Wish I knew about this yarn store earlier! Service is great and the staff are super knowledgeable…read moreto help with quick project questions! There's also a nice section of tables and chairs by the window to just sit and do some knitting + socializing with other people working on their WIPs. I called the store in advance to help set aside some yarn (so I could just pay right at the counter) and they were super accommodating since I was looking to get a ton of yarn, too. Overall, the yarns at the store are of great quality and price, and the selection covers nearly all types of yarn for all sorts of projects. I will definitely make this my local yarn stores for my future projects, and they carry one of my favorite yarn brands like Knitting for Olive! Heads up: one of the staff said that they rotate yarn fibers seasonally so you're going to see more selections of wool/heavier yarns in the fall and winter, and lighter yarns like cotton in the spring and summer.

What an awesome local spot! Pick Up Every Stitch became my second home during COVID-19, when I…read moredecided to pick up knitting again. I learned from my mom when I was about 8 years old but got back into it during the pandemic, eventually making a dozen hats, scarves, and even a cute cardigan! Pick Up Every Stitch is perfect for knitters and crocheters of all levels, ages, and abilities. They have all the supplies you could ever dream of, and I love how there are always people in the store working on their projects. The store has created an incredible community of crafty people who share a love for knitting and crocheting, and I have met wonderful people there! They've got plenty of parking in the back and local street parking in the nearby area. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area and looking for a new craft!

It isn't that the store isn't a quality store with a good selection of supplies, given its size. It…read moreis! It's that the owner, Michael, is a judgmental snob. If you don't share his brand of politics and beliefs, he's rude, condescending, and judgmental. The same people who cry about being judged are now the judges. Come on, you know what I am talking about. Also, are you still playing the same Miles Davis tracks on repeat twelve years later? Come on, that's like the anti-hip.

A lovely shop by creatives for creatives…read more Loved this store! It made me want to buy everything because it was all displayed so beautifully. Walking into the store immediately it's clear that the owners are artists themselves with a discerning eye for colors, textures, and design compositions. They sell a variety of art supplies and stationary and also hold art classes. The product displays included not only the products themselves but also samples of art that could be created with them. Mini pages of dabbled watercolors lent an air of inspiration with their translucent ombré tones. Dried flowers and twigs, bright warm-shades of fall leaves brought nature into the store and made prime still life subject matter. You could tell the owners put a lot of creative energy and passion into this space. Though I didn't have much direct interaction with the staff, I overheard them helping other customers and providing recommendations. Definitely recommend stopping by in Cold Spring.

($25) that are Christmas themed (see picture!). Will definitely return any time I go to Beacon!

A must see in Beacon!

So I just had a very interesting experience at Echo. I'm here visiting from the city for my mini…read morevacation and kept hearing rave reviews about this place. The family I'm staying with also suggested I check it out. It's my last day here and I wanted to check it out before I left because I heard they have really cool old school toys (which I collect), cool clothes, and bras in my size! I waited until they were open but no one was there so I decided to walk around and come back a little later. Upon entering I was not greeted. Not a big deal though because I can be pretty shy and wanted to browse around. I soon felt uncomfortable; like I wasn't welcome but I brushed it off. It's a feeling POC unfortunately often feel when they're shopping in unfamiliar areas or shops. I wanted to give the woman at the register the benefit of the doubt. I found a cool harmonica that I wanted to gift my boyfriend but was being indecisive about what else to get I remembered the bras! I went to check them out and then I stumbled upon the sale section and that's when the woman at the register basically ran up on me. She said to let her know if I needed help with anything. It was completely bizarre because it was clear she came over just to see what I was doing. There were a few other people in there and she passed by them and didn't ask them if they needed anything. It was so clear in my mind that she thought I was trying to steal that dumb ass harmonica or anything from that janky store. The bras were overpriced, the clothes were honestly hideous and not for anyone under the age of 40. The toys and books were ok but nothing really jumped out at me. Except this woman. It was a very uncomfortable experience and when I went to pay for the items (yes I got the damn harmonicas) she gave me full on attitude. No smile, very condescending "you're welcome" after I thanked her. Just all around bad attitude as if she was the one being followed. I would beware if you are a POC. I didn't get the woman's name but she was probably a SWF, pudgy and had dark hair.

The place was such a cute place for children however, the prices were a little high. I would recommend but expect to spend a lot of money.

Only store credit- hummm no sign on front door only small sign on counter and one hanging on wall behind counter that on would need a magnifying glass to even see if knew it was there. When busy you don't even make it up to the counter as they hover and take care of u from all sides. My suggestion would be to have a larger sign on front door or have one of your hovering employees who keep offering to take the stuff out of you hands before your really even sure if you like the item tell you about their only store credit policy I would have not bought to begin with my last purchase. Oh and to stay policy is on receipt. Wtf so it's rung up so no return. Interesting I saw on their website they take returns from online purchases?? I feel discriminated against because I came in. Wacky and bad business practice. Where I work we tell everyone about the extra charge if using a credit card before they actually use it and even tho it's a small thing knowing before hand is key. I shop here once a year for someone in particular so no loss. I'll just give my store credit issued card as a gift to someone else and let them know ahead of purchase the shitty return policy.
