Since we would be in town for a few days, I needed to do a Ravelry search. I came back on Friday before we caught our ferry. I didn't see the navy blue with green colorway. Of course, I didn't remember the name... I came to the register with my second choice. Luckily, I asked if they had any more in a blue/green color combo...Eureka! They had the Spruce colorway in backstock!

Omg, I love this place. It is now one of my favorite yarn shops…read more I do live in Columbus, Ohio, but my family makes the trek to Victoria at least once a year. I was so happy to find this place not too far off from some of the other places we like to visit. Anyway, about three different people in the shop helped me; it was so nice. One lady took me around to all the local dyers, another lady looked up one of my saved Ravelry patterns so we could make sure I was getting the right weight and yardage, and a third man helped me at the checkout and helped me pick out a bag and gave me a full punch card (I spent a lot oops). The LYS is right off a main street, and it takes up the corner of an old building; you can't miss it! (I also love house plants, and our last trip to Victoria I was trying to convince my husband to let me bring a plant home with us. Bringing home yarn is MUCH easier and I got much less pushback from him, haha.)

Knotty has you covered, with the most delightful assortment of felted and knit gifts. Do you like your yarn ready-to-knit, hanging neatly in tempting arrays of color and texture? Knotty is your spot, offering both the basics (the best assortment I've seen of Sugar Bush yarn, among many other brands) and some lovely options for local, handy-dyed yarns in a range of weights. Do you like your yarn not-yet-spun, ready to spin yourself from high-quality roving? This is your happy place, because Knotty has the most astonishing range of roving I've seen anywhere, in a huge range of colors and available pre-cut or by weight (or yard), along with a range of fibers you can add to your spinning. Do you like your yarn not-yet-spun OR carded? Amazingly enough, Knotty has YOU covered too: It's the first place I've seen lovely, soft wool, fresh off the sheep, either dyed or un-dyed. So pretty. So soft. So hardcore, you amazing spinner people. Do you like your yarn still on the sheep? Well, sorry, you're out of luck. As far as I can tell, Knotty does not actually have a sheep available to shave or cuddle.

The selection of gift ideas and greeting cards and jewelry and kitchen gadgets and house accessories is bloody amazing. My friend who lives in Victoria visits this store regularly and when I visit, we come here and literally, we could spend hours here. There's so many unique and curated items, stuff I've not seen elsewhere, and the staff are super nice to boot. I personally love stationery stores, and I can attest, this store has a vast, vast selection of greeting cards - some traditional but many witty and/or twisted (which I appreciate!). There are fancy soaps and lotions, and gourmet chocolates, and jewelry made by local artisans, ands much more. I spent a ton of money on cards here (note: it's always a good sign when you hear people laughing aloud in the card aisles!), and I also got a few chocolate and fruit logs that were packaged to look exactly like salami (I thought these would be awesome on a dessert "charcuterie" board, and as a gift to a foodie friend too). I found colorful silicone twist ties and baggie clips, and some unique gifts for my kids (one who is a falconer and a "birder", the other who's into jewelry) and for some gourmand friends, too. Seriously, you'd be hard-pressed not to find something for everyone on your Christmas list, or as a hostess or birthday gift here. Oh, and their doormats are great, too. My friend found the perfect mat for her new home here.
