This cozy shop has a great selection of yarns. When you get up the stairs it is a treat to see the walls full of beautiful colors and wool types. I like the books available for tips and instructions, and they seem happy to help with questions for a beginner like myself

I have been going to this store for a few months and have always loved the selection of beautiful yarns. Since the refurbishment and new ownership the shop looks a whole lot better and the staff have been very helpful answering my numerous questions as a 'returning knitter'.

I haven't knitted since school but when I visited the Yarn Company with one of my friends the amazing selection of yarns inspired me to give it a go again. So last week I went to buy some materials. The staff were so helpful and I have some wonderful yarn. I think I may even take one of their courses.

The Yarn Company is a wonderful family-run business, with an excellent selection of knitting and sewing supplies. I especially appreciated the wide selection of high-quality yarns. I don't sew, but the fabric they are stocking made me wish I did! The staff were *extremely* friendly and knowledgeable, and wanted very much to see that my experience was a good one. I had help selecting a pattern and appropriate yarn and tools. They seemed genuinely excited about my project. Though they were busy, I noted that they took care to pay special attention to each customer and student, and that they did so warmly and with many personal touches. It was clear they had each taken the time to get to know their regular customers, and were making an effort to get to know their new ones, like me! I will be back to The Yarn Company as often as possible!

I have been to many yarn shops in the city and this is the BEST. I will tell you that unlike other shops, this one is packed! There is a reason for that. Also, no other shops have samples that were hand knit by the owners and the staff ALL over the shop.You never have to go to a knitting book for a pattern unless you want to.They write all of their own patterns and it comes for free with the purchase of the yarn. These girls know how to knit! Any question you have they can answer it. They have fixed mistakes that were beyond repair for me! I go to the store not knowing what I want to make next and they help me put yarns together and tell me HONESTLY what looks good and what does not. I respect their opinions and do not think this makes them rude. The work they do looks like it comes from a boutique department store and they want their customers to have the same outcome. I have referred many people to the shop and they all love it! Go see for yourself what the shop is all about.

You guys just have the best stuff... :)

I just received the most LUSCIOUS Skein Yarn! Thank You Yarn Company!

Thank you for an absolutely phenomenal yarn-buying experience this afternoon! It was my first time in, and definitely will not be my last! :-) I know I mentioned Plucky yarn as well--if you're interested, thepluckyknitter website has a veritable well of information!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for arranging an amazing afternoon. Will never forget it.

My skein arrived today and It is outstanding. This is my most favorite of all. I want to pick a pattern that will truly showcase this. Thanks so much for this custom colorway -- truly a knock out!

This yarn store is great. The have fantastic yarns. Yes, they can be expensive but sometimes you have to pay for quality. I find the staff to be very helpful and they will write patterns for you rather than directing you to a book to find the pattern. And they know their books to so they may help you find the pattern in a book too. Sometimes it can be crowded but maybe that is a sign there is something worth the wait.

I have been a customer here for several years and have always found it to be a wonderful store with helpful staff and a fantastic selection of yarns. The staff always helps me find appropriate yarn if I come with a pattern in mind, and if not - they have oodles of sample garments hanging that are always an inspiration. I have made many projects with their yarn and patterns that have been written for me by them - and they have all been successful! And whenever I have hit a glitch - I just come in, sit down and they help me figure out what is wrong or how to do a new stitch. Granted, there are often people sitting around the table chatting and knitting and it may feel a bit cliquey when you walk in - but all you have to do to join the clique is sit down and all of the sudden you are part of any conversation that is going on and people are commenting on how great whatever you are knitting is. It is a fun, welcoming store with staff that really knows their stuff.

This store has the renewed energy of the early days in the good ol 90's. Innovation, creativity and education mark the highlights of a shop you want to spend more time visiting and see become a neighborhood institution. Keep up the good work and I am so glad I am your customer
