Mary Maxim has been a source for knitting supplies for as long as I can remember. The business…read morestarted in 1954, and today there is a large mail order business, as well as the retail store in Paris, Ontario. My wife loves to knit, and we often come here for her yarn, as well as patterns. The staff here is knowledgeable and they have always been there to answer our questions. There are also supplies for other crafts such as beading and sewing. There is a bargain area at the back of the store where we go every visit to take a look for deals. Additonally, there is a tent sale in the summer where there are even more savings!

I've ordered puzzles online from Mary Maxims and happened to be in Paris, On! So off I went to see…read moreit in person. They have many things for crafting. How fun! I found the staff to be older and not friendly at all. Miserable dispositions, except the lady at the cash seemed to be the only friendly one. I wondered around and I found the jigsaw puzzle section! Seems they are almost exclusive to Sunsout. Ok prices. Nothing special. However, it was odd to find KI Puzzles among all the Sunsout, but here's the thing that turned me off.. they sell KI Puzzles for $14.99? The exact same series that are across the street at Dollarama for $4.00! What? Normally KI'S regular pricing is under $10.00, but then they came out with a line for Dollarama for $4.00. Awesome! However, when I saw Mary Maxims selling a $4.00 puzzle for $14.99, I was done in that isle. They have a cool candy section too. Also overpriced. Off I went across the street to Dollarama. Bought 3 puzzles for $4.00 each! Would have been $45.00 plus tax at Mary Maxims. Disappointed in Mary's. They need to reevaluate puzzle prices and hire friendly staff.

Walked in on a Saturday morning probably an hour after opening. They were already pretty busy and…read morehad a big children's party coming. Luckily there was space for myself and 2 gfs. Process is simple. You pick your already made ceramic piece off the shelf and someone sits down with you before you start painting. They explain all the dos and don'ts and show you samples of a good painting job and what happens when you don't later enough paint. Then you go and create your masterpiece! You're free to use whatever brushes you want and all the paint that you need. There also is no time limit of how long you sit and paint. I think my gfs and I took about 2.5 hours? All pieces are priced differently. They're very helpful if you have any questions so don't hesitate to ask! The only thing that my gfs and I didn't realize is that it takes about a week for the pieces to be "glazed". So if you're not from around the area it might be a pain to come back and get it. If you fail to pick up your pieces I believe after 3 months, they donate them. I came back at exactly the 7 day mark and they just finished glazing that morning. Thank god, because I would've been really disappointed if I had gone all that way for nothing. They also have a sign that says no need to call to ask if your piece is ready as it SHOULD be ready within a week.

We were so impressed we bought a year membership so the whole family can participate together. You come in, choose your piece, get a bit of instruction and then you are off to the races. The price includes all supplies needed and the glazing, and as many hours as you need to create your work of art. You can just keep coming back for as many hours as it takes, at NO extra cost, so that you can get it just right!!! Love that! Give it a try - bet you love it like we do!

I considered it a treat going there. Linda is not only amazingly talented she is incredibly helpful. I tell her what I want and she puts the package together without me even having to think. lol. At first I was heartbroken when I learnt she was moving her store to Orangeville but now it is even a bigger treat to go to see her at her store. I am so happy for Linda and her new digs. She still puts everything together for me,knows my taste and lets me know when a yarn she knows I will love comes in. Now my biggest fear is if she ever retires. Anyone who knits or crochets and hasn't been to Linda's is definitely missing out! She has a better stock and is far friendlier than the stores I have checked out in Toronto! DON'T MISS OUT!

Super helpful owner, and friendly. I witnessed her helping a few customers with their patterns and yarn choices. Excellent yarn selection, a good mix of really dependable and affordable yarns (think Estelle) and some really yummy decadent yarns (think Rowan). Also an incredible selection of ChiaoGoo needles (other needles too, but I have been looking to add to my chiaogoo). I am delighted to find a well stocked, well curated store like this one and hope to pop in again when I visit the kid, or when I find myself in downtown Guelph.
