J	Jocelynn Vieira on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I recently took a beginner's weaving class at Handknit. The owner taught the class and she was warm and helpful. It was a great class and I would suggest it even for people new to crafting. They have lots of weaving tools for excellent prices, much better than amazon even. The store offers beautiful yarns that you won't find at traditional yarn stores. There is a large variety of fibers and colours and the prices are very reasonable considering that the supplies are all very high quality.
N	Nikolaus Baer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely store, the women who run it are all really passionate and helpful. I basically walked in a few months ago, told them I had no idea what I was doing and they happily set me up with some beginner supplies and yarn. They also hold reasonably priced group and private lessons which come to about $20 an hour. Their free knit circles (monthly and weekly) are always great, everyone there is lovely to be around. Only thing to note is that isn't a "generic" yarn store - it carries more higher end and better quality yarns than something like Michaels. You won't really ever see acrylic or synthetics, and a lot of the yarn's colors are more muted, basic, or natural. The prices are cheaper than stores in Toronto as well if you don't mind the 1 hour+ bus ride to get there, but you definitely won't be able to make a sweater for under $50 like you can with acrylics. Luckily they have some good sales every few months and I've never felt pressured to purchase anything at any visit. It definitely is worth becoming a regular if you have the money to drop $100+ on yarn for a sweater.
J	Juliana Bazha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very beautiful yarn store. It has some yarns that you cant find to other stores. The ladies there are awesome too. I bought yarn and some magazines . Would definitely visit again even though it is a bit far by bus for me
M	Megan M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kate and Tracy are always lovely. They always know which yarn can substitute and are always happy to answer a technique question!
F	Farrell Lambourne on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing shop! I'd never been into a small yarn shop like this, I mainly shop online. The experience was amazing, selection was everything I could dream of, and the ladies there seemed quite lovely. Thank you so much for my new yarn, I can't wait to come back!
D	Debra Charnuski (CalgaryDeb) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely shop and friendly and helpful staff. Was visiting with a friend and we were doing a mini-yarn crawl. Found a matching skein pf yarn for a variegated skein of "vacation yarn" I bought about 4 years ago. Was thrilled. They have a great selection of Isager yarn, which is often not easy to find. Highly recommend.
M	Matthew Odette on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice store and friendly staff but will not return to a store that requires putting on a mask to enter.
j	jessica h on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went in for yarn for a blanket and received very little help even though the store was empty and was discouraged from buying there. I hoped for nice quality yarn and some help in choosing for a pattern I already had (or similar suggestions) it but instead got a weird vibe. I'm open to trying to go in again, but as a first time in-person visit, this did not leave a good impression. I felt like I wasn't part of the club. Please remember to be kind to beginner-intermediate knitters in future.
