Needleworks By Holly Berry

We stopped by for Yarn Along the Rockies (2012). The store is along a strip on Colorado and can be very easy to miss if you are not looking for it. There were a lot of yarns, patterns, and yarn related stuff available. The space is a little cramped, but it looked be organized well. I'm not sure how their prices compare to other places, as I'm relatively new to the scene. There were a few yarns I wouldn't have minded taking home, though. And they had neat buttons which captured my son's attention. The two ladies at the register area were talking to each other throughout our visit. They were pleasant to talk to once we made it to them, but they did not go out of their way to say hello once we arrived or offer help or information. If you stop by here and need help, go to them. Don't wait for them to come to you. I wouldn't mind stopping here again if I'm in the area.

I also visited this store during Yarn along the Rockies. The owner was SO incredibly rude to me (perhaps because my 8 year old was tagging along? Not sure becuase he didn't do anything wrong, but for some yarn stores this is a no-no). She obviously didn't want to be bothered to stamp my pasport - if it was such a big deal she shouldn't have signed up to be part of the Yarn Along the Rockies. It's too bad because the store itself is charming and the yarn selection, while not huge, is still very nice. Someone has taken considerable time to knit lovely example pieces. Prices are in line with most other yarn stores in the Front Range area. Requires meter parking if you park along the street in front of the store.

I learned how to knit here and since then I've also taken their many other classes, including temari balls and needle felting. All of the ladies who work there are incredibly knowledgeable and willing to help with any of my projects. In the store they also sell handmade gifts which make the whole place look really nice.
