Oh yarn, looks like this store is one of the best places to buy yarn in Chicago!…read more This shop is right next to Jones College Prep. The entrance is a bit confusing, just use the directory and they will buzz you in! The selection was great- everything from larger brands like Rowan and Cascade, to local hand dyers like Leading Men! I also thought their prices were pretty fair for a local yarn shop (e.g. skein of Rowan Made Alpaca Haze was $10 vs online is ~$8.80). The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. They will point you in the right direction but also let you browse alone (when choosing colors I need full concentration). They also offer a range of classes too! Overall, would definitely recommend this yarn shop!

When you're making pieces that you want to last for many years you look for quality yarn and they have top set yarns, roving materials, looms etc. If you are into the fiber arts you will not be disappointed with this gem!

The selection of locally sourced/dyed yarn was lovely, and she had samples knitted up of different yarns nearby. The colorways were gorgeous! It's a small space but it's well organized by source for the yarn, and the yarn is definitely showcased. There were also notions like cute handmade stitchmarkers and Miss Purl needle sizers. I hadn't known, but apparently Sundays are open knitting days, so there was a group of knitters and crocheters who seemed to be having a real fun time together. I bought a skein of yarn, and they even prepped it into a center pull ball for me, which was a life saver as I don't have a lazy Kate. Will definitely be returning for future projects!

The third ( III) order I placed 03.27.26 this order came April 6TH of 2026 and that was the SAME YARN. I called numerous times and correspondence was on time, but it seems that they all don't know what they are doing. All 4 skeins where different definitely in a different colors, so my opinion is based on facts and experience and I think they just want to sell anything they have, they DO NOT care about the customers and their needs. I ruined my project because of them, wasn't able to do on time and because of the colors I do not know what to do with these 4 different color of balls. I never asked them to wind for me, they did it because that is not that obvious of color difference. I do NOT recommend anyone to buy from this company online, because you never know what and when you are going to get. Very disappointed and sad customer.

This is from 6 months ago but I feel I really need to let people know about this place…read more I had an ok experience in the store, a young lady helped me out with my shopping. BUT why is it when I get to the front counter and hand the lady my cash she seemed to check each bill very thoroughly. I am a person of color and it just seems like she was being extra careful due to my race... I totally understand checking bills for counterfeit ones but if you're going to be that scrutinizing get one of those pens that tells you the money is fake. They don't cost much and it would save time. I will not be patronizing Bourbonnais Michael's anymore, I'll take my business to Hobby Lobby or better yet Amazon.

There was a strong odor of cigarette smoke outside the shop, but thought this could have been from someone smoking outside. Nope. The strong smoke odor permeated throughout the shop.

I'm not even sure if anyone there was working or not. It felt like I had entered a party that I was not invited to. Strange experience. I wanted to support a local business instead of Michaels, but walked out without a purchase. Even as I was exiting there was no greeting of any kind.
