I'm so glad I ran into this precious little gem in the French Quarter! I wanted to get a gift for a friend that knits and I had no clue what type of yard to get her, the ladies here were just so patient and helpful. I showed the pictures of my friends knitting projects and they quickly guided me on what yarn type to get her. Their packaging is just adorable, ready to gift with a colorful bow and their card attached, made this a perfect memorable gift for my friend. I mailed it out to her and she was so stoked!! I wish I caught the ladies names that helped me out , anyhow... this was the best service and such an adorable business. I'm so glad I stopped by!! read more

Always happy to stumble upon a yarn store when on vacation. The best excuse to buy yarn is when it can double as a souvenir LOL. Thought they had a good range of prices/styles/colors and mix of bigger brands/local brands. They also wrap everything in a delightful, present like fashion. read more

I had a lovely conversation with wonderful lady about yarn and life and history, and a pleasant chat with a very helpful gentleman, and left with beautiful high quality yarns, yak and alpaca and silk. What a gem! read more

I stumbled onto this yarn shop while exploring Jackson Square. I love that they focus on local dyers at the front of the store and that they have a wide variety of yarns in different weights. While there was kind of a lot going on with both cross stitch and yarn being displayed, overall I found the place charming. read more

The Quarter Stitch - Glorious yarn - Knitting Supplies Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I absolutely love this Needle Point store. They have an eclectic array of wonderful canvases, including animals, Christmas stockings, traditional, New Orleans, art, and more. I purchased two canvases that came with the traditional wool yarn. I'm absolutely thrilled with both of them. I love the people who work here they're so friendly and helpful whenever I'm in New Orleans. I always try to stop in this wonderful Needle Point store. They also have knitting supplies as well. read more

The staff were more interested in eating their snacks then in helping me and they were very expensive.

Great looking store, organized, local artists' patterns and textiles, but awful service. My partner and I visited to have a look around. The French Quarter seems an unusual place for a needlepoint and yarn store, but was were amazed by the unique kits that adorned the walls. Sore really fantastic stuff. We were less impressed by the complete and total ignoring of our presence as human beings even when we were the only other people in the store. My partner knots, crochets, and does some needlework, but after both folks behind the counter turned their backs on us, we headed out. They had been chatty with the group of older women who just left. Unfortunate. read more

The way I feel about art stores is the same way I feel about stores overflowing with whimsical needlepoint canvases, colorful threads, and the sort of people who gravitate to this stuff. That is: they put me in my happy place. I'm not the fastest needleworker out there and going into a shop like The Quarter Stitch forces me to exercise restraint. I can look around my home and find two needlepoint canvasses in progress and one completed but not yet blocked. So, as the enablers encouraged me to get a canvas here "as a souvenir of our vacation" the realist in me asked about their web site and took a bunch of photos. The Quarter Stitch has some really great, vibrant canvasses, ones I've not seen elsewhere. Staff explained that their web site isn't all that but that they're very good at picking out something you'll like, just call them and talk about what you like or share photos and they'll enable you quite successfully. The store also features, equally, the stuff that knitters and crochet-people need. Whether or not you do needlepoint, if you walk into The Quarter Stitch during your time in NOLA you might just find yourself picking up a new hobby. If that's already a hobby? Don't miss this fun and inspiring shop. read more

Charming yarn shop just feet from Jackson Square. Inveterate crocheters and knitters from out of town and around the world should stop, buy something. Later you can say to your friends, with a snobby air, "oh yes, I found this off Jackson Square, or was it Paris, at Place des Voges? Heavens, I don't remember." read more

Do drop in when in French Quarter. A local tradition for generations. Visited NOLA for wedding and stopped in twice in 3 days

I was really glad to see there was a yarn shop in the French Quarter, so we made it a point to stop by while we were near Jackson Square. This is a great yarn shop! I like to try to grab a skein or two of local yarn when we travel and this was the perfect place to find a high quality "souvenir" to take home from NOLA. The shop owner was very friendly and helpful and I found her to be extremely knowledgeable about the yarns. I didn't purchase any patterns, but her needlepoint/cross stich patterns were lovely, too. I will definitely pop back in to grab some additional yarn the next time I'm in town. read more

They were so nice! I honestly could have stayed and talked with them forever. I love the knitting community

