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!

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

A great place for all things knitting + any classes you might need. And they have someone who makes wooden accessories like a darning “mushroom” for repairing socks.

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.

Going to Handknit is like going to visit a family member. Feel welcome, and such a great selection of yarns, books and accessories. Love it! Recently have updated the shop with amigarumi books and yarns too! SO pretty! They now have the cutest 4-legged greeter named Dingo. You should definitely go and meet her!

Great store! Went with two friends -- they're both experienced knitters, I'm a novice -- and we all left satisfied. The staff person there was really helpful and gave me good advice about the types of yarn I was considering. I also bought a lovely handmade wooden darning mushroom.Note that there is a small friendly dog roaming free in the store, but they will leash her if you don't want her near you while you're shopping.

Massive yarn store loaded with commercial and indie yarns, notions and accessories. This shop almost always has some sort of wonderful sale going on - worthwhile to keep an eye on their social media! The staff are friendly, the space is neat and tidy and easy to navigate. Loads of samples and a excellent sized studio space at the back!Parking is nearby - both free and paid. The shop is accessible and the staff are helpful and personable. Definitely worth a peek if you’re in the area!

I love this store! Beautiful, high quality yarns that are not available elsewhere locally, top quality Chaiogoo knitting needles, & very knowledgeable staff. Today, Tracy helped me correct a knitting error that saved me from ripping out a week's worth of work. Grateful beyond words! ♥️

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
