What a lovely shop and delightful staff! This was today's experience which, when posted on-line with a picture of my purchases, caused an uproar. Everyone loved the yarn but everyone also wanted to see the chicken lol . . . "Oh my! I accidentally popped into the new yarn shop on my way home from my weekly treadmill run with Dad. The owner and I were chatting away merrily when I looked down into my arms and discovered yarn, lots of yarn, and a chicken. I put the chicken back and didn’t buy the yarn for the chicken but I’ll be daydreaming about the chicken for awhile. Here for your viewing pleasure is the skein that will become my first pair of crochet socks, the one that will become a cowl for a dear friend who loves Monet, the skein that has a reflective thread running through it that will become earwarmers for me on my runs and two of the most joyfully coloured skeins that will become socks for my daughter and another cowl for a friend. Can you figure out which is which? Squeeeeeeee! New yarn is so much fun! :D "

I went in for my first time ever yesterday and it was an along experience. The women who was on when it opened was amazing and so helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone who crochets or knits.

Great shop, super friendly and a selection of locally dyed yarns. And when I asked about knitting socks, she suggested a book and pointed out all of the great sock yarns.

Great selection of yarns, really helpful staff. So glad to see a nice yarn store open close to home!
