customers is also what keeps you going as a business. read more

Come knit and weave today! Great company, as always! There is always help here, no matter what your project. read more

Phebie's Needle Art Corner - Come knit and weave today! Great company, as always! - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Claremont, California

Shop is small and quaint, and selection is not very wide. Phebie seems more interested in the sale than in the customer or their project. Does not recommend or discuss qualities of yarn to be purchased. Bead selection is better than yarn selection. read more

I like paying a visit to Phebie's Needle Art shop which is located uniquely upstairs in the historical Packing House of Claremont, an excellent location. The shop is very small and has lots of character. I love the old time kitchen table right there in the front of the store. It makes it so homey and cozy. The front part of the store is the yarn shop, and the beads are in the back. They are well stocked and offer inexpensive classes for knitting and beading. Phebie is normally working there and she is a real sweetheart. She is very informative and is always willing to answer any question and gives excellent tips. Every time I have been there she has offered to roll up the back curtains to let the sunshine in so I can see the color of the beads. That's attentive customer service! If you need something unique and different, this is the place to come. I haven't been disappointed. There wasn't much new inventory stocked since last time I went, except for just one item. However, I didn't mind because I liked what I bought so much last visit, I was willing to buy the exact beads all over again for a second time, and I bought that one new item too. Phebie also has a good selection of quality Swarovski crystals for a fraction of the price I've seen elsewhere. The only downside to the shopping experience is the lack of room in the place and more often than not, it's a little hot and stuffy in there. I'd like to spend more time but I usually cut my shopping short for this reason. Support the small shops and pay Phebie a visit! read more

I came here once and was really put off. I was really disappointed by their stock and service. Also their hours are a bit off from what is listed on yelp and I have gone only to find they're closed when it says they're supposed to be open. I definitely expect more from somewhere in such a nice location. read more

What a selection! Love that Phebie offers knitting instruction to beginning little hands. My daughter LOVES to learn with her!

Fabulous selection of yarn, beads, and much more. Phebie is a very sweet kind fun person too! I love this little shop. :)

I went to phebies after searching other yarn stores looking for novelty yarns with no luck at all! I hit the jack pot at phebies, so many awesome unique yarns, purse handles, buttons, wool yarns! I was in heaven! Best part... Phebies help me pick out yarns to match what I brought in to match! She has a great eye for the colors! I can't wait to start up my project! I definitely will be back! I highly recommend phebies! read more

Phoebe, please work with Yelp to correct your (Yelp) hours. I didn't confirm thru your website and was very disappointed to arrive on Monday at 11:30 and find that you were closed! read more

The owner Phebie is a joy and I love to visit whenever I can. Lots of magazines and a vast collection of embroidery threads including for brazilian embroidery which Phebie is an expert as... one of her many skills. I found this place through my weaving instructor Jennifer! Look forward to going each week for class. read more

First impressions mean a great deal. I went in at noon on a Saturday. I wasn't greeted with a "Hello" or "How are you doing?". Instead, my ears were met with, "We're closed!!!" How are you going to be closed on a Saturday at noon and have your door unlocked? It was rude and I won't be back. I'll find a different yarn store for my crochet needs. read more

I had high expectations for this yarn store, but was extremely disappointed with their customer service, I am not who checked my yarn out but she should her communication with customers. With internet and online selling, I am always keen on supporting local yarn stores, but I would rather buy online than having this type of service. read more

I love Phebies. I can always find wonderful yarn and get good advice. I take lessons and enjoy talking to other knitters. I also really like the location in the cannery. read more
