Absolutely sensational yarn shop in Charlotte, NC! This was our final stop on our Christmas Eve…read moreyarn crawl and I'm so glad since it felt like a grand finale with how cool the store is! We were greeted by Robin who was so friendly and easy to talk to - you can tell she's super passionate about the work they do at the shop! I love that you can work with them to come up with your own dye color for your yarn and can pick from a variety of wool types! I ended up purchasing 3 skeins of baby camel + silk yarn that wasn't dyed because the natural color was so gorgeous! The skeins they have for sale that are already dyed range from low 20s to low 40s, so it is more artisan pricing. However, I think the value makes sense since the wool quality is top tier and they do in house dying! I can't wait to come back to Charlotte and give them a visit!

I went with my husband on a business trip and got bored in the hotel so took an Uber to this yarn…read moreshop and one of the owners was there and so friendly and walked me through the whole dying process. I was there for several hours! Then she was ordering out for lunch and offered to let me order, too! Brilliant! Then I sat with her and a couple others and knit for a while. You definitely need to visit this one!

Alrighty fibre friends!…read more Let me tell you, how excited I was to find a yarn store in Waxhaw that carried hand spun yarns and more!This fabulous store has something for everyone, from Merino, alpaca, silk selection, Nylon/acrylic blends, cotton and more. The color options? Endless! The quality? Superb! And the environment presented and directed by staff? Outstanding. What I love about this store: you can feel the stories and love that goes into textile here. You can see swatches, see finished projects like cardigans, sweaters, and shawls. You can pick two skeins up and see the difference! And when I say "difference" I mean the color blends. While single colors provide a great unity. The blends have a uniqueness that is just not obtainable from commercial retail. Making any project you create unified or a one of a kind piece. This place feels like a gem. Organized and the variety is huge on all fronts. The yarn here isn't just yarn. It's a story, it's a feeling, emotion, and gives wonder to the eyes. I spent a solid half hour just walking with my jaw open going "wow... Oh wow!" Because of the love and care that goes into these precious goods, and the quality of yarn. Price point is definitely reasonable as suggested. You really cannot put a price on hand spun yarn, but if I had to do so, I would say this place is the fairest I have seen in the Carolina's. If nothing else it is worth a trip just to see the various types. Definitely worth a trip for prospective fiber artists to get an idea of material, culture, and put a feel to the materials many of us learn in college. In addition this store offers yarn from around the world. Peru, and japan to name a couple off the top of my head. Thanks to Debby (apologies for improper spelling) for making my visit feel magical and friendly. I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience today, and I cannot wait to come back soon to further grow my stash aka Hoard of yarns! Overall I would give the following rating: Price: 5/5 Environment: 5/5 Knowledgeable staff: 5/5 Organization: 5/5 Quality of goods: 5/5.

No, the staff is not greeting everyone at the door, but they were helpful when needed and incredibly knowledgeable and courteous.

They moved from their I-85/Lowell location to a smaller building located at the main crossroads in Lowell.

I used to love them, but they have been taken over by AI bots. On Wednesday my yarn was delivered…read morewith an open box, but at least to the correct address, on Thursday they somehow changed my address and it was sent to some random address in another part of town. Try calling the company? AI hangs up on you now. Try leaving a message? Well if you say more than a sentence, AI hangs up on you. Try correcting the now incorrect address? You can't do that. I guess they do well selling at the dollar store. I've written emails, tried leaving phone messages, all I get is robots or hang ups. They are not BBB accredited.

They were quick and the price was very good. The quality of there work was also good.read more

I was a little apprehensive, even though i live and breathe design oriented stores. Just walking in made my adrenaline flow! I saw brands that i know and love and an eclectic bunch of accessories and "chotchkies" that make the store stand out from everyone else! The owners are brilliant with their buying and merchandising expertise and I'm now in love! The store fits in perfectly with the Blakeney vibe and demographic and I hope they grow and prosper for many years to come. What a pleasure it was to see such a beautiful shop and meet and work with some of the friendliest and most welcoming staff. I will be back, for sure!!!!

This is a great little shop with a lot in it for being so small. The prices are pretty good…read moregenerally but some of the items are a little bit overpriced (for example a simple small glass bowl was $3 but a cute little metal with decorations was also $3) I always visit the shop whenever I'm in town because it's just so conveniently close and they usually have one or two things that I like whether it be small knickknacks or useful household items. Today I picked up a brand new dish drying rack for only three dollars! They also give away the occasional bakery item, which I find really nice. Most of them are just past their best by date, but are still good to eat. The young lady at the counter is always very cheerful and nice to talk to. She's been there the last two times I have been and has always been very nice and helpful. Greeting us as soon as we come in. Will be back!
