When I needed thread for my outdoor sun umbrella, the staff was able to quickly advise me which…read moretypes of thread would wear well outdoors through rain and sun, and they had a large assortment of colors to find a perfect match. I've never shopped for fabrics there but they seem to have a large supply! Prices seemed good; I paid less than I thought I would have to, given today's inflation of prices everywhere you turn. Their prices seemed fair. Looking forward to going back!

I happened to find this shop on a search for Carpenteria gift shops as something to do on our recent road trip up to Cambria. When I saw that they are part fabric and knitting shop, along with gift shop, and when I saw how cute and colorful it is, along with 5 star reviews, well, I thought, let's see what this is all about. All's I gotta say is that it was everything I had hoped it'd be, and even though I walked out empty-handed (THIS time), I was super impressed with the adorable gift-type items, knick-knacks, and everything in between. The store was beautifully decorated. It was colorful, inviting and enticing, and it had a huuuuuge selection of fabrics and things related to sewing. Now that I'm retired, I have nothing in my way to returning to sewing again. I even still have my Singer sewing machine from when I turned 16. It's now an antique... just like I am. LOL Roxanne's is not that far away, so I can easily make a return trip to buy something... and will !!
