I'm giving this shop 4 stars because they pack a lot into such a small space! They've got loads of…read moreyarns, and plenty of needles. Everywhere you look, there's tactile experience to be had - LOTS of squishy yarn, some of it very affordable, like $5 or so. There's sewing stuff too, needlepoint, and some items made for demonstration and for sale. Cute Christmas window. The woman who helped me (both times I've been there) is friendly and knowledgeable. She tries hard to please!! I'm so glad there's a local yarn shop!! And now to get knitting :-) !!

I have a friend who swears by this store and is always coming here to get supplies for her knitting. Wool N' Things carries great patterns and I always envy the sweaters that I see in the pictures! I am not a knitter myself, but do come from a family that knits and can appreciate the work that would go into some of these patterns. One thing that I might consider at Wool N' Things is one of their courses! They can teach you how to knit or crochet accessories and clothes in one of their onsite classrooms. You have to buy materials at the store, but they help you select the right wool and teach you how to read the pattern as well. They also have a group the "Knit Cafe" that meets a couple of times a week to work together. A friendly place with service offered in both English and French.

Yarns Ewe'll Love is a fabulous yarn shop that opened September 12, 2018! It is located in the same…read morespot that was previously occupied by Yarn Forward, which closed over the summer (the owners of Yarn Fwd retired, and closed both this shop and the one on Bank St.) Louise, who managed the Kanata shop since its inception 20+ years ago, is the new owner and manager of Yarns Ewe'll Love. It's fresh and clean! I didn't realize the store needed a makeover, but it's really refreshing! It smells good, and looks great! They sell a wide variety of yarns, with more upscale offerings. I purchased a skein of "Eat Your Peas Louise!" just for fun!!! Well done, congratulations, and good luck! Welcome to the block! I'm so glad to still have a yarn shop in Ottawa's true west end!!

Overall, I was disappointed in this shop, because I was looking for yarn. To find the yarn you have…read moreto go upstairs, and you'll find some, in a small room. However, they have a nice variety of ready-made items, and some cute and colourful home decor items. To be fair, they have a farm, and they're busy with that. But this shop is full of items, especially unique pieces of clothing. Mug I go back, it'll be with a better perspective of what they offer. Maybe the clerk was tired? Not very warm and welcoming. There were quite a few patrons in hill I was there. I did manage to find a colourful Hank of sock yarn, so at least I didn't come out empty handed. In the end, I'm not sore it was one of their own products!

Although it was a delightful surprise inside the shop, the only yarn they had inside was already made into something. This shop is sort of boutique style, selling knitted and crocheted items, local photography, and beadwork. A lot of creative energy going on in here! There's even an area we it's pottery for sale, in aid of a local disabled group. Bravo! I'll go back to take a look, as surely the displays change periodically.

This is the new location of Unraveled, which moved to Perth from Merrickville over the Christmas…read moreholidays. Their first day in Perth was Saturday January 10th 2015. They are again located in an historic old building, on the main street of town. It's a smaller store, focusing on yarn and knitting / crochet / spinning supplies, and no longer have the gift shop. Note the new hours: 10:30 to 5:00pm, Tuesday to Saturday. They sell different kinds of yarns here, like Koigu and Madeline Tosh. And there's the added bonus of a road trip! This was great - it took us very little time to zoom through the shop because we knew what we were looking for, and then we relaxed over coffee in the building next door, planning our projects with our new acquisitions. I will definitely be back.

It has changed a lot, although some things have…read morestayed the same: they still sell a variety of different clothes for men and women - tops, bottoms, and footwear (some fabulous sheepskin slippers!) They also sell sheepskin rugs and blankets, good quality leather belts, cowboy hats, and so much more! There's a tackle shop in the back that's even bigger, which caters to horse lovers, offering saddles, bells on a leather strap, and other hardware. It's an interesting array. What has changed is the wool shop; the person running it before dwindled it down in preparation for retiring. However, the public's interest in knitting has not dwindled! Thankfully, someone took over the management of the yarn shop within this store and expanded it greatly.! They now offer a good selection of Briggs & Little wool, a LOT of different sock yarns, roving in different colours, and needles. There might have been some acrylic, and there definitely was some cotton. I've been looking for enough denim blue wool to make a sweater for myself, and have not been able to find enough yarn elsewhere to achieve this. I did find it here (barely, to be honest!) I've got no excuse, now! I must knit!! Lucky for me there's bad weather on the way; plenty of time to get to it. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. The yarn was a good price. And I found a belt that fit! It was a good day. It was worth the drive to Carleton Place!!
