StevenBe

I lived in Minneapolis for a few decades and loved shopping at StevenBe's. I'm not in tune with how the yarn is organized there (READ: I'm easily distracted), but I only need to ask for help from the staff. They are super knowledgeable, everyone makes great suggestions and always asks about the planned project or gift.Now that I'm out of state... well, it hasn't changed. I still like spending my money and buying my yarn at StevenBe's. I placed a 'Happy New Year to Me' order via their website and could not be happier with the experience. The website has a TON of great and helpful photos, the prices were very reasonable and shipping was a steal. The order was processed quickly and will be here soon. I figured it would be expensive and slow to travel, so this is a wonderful surprise. BONUS: I even received a cheery personal email thanking me for my business. It was every bit as friendly as a visit in person; hats off from this happy knitter!

Lovely small business with a rainbow of options! The walls and shelves are like eye candy. If they've run out of an advertised option they are quick to offer up alternatives yarns and colors and always happy to make adjustments. It is impossible not to find something you'll love here.

First off, Steven and the crew that were here were incredible. I brought my toddler (always a 50/50 on how that will go) and they all gladly helped to play with her, distract her, show her the mass variety of fun things while I shopped. Steven even gave her a gift! Upon leaving I immediately called my fiber art friends to say we need to go. They have knitting circle events for fiber artists to meet and work on their projects together as well.

Oh my! We came as a group of beginner knitters and was welcomed by Mary. She showed us many items to try, how to select the yarns, what they offered (although, honestly, a lot went over my head). They must have infinite amount of patience-helping us pick out our projects. Yes, I could have probably found my items online (and maybe for less), but when will I have a fiber goddess/artist help me? I appreciate all of her instruction and advice! Worth a stop to check out this gem of a shop!

This was an exceptional yarn store in Minneapolis. Located in an old firehouse on two floors, whatever you need they probably have. Yarns, needles, lessons, patterns, and finished products ...they have it all.The staff was exceptionally nice and welcoming. They have a nice area of lounge chairs for those that want to practice their arts and crafts...and all in a welcoming atmosphere. Give this place a try.

I shopped at old location in Rosemount. I was excited when store opened in Minneapolis. However, every time I've gone in the store, I feel like I'm back in middle school and not part of the cool crowd. I try to shop every few months, hoping for a better experience. (I probably should have given up when they put a tip jar for employees by the register). Yesterday, I walked in the open door and was immediately scolded for not ringing the bell by Steven's mom who was sitting by the door. I was confused and apologized, stating I thought they were open. She said "We're open but you're supposed to ring the bell". I went inside to look for yarn for a couple projects. No one greeted me or offered any assistance. Steven flitted past me a few times, helping others. He commented once that he was so busy that he hadn't said hello (ummm...yeah, I know I haven't been acknowledged...and that's not a welcoming greeting). As I was leaving, Steven's mom exclaimed "you couldn't find anything?!?!" She also reminded me to ring the bell next time. I didn't tell her that there probably won't be a next time. I did find yarns I wanted to buy, but I will be ordering them online.

Most amazing yarn store ever!!!They have every yarn imaginable and prices range from free to more than free ;)Staff is great!!

I love this yarn shop. Steven is very helpful and friendly. The workers are also the best. It is always a positive VIBE when Steven is in the house.

Very nice & helpful clerks. Amazing variety of yarns. I'm excited to try one of their classes. Also, some spendy yarn I had my eye on was about 25% cheaper at StevenBe's than at the last place I saw it.

Stevenbee had a similar but NOT THE SAME as what I asked for over the phone. So frustrating! Not the first time this has happened so now I know how they operate. I won't be back. There are plenty of yarn stores in the area with GREAT customer service. I will go to those places.