This is the most charming stitchery shop in New Orleans. I had 4 hours in town and made a deliberate stop to check it out. I walked out with 3 skeins of local yarn, circular needles and a needlepoint project. The staff was wonderful and knew their goods. I would make a point to come back here specifically to shop again. And they will ship also. read more

Really loved loved loved the yarn they have here. So many beautiful options! They even had special dyed yarn available just through them for their 50th anniversary yarn club (they partnered with Dragonfly yarns) and also for jazz fest going on now (Dream in Color Swooshy: Mango). I actually ran out of my Cascade Heritage prints yarn and really wanted to finish the socks I was knitting, so I walked 4 miles (round trip) to visit them the first day, and then ventured out again (4 miles round trip walk again) to buy a couple of skeins the second day. Doing 2 socks at a time I needed my skeins split into two, and I was so surprised they didn't have a scale by their winder to ensure the 2 halves were equal. They had a scale towards the front of the store but they said they wouldn't move it to the back where the winder was. Oh well, she did a great job eyeballing the first skein but the second one was quite a bit off. I am sure it will be fine, it is just odd they don't have the scale by the winder. Guess not many folks ask to get the skein wound into 2 balls in NOLA :). I still may join the yarn club since the colors were so NOLA! :). I will wait to see what the 3rd (out of 4) skein will end up looking like. Definitely a small store with lots of yarn. Not any group space to hang out there but they did have one comfy chair :). But I found it was definitely worth the walk for me. Just thinking about the store brings a smile to my face. read more

A charming store in the French Quarter! Apparently this yarn store has been around for 54 years which is impressive considering yarn stores come and go! It's been owned and run by the same family for a few generations now. This is a place that deserves our support! They do carry some local dyers and a good selection of high end yarns like Madeline Tosh and Malabrigo. Found some beautiful Italian mohair and cashmere! Do you like Loopy Mango and super bulky yarns with spunky colors - come here! I don't do needlepoint, but I finally considered it after visiting this shop. They have a lot of beautiful needlepoint patterns/templates, some locally inspired patterns/templates, and a whole wall of needlepointing yarn in every color you could want. And the little ornaments and knitting/stitching notions are just fun! The ladies at the register were helpful. Really appreciated the thought and care that went into packing up my purchases. Shows that this place cares about what they do and their customers. If you are a crafter/maker, definitely stop by for a visit! read more

I often look up needlepoint stores when i travel. I rarely buy anything. But I did here! They had unique canvases I haven't seen before. The prices were actually better than at home.

Lovely yarn and tons of creative embroidery. Helpful staff. Indie vibe. A few tools that are unique- scored a wonderful needle holder key chain carved from wood. Keeps me coming back each time I visit NOLA read more

Fun yarn shop in the quarter. Lots of prism yarn. Very friendly and helpful staff. They offer Mardi Gras colored yarn in both fingering and worsted weights. Also many team colored yarn pairings for the Saints, LSU and Tulane. They also featured a yarn in a colorway hand dyed for this shop. It's a small shop but packed full of fun and decorative yarns with sparkles and ribbons galore. A fine shop! read more

I came in during a weekend, so there was a little bit of foot traffic, which may have made my experience a little less than where it should have been. BUT I loved this place, they had a kitten and yarn and paper and all the nice stuff. I really came in for some floss (which I got - great selection) and was hoping to grab a cross stitch kit of NOLA, but unfortunately a customer came over and started browsing right beside me and I am a stickler for the 6ft rule so I walked away. A bit bummed about that, but not the business's fault. They did have a wide selection of cross stitch kits from what I saw. Really neat place to come and browse and check out. read more

Yes, it's pricey, but then this isn't your Red Heart Super Saver yarn either. This is the good stuff that you occasionally indulge in when you're looking for a little something special. They use their space well--it doesn't feel crowded--and I really like how they organize by colorway. If you need needles, ask; they keep them in the back closet and will get you whatever you need. The people here are incredibly nice and they wrapped my book, needles and skeins of yarn like a gift--brightly colored tissue paper, pretty handmade business card, ribbon. Sure, it was a little over the top, but it was my day off and after a few days of doing the customer service thing, it was really nice to have someone do the same for me! The woman at the counter gave me some great tips on alternate methods of sock making, and it was nice to hear about different techniques. The pair of socks I started is coming along nicely, and I'm still loving the yarn. And I'll think of New Orleans every time I put them on! read more

