I shop small businesses when I can, and this one was my best experience. I made a potholder right before my husband passed away (it was his favorite pattern) but I couldn't finish it for the past 3 1/2 years because I couldn't find the thread that I needed. Not only did Lost Arts Fabrics have it, it was very reasonably priced. I have finally finished the potholder and am so very happy. I will be shopping for more.

This is the best wool shop in the region. It was a wide selection of yarns, gorgeous stuff both…read morelocal and imported, lots of amazing stuff. Great classes and it's in a cozy house environment. I know some people have thought the owner was a bit abrupt, but she really isn't. She's German and though her English is fantastic (she's lived in the US for years and years), she sounds very direct and to the point. Don't confuse cultural expression with rudeness. She's kind, incredibly helpful, and this place is a labor of love for her. I travel a lot, including internationally, and I still think this is one of the best local wool shops I go to. I go back every time I'm in town.

Since my first step into this business I have had only fantastic service and advice. I have met many crafters in this store and they all have said wonderful things about the shop and owner.

I recommend this store to everyone wanting a positive experience for knitting, painting, quilting, sewing, or just to hang out with fellow crafters. Everyone is always welcomed and offered help and assistance....which you will NEVER get at a "big store!"
