I stumbled across this store while in East Greenwich. As I’ve always wanted to learn how to knit. Lori the owner gave me a few tips and techniques to get started at home I do feel like I can do this! Lori and staff were so welcoming you just don’t get that kind of service any more. I’ll certainly be back and can’t wait to take classes with the girls!!! Even if I have to cross a bridge or two.

I love this shop!!! Every time I walk in I’m met with warmth and friendliness, especially important for me as a beginning knitter. The yarn is beautiful and the environment is welcoming. Lori, Justine, and Dawn know what they’re doing and are happy to help.

This yarn shop is everything you could every want. If I lived closer I would be there everyday. Lori and Justine are incredible people and you won’t find better customer service. The products in the shop are second to none and I wish I could spend every spare penny I have on their yarn, notions, books, project bags and other making accessories they have in stock.