I always like to visit yarn shops when on vacation. So I'm happy I looked on yelp site and found this delightful yarn/needlepoint shop close to Jackson square on Chartres St. They have an excellent selection and I'm pleased with the Noro varigated yarn I purchased and they were kind enough to wind it for me. It was wrapped beautifully as well with colorful ribbon on the bag. A lovely gift for me!!!Check this shop out if here in New Orleans. U will be happy u did. read more

My friends and I had such a lovely visit with the ladies at The Quarter Stitch. I'm a bit of a fairweather cross-stitcher--my attention to fiberwork wanes and waxes. However, stumbling across this shop during my recent trip to NOLA brought my needlework needs back full throttle. This shop is colorful and bright, with many different blends of fibers to pet and choose from. They also had an awesome amount of cross-stitch and needlework patterns. Whereas in most shops, I get bored with the dearth of selection, I couldn't believe how many options there were to choose from. When I finally picked just the right one, we had a fun time picking out the perfect colors for my project. Needlework can be an expensive hobby, but it was certainly worth it in a shop like this. read more

I came with a budget and thankfully I didn't break the account, lol. In saying that the yarn variety was limited and I was expecting a little bit more but the yarn they had was those that I've used or bought so I was still in good company. I manage to walk there from the hotel (plus) and got there in time before they closed and stayed a little longer but was told not to rush (which is the one phrase that would get me to think about what I want). The next time I'm in NOLA I'll be by read more

Ugh, I love the Quarter Stitch. Maybe too much. One of the things I lamented about moving to New Orleans from Chicago a few years ago was having to leave all of my favorite LYS (Local Yarn Stores, for those in the knitting know) behind. To my surprise and ecstatic excitement, the Quarter Stitch They have an excellent selection of yarn and needles, they're more than willing and happy to order anything you'd like that they don't have in stock. The ladies who run the place are knowledgeable and friendly, and will spend as much time as you'd like talking shop about yarn/needles/patterns/the craft in general. I've spent so, so, so many of my dollars and hours at this place and it never feels like a waste. All of the major yarn brands and types of fiber are well represented here, as well as yarn in every size - from laceweight for your lovely delicate heirloom shawls to worsteds for your practical hats/scarves/cardigans to chunky weight yarns for those quick instant gratification projects. I just wish they weren't located right in the heart of the Quarter. Finding a place to park is always a nightmare and their hours aren't conducive to my visiting at any other time than during the weekend so I'm not there as often as I'd like to be. Which is maybe a good thing? If they were any easier to get to I have a feeling I'd be living there. Oh, and they also have a great selection of needlepoint designs and supplies, as well. A lot of the designs are originals and one of a kind pieces which is cool! read more

The Quarter Stitch is an urban yarn store. That means it is in a city, where rent is expensive and space is at a premium. So yes, sometimes things are stacked everywhere for hapless patrons to knock over. And sometimes, the store can't stock everything we want, children. As an urban yarn store veteran (shout-out to Rosie's Yarn Cellar and Loop in Philly!), I would give the Quarter Stitch two thumbs up for managing their space. They have really deep stock for such a small store, and I'm always impressed with the cross-section of yarns they bring in. The prices, for your standard urban yarn store, are about average. (Dear yarnies from out-of-town: Everything in New Orleans is expensive. Even the yarn.) I don't feel like I'm paying through the teeth, and I typically get what I want for the project I came in to enhance. I know jack-if-all about the needlepoint stuff, but apparently it's quite good. The wife falls over drooling with dinner-plate eyes every time we come here because it is a visual treat. There are tin things hanging from the ceiling, ribbons and bows all around, needlepoints and yarn and fiber and colors just exploding. Basically, New Orleans in yarn store form. Hot damn. Accessibility notes: Store is up one step, and the doorway is narrow. Very little space for mobility devices to maneuver. No braille signage. The store is small so it can get loud if it's crowded. Staff are very helpful for patrons needing assistance. read more

