Best Yarn store in Canada

B	Bree Herbert on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There are helpful knitted accessories or garments (not just swatches) of many of their available yarns, which is fantastic for understanding how they knit up. Everything is priced reasonably. Not a huge selection of brands, but it is a small store. I stop here every time I'm in town!
L	Lorraine on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Owner sat at the till eating her lunch. We were never asked if we needed help or assistance. She was defensive and downright rude. We purchased but never again. Prices are double than places elsewhere. No professionalism or caring about customer retention.
M	M. Meldridge on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went in looking to inquire about if they sold macrame string/thread or wool... something to braid without loosening! Trying to keep busy at home...again totally new to this! A lady sat behind the desk and panel to protect her from covid...just said without looking up or greeting me "we're not a crafting store. " That's fine, but I had barely said a sentence about my predicament and seeking some help. She made me feel like I was a bother and unimportant...almost like I had disturbed her very quiet store. I still tried to get info by asking if she had wool or cotton thread to practice with...only to have her point to an area somewhere around the cashier of Cotton thread, which was only two items from China. (Did not get up, just pointed in a direction)very poor selection. I ended up going to Knotty by Nature in Fernwood. Amazing! Lots of wool and yarn and even macrame string!!! Tons!!!! He had amazing items that were made with everything he sells there! The gentleman that works there went above and beyond! He even shared a lot of knowledge on types of wool and yarn there. I tried to support local as I live in Sidney and my mother frequently buys from here, but she's even said the "help" at in sheep's clothing is something to be desired. I gave 3 stars, but feel it should be a 1-2
R	Rebekah Andersen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stopped in once and asked if they had any cross stitch patterns or floss. Lady behind the till said "no" and then ignored me. Now I see on their website that they do have cross stitch supplies. Not worth going back though. I'll just order online.
S	Susan Sonmor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’ve been here many times looking for yarn and supplies. The owner is standoffish and a couple of times has been helpful but it is definitely not her strong suit. I’ve decided to go into Victoria to Beehive and Michael’s today because I need a bit of advice and I don’t want to fight for it.
T	Tony Olive on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I recently visited In Sheep's Clothing for the first time looking for advice on what yarn to buy for a project to knit a hat for a good friend undergoing chemotherapy, as I am a total novice at knitting. I was really disappointed with the minimal help offered by the owner. She showed little interest in advising me, and her attitude was poor, not what one would expect towards a customer. The whole project was way beyond both myself and an ageing family member who had offered to help, due to the inappropriate fine yarn that was sold to me and the small double pointed needles and circular needle that I was told I needed. When I tried to return the items a few days later I was told that the owner's policy was that no refund was possible, only an in-store credit. The overall customer service was substandard. To finish this negative review on a more positive note, I was rescued by a very kind hearted and compassionate fellow customer who heard of my situation when I was trying to return the items. She offered to knit the hat for me without charge, which she did very efficiently. I shall be mailing the hat to my friend today. My sincere thanks to this lovely lady for helping me out of a difficult situation.
J	Jamie J on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I wasn’t sure what to expect here but I’m so glad I stopped in. I found several cross stitch charts that caught my eye and a couple skeins of hand dyed floss that I’m excited to add fo my stash. I’m not a knitter but I am certainly going to recommend this store to anyone who might be visiting. The employee was kind and easy to chat to. It’s very near the airport and quick to find with parking right out front.
L	Laurel Carr on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We should all treasure these small business stores. I fear they will not be here for long. There is tranquility when you shop here. I appreciate listening to soft classical background music when I shop. I also look forward to quick pop ins and to be greeted by my name. How rare these days to be made to feel special in a shopping context!! Thank you Linda, and your sweet husband, for daily putting in long store hours so I can simply purchase yarn for one of my knitted products. I Treasure you and your store and people like you.
