One of the best yarn stores around! Great selection and I love how the store is divided essentially into different weights of yarn. I always stop by when I’m in Ancaster.

This store pretty much has everything you need as a knitter. It's stocked front to back with yarn, notions, project bags, etc. The store is organized by yarn weight, and while it is a lot to look at the store owner is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Great yarns. I try to visit when I am passing through the area. However, I just noticed that the store hours are terrible- the worst I have seen at any yarn store anywhere.

I was not prepared for the paintbox of colours, textures or qualities of fibers! Have a good rest, manup and go cause this is going to be a trip to a yarn shop you won't forget soon. Casual, no pressure and the layout is terrific. I'm planning my next trip. Someone knows what they're doing here!

I always enjoy this shop. Julie is very knowledgeable and helpful and gives great advice in regards to craft type, yarn type, and hook and needle size. They do carry high-end yarns, so this is a special occasion or special.purchase shop for me.

We ordered yarn online and when we went to pick it up, we were berated right from the start that we didn’t have a bag. The yarn was unfortunately not right, and they gave us a refund( which we were told that they never do, so for that we we’re grateful) however, once we realized that the yarn wasn’t right, we asked the salesperson to suggest a different yarn as we had come from a distance to pick it up and we’re ready to spend money. The woman did not recommend anything else, but for us to go to a big box store. Although the sale person recommended what we should do with yarn at home, their demeanour and tone was snotty and rude. Left a really bad taste in our mouths…as people who have purchased things from here before, we won’t be back. We would rather pay more and order something online than deal with the way that salesperson made us feel.

A lovely yarn shop, with divided spaces that let you roam around to discover small nooks of beautiful yarns.

The owner/operator was friendly and helpful; and went above and beyond to describe what skills I will need for the Killer Queen Cowl. Kudos to the knitters who made the samples.
