Yarn It & Haberdashery

Esther has created quite the cozy shop and crafty yarnist escape in Yarn It & Haberdashery. Yes, yarnist is a word I just made up. =PWhen I first heard about the idea for this store, I was immediately in love. I may not be an expert level knitter or crocheter, but I do really enjoy the relaxing repetitiveness of both - as my friends and family with scarves and blankets and amigurumi can attest. But there aren't many places in our area to buy the nicer yarns and needles and hooks. Thank goodness for Yarn It filling that niche. It's so hard for an indecisive person like me to pick out nice yarn online. I need to feel it, see it, smell it, play with it before I commit to it. Who wants something that's pretty but smells funny or is scratchy and uncomfortable? Not me!I haven't been to any of the classes or tea parties yet, but I definitely hope to change that in the near future. If nothing else, the companionship of crafting with my fellow yarn nerds is appealing enough. Learning a new technique or eating delicious treats is icing on the cake.

I love the warmth and beauty of this store. All notions, gifts and yarns are nicely sorted and stocked. I like being welcome to sit in their front window and stitch anytime or in regular groups that meet there.

Full disclosure, my friends own this shop, but it's also just a really good yarn shop. Great selection of indie dyers, lots of good colors, a cozy space with room to hang out, and good food and coffee next door. I would highly recommend a visit

The staff here is so friendly and eager to help! I'm new to knitting, and wanted to start getting into nicer quality products, and they were so patient with helping me pick something out. I will absolutely be back here for future projects and maybe to take a class!

Completely lacking in customer service and falsely advertising a trunk show. They should probably remove crochet from their listing. For the life of me I can't understand why the yarn shops in this city are so snobby and elitist. As for this shop, don't make public facebook events if you just want to hang out with your friend.

The service was terrible. When I entered the store, the two people there were sitting on the couches knitting and loudly chatting. They looked me over, mumbled a greeting, then went back to their conversation. I was going to purchase a few skeins, but they were completely ignoring me, so I left. For what they are charging, I expect better service.

Went with a friend and we've never felt so unwelcome in a hobby store before. Any attempts to interact with staff went ignored and no one would make eye contact with us. There were knitters sitting in the front and they all stopped talking and stared at us when we walked in; they sat there in silence watching us until we left. Poor selection of yarn weights, was mostly sock and sport with a few worsted options. Parking was difficult, on a busy street with a park across the road so limited spaces. Between the atmosphere and poor selection I do not recommend.

They make you feel at home when you walk into the store. They helped me find my yarn I needed for my project. It turned out amazing. Thank you for your help.

The employees were so sweet and helped me find all the yarn I needed (wanted). The shop was set up so beautifully as well and they had tons of great dyers to choose from!

Rude and standoffish staff.... She really acted like we were putting her out by being there. She also seemed to look down at beginner knitters, she was not amused with questions and seemed to want to get back to her knitting project. Bad bad vibes in this store. Shame and won't be back.
