The variety of samples, in terms of skill levels and different projects, are amazing and the yarn is right near the sample. But most of all I love that the knitting circle area is right up front and all are truly welcome. I have finished every project that I have purchased from baa baa sheep and loved it, which is way more than I can say for any other yarn shop.

Recently, I ordered framing for some family photos I had done. The framing department was so…read morehelpful! The lady at the counter. She helped me pick the best frame colors for each photo we had. They were having a mega framing sale, so I jumped on it! The project took 2-weeks to complete and when I got the pieces back, I was beyond thrilled! This store is always so helpful and organized. It's the closest thing to a party store in town also. I love when they have sales on their seasonal items.

This is the (current) manager. This is the product I was in search of (snow-tex). When asked…read morewhere it was (because it wasn't in aisle 81 as the website states), he decided to be confrontational with a *very* snarky "sir, I'm trying to help you", **AFTER** he stated they didn't have any if it wasn't in that aisle. The website shows 15 in stock. That aisle has been partitioned for Christmas ware so it was moved to make room for seasonal items. It was indeed moved. I found the item, all 15 of them, doing his job for him. 1). Do not become confrontational with a customer. 2). Let a customer finish speaking. 3). Don't be snarky with a customer. 4). Do your j-o-b. It's simple, especially when there less people in your store than bottles of snow-Tex on a shelf IN AISLE FIFTY SEVEN. Maybe he'll know where when if he bothers to read Yelp reviews about his own store to help improve customer service. Not my job to tell him. And 5). ? Some advice: You're there to help the customer. We make YOUR job happen. Retail isn't for everyone, but there are jobs where you can be far in the back of a warehouse and don't have to deal with the public. Just a thought.

When it comes to yarn in Richmond proper, this is definitely a place where you'll find a wide…read moreselection of prices, brands, colors, and textures. Considering that there are only two other yarn stores in the greater Richmond area, it's nice to know that there's something for everyone if you're in Richmond proper. You may also find a range of customer service. The first time I went in, I felt very welcomed by the staff members and they answered all of my questions. I was happy to make my purchase. This is what prompted me to return. The second time I went in, the staff member at the register was chatting with an exiting customer about the election. I don't mind a political disagreement or difference but I do mind vindictive racially charged whispers. If your hand is over your mouth as you gleefully lean into your inner mean girl, a part of you knows that what you said isn't entirely classy. Your candidate winning does not excuse bad manners or a lack of decorum. However, it's low form to wish the losing candidate ill, and to hope that they go back to the hole they crawled out of. Wow. It just goes to show that age is not associated with class. Folks are entitled to their opinions, but if you're a staff member hoping to make a sale, it's probably best to keep that under wraps or at least away from your workplace. Not classy, not demure, not mindful at all, and definitely not the kind of behavior that would make America great ... at any point. Note: I do not believe that this staff member reflects the entirety of the others. I do think that, had it not been the day after the election, this person may have been less likely to be less mindful of others in the store. That said, big moments in history do reveal our true character, and I hope this staff member takes the time to be more empathetic and aware of their surroundings the next time they are at their workplace.

I am in the Richmond area for a college sporting event. I had a few hours free and went to visit…read morethis yarn store. It was HUGE! Filled with hand dyed yarns from local dyers. Lots of examples of what you can make with yarns. Great notions and project bags. They offer virtual shopping as well. I needed quite a bit of yarn for my project, so while I am in love with some of the locally dyed yarn selection, I did buy a commercial brand. It is gorgeous and perfect for the cardigan I want to make. Staff was so helpful; spent time with me helping to pick the yarn out and match the colors. I got a great project bag with sheep. I could have spent more money, but there is a budget involved! If you're in the area, this is a go too. Even if you cannot get there, sign up for a virtual shopping tour! I will definitely be back.

I can't wait to attend one of their events and take a class. Such a hidden gem that I will be visiting often!

The selection of yarn and classes is amazing. I can always rely on Stacie to have what I need. She absolutely takes her customers requests in mind when choosing stock.
