Best Knit shop in Canada

K	Kristen Dyck on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My favourite yarn shop in Vancouver. I took my first knit classes here years ago and learned enough from the beginners class to teach myself the rest and take on all kinds of projects. The staff is great here, and always keeping up on your projects. They’re also very knowledgeable knitters, helping you with a challenging pattern or mistakes, helping you find patterns to go with your yarn or vice versa. They also have a wonderful selection of natural yarns - no synthetics!
M	Megan Marks on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ While the shop has a few nice things, customer service is not their strong suit in the slightest. I have visited the store three times in the past year and have been ignored each time while the employees are deep in non-knitting related conversations with each other. I may as well be invisible. It's especially frustrating when you have something in your hand and are ready to buy, only to be ignored. This has happened too many times now and I will not be going back.
A	Abby C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The staff always seem very friendly but I recently witnessed a woman answering a few very basic knitting questions for a customer who I overheard was her first time knitting. She seemed really friendly until she turned around and walked away rolling her eyes. I was shocked. The customer didn't seem annoying and only asked a few simple questions. Give people who are learning to knit a break.
M	Michelle Oh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I wanted a quarantine project to fidget with so I went in here yesterday looking for some yarn to make a dishcloth. I'm pretty new to knitting so I had a lot of questions but the kind lady at the shop was helpful and patient. They have a ton of selection and love that they have fair trade, non-bleached 100% cotton yarn! I picked one up with some knitting needles and I'm excited to have something to do with my hands. Will go back for some more yarn :)
M	Maureen Wicken on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been shopping at TBF ever since it opened and have come to love a place that provides me with a much-needed pseudo-therapy! When browsing was curtailed due to the pandemic, I was able to email and consult online with the employees and owner, order over the phone and pick up. And when the store opened again, it was a joy to be able to come in and browse again. Shopping for knitting supplies is not for those in a rush EVER and even though I do have to line up sometimes now, I have met the most delightful fellow knitters as I wait. I highly recommend the knitting classes as I took one recently online which worked surprisingly well! Over the years, a group of us have taken classes together and we set up our own weekly virtual knitting group which has sustained me during these difficult times. Kudos to Three Bags Full for building community and coping with the all the restrictions with grace and patience!
L	Linden Kerr on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love this shop but the star are the online knitting courses! Melissa has taken the time to research learning methods, learned zoom, has a special set up for hand demos... all incredible. Also the specific classes chosen are to allow for a successful knit class. I love that I can still take my classes, make new friends, and learn new knitting techniques and skills - all from the safety of my home! Also, the ability to call or email the shop, then have my supplies packaged up for quick cut side pick up- outstanding!
C	Christina Sylka on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This wonderful store has a fabulous selection of beautiful yarns and notions. It is always a pleasure to visit. The knowledgeable staff are really helpful and welcoming.The classes offer rich learning environments where you learn new techniques, build your skills, connect with other knitters, and complete some truly, great projects. Whether you are new to knitting, returning after many years, or an expert yourself Three Bags Full values and encourages the individual approaches of each knitter.
D	Danielle Pierog on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I am new to using patterns so I came here specifically to have a sales person help me find the right yarn for my project. I knew it would be expensive, but I wanted guidance and I was ready to splurge. Unfortunately, the sales person sold me a sport weight yarn, rather than a light worsted/DK weight yarn like I'd asked for, and at the time I didn't know the difference. I trusted that she'd offered me the right yarn, but after crocheting most of my project I realized that the yarn was lighter than I needed and my project quite a bit smaller than expected. I also had a question about my pattern, but the salesperson told me she was more into knitting and that she wouldn't be able to answer any questions about crochet. I'm not sure if they have a yarn ball winder, but the salesperson did not offer to wind my skeins into balls and I forgot to ask, so when I got home I had to do it myself by hand. The yarn is good quality and I am happy to support ethically sourced materials, but as a crocheter I was disappointed in the customer service that I received, especially considering how much money I spent.