Today I realized I'm a yarn snob. The usual place I go to for yarn was closed. I schlepped over to Michael's and looking over what passes for yarn there made me depressed.. I really needed a yarn fix that didn't involve 100% acrylic (ha!) Then I remembered: The Quarter Stitch! I hadn't been there in about two years (parking in the Quarter is the worst, etc) but I walked in and was greeted with fabulous yarn and smiles all around. I explained to the ladies there what I was trying to achieve and the type of yarn I was looking for and they were soooo helpful! They didn't even seem to mind when I, obviously not a seasoned knitter, asked a lot of questions. I've noticed other reviews saying how expensive the yarn is here and it is pretty pricey but 1) It *is* in the French Quarter so expect higher prices and 2) Its worth it, especially if you are making a gift or smaller piece. Lets face it, do we really want to give someone a knit piece made of Red Heart super savor?? I may have to give up the other place I've been frequenting and stick to the Quarter Stitch from now on. read more

I received yarn from this store via another online site. Coincidentally we were planning a trip to New Orleans. I got to go to the store 5/22/18. What a treat. The store is located in the French Quarter's. So cool. I bought several yarns and am so thrilled! The store is fabulous. Well worth the stop is you are here and have a love for yarns and needle work. read more

The Quarter Stitch - Knitting Supplies Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The Quarter Stitch is a charming, little yarn and needlepoint shop in the French Quarter. As a knitter, the selection of yarn was decent. A nice mix of different weights, varieties, and hand-dyed yarns. I've seen larger selections at other yarn shops, but given The Quarter Stitch's size, I can understand that they can't have the a largest of inventories. As for the needlepoint stuff, I couldn't say whether it was good or bad, as that is one craft I have yet to pursue. I do like how they package up your yarn purchase though. They put it in a nice clear plastic bag, with tissue paper and maybe some tissue confetti. Then the bag is tied off with some curled ribbon. Some may say this is unnecessary, but it is a nice touch. My biggest gripe would be how the yarn is organized. They tend to organize by color. That's find and dandy if you need a certain color. But I prefer to have yarns organized by type or brand. It's much easier trying to find yarns that go together that way. read more

Beautiful store. Lovely, wonderfully edited selection of yarn. I bought two skeins of Mango Moon recycled sari silk, and there were many other exquisite choices. Lots of colorful and sparkly stuff, but some solid basics too. They also had a brilliant selection of cross-stitch patterns/kits. It made me want to cross-stitch! I've never seen such gorgeous stuff. I also bought some handmade glass buttons--they had a small but unusual and pretty selection. Great staff. Great store. If you love yarn, you'll love this store. read more

***No Problem*** Three months later and I still think of this store so fondly.... if only you were closer to me! I happened to pop in on a hot day in June, just winding down from a conference. This is an adorable little knitting boutique that has very knowledgeable, *unpretentious* staff working there. I highlight "unpretentious" because I find most knitting boutique stores in Vancouver are not very friendly to new knitters. These ladies helped me right away. I told them I was new, and that I wanted to knit a baby blanket, and they even had the book with the pattern I wanted to use. I told them that I didn't want to use the expensive yarn suggested in the book, and that I wanted it to be soft, but washable. This was absolutely no problem for the sales lady helping me. And she helped me with a smile on her face, not wincing that I didn't buy a higher quality peruvian alpaca wool yarn or something like it. She found me a nice, soft nylon acrylic blend that she said would be durable without getting to many pils after washing. I told her I wanted to use 2 colours and make a striped pattern--no problem! She even showed me (read: demonstrated) how I could do this the easiest way! I couldn't be more grateful that I stepped inside this store! I would love to go back to NOLA just for this store! Thank you, thank you, thank you Quarter Stitch!! read more

A little pricey but that's what you get for beautifully hand crafted yarns and wonderful customer service. I love knitting and I am always looking for unique hand crafted yarns that are one of a kind. This place definitely offers just that. The ladies that work here are extremely nice and are willing to help with whatever you need whether it be on the spot knitting lessons or rolling your newly purchased yarn. When I purchased my yarn it was wrapped beautifully in tissue paper and ribbon making it look as if I purchased a Christmas gift of my own. This is the best yarn store in New Orleans no doubt and it will be a must every time I visit. So for all you crafty men and women out there who are planning to visit this place is a must! read more
