Wet Coast Wools - Vancouver

I've been to this yarn store many times at different times of the year, on different weather and part of the day. Never did I experience any form of mistreatment from the staff, yet there is no doubt that there can be people working in service and behave outright disrespectfully. And it's hard to imagine it would ever happen to anyone in the way some people describe it to at this yarn store. We are all just human, life is beautiful and yet we all experience struggles every now and then, including people who work in service (obviously). And I find it so unfair that many people expect any more than a human in a store. Like baby drooling over yarn? Doesn't matter how small of a corner, although I'm sure it wasn't a tiny speck, therefore of course it is fully mother's responsibility to pay for it without a question. I have a very curious child myself and whenever I come to the store with her I am fully aware that if she ever even misplaces an object - it isn't staff's responsibility to clean up after her even though they'd be happy to offer help with that. I am sorry Wet Coast Wool's staff has to navigate situations like that and many more, left feeling like they've done something wrong, my compassion goes to you. Our life is our responsibility, our emotions are ours to manage, yet those who are looking to get offended will always find a way...or two.

Wet Coast Wools has an excellent selection of yarns. As well service and assistance is outstanding! There is a wide variety of yarn, books and accessories. Staff is exceptionally skilled and always willing to provide assistance with colour selection in addition to help with patterns. Wet Coast Wools is my first choice of yarn stores in Vancouver. Yarn selection is continuing to grow and a few very hard to find yarns are available at Wet Coast Wools!

Really disappointing and frankly, baffling experience attempting to shop here. The staff were so rude and unkind, I was shocked. But now that I have seen the owner's responses to reviews similar to mine (...yikes!!), I shouldn't be surprised. The interaction lacked common decency, let alone professionalism. Save your money and support a small business that actually values customers.

Amazing variety and such great prices. This is my go to place for all my yarn shopping. They have such amazing quality! It helps that they have the best customer service and the most helpful staff!

Beautiful yarn sold here for knitting of all kinds! I got the Illimani Santi II yarn and made a hat and head warmer out of it. The yarn is real soft, easy to knit, and the colour absolutely gorgeous. I also love the logo of the sheep whose umbrella is being blown away. Absolutely adorable.

Best quality yarn with such a wide variety! Great customer service and very helpful staff.

Cute store with a nice selection of yarns. While I was drooling (figuratively) over some of the beautiful yarns that I wanted to buy, my infant accidentally drooled on a small corner of the yarn I was holding, and I left the store with yarn I had not intended to purchase instead. Unfortunately, as a mom of an infant, and the stores new drool policy, added after our visit, we will plan to shop elsewhere for our knitting projects!

This place has so many beautiful mohair options! Plus gorgeous imported Japanese yarn and unique, local Canadian brands! Staff are also lovely and helpful

It had been at least 2 years since my last Vancouver visit ...And 2 Butter Tarts, a Nanaimo Bar, and half a bag of Cheezies later, it was past the point of no return and so I experienced yarn ecstasy issues ...... I blame the FULL MOON! But Monday Knit Night was well attended with a warm welcome and lively conversations!West Coast Yarns carries a wise selection of Canada-sourced yarns and it is a place where the born-again Cowichan Sweaters is a THING; They have homegrown Canadian Cowichan yarn;And OMG I have a bag of Canadian yarn, a new set of interchangeable cable needles — and I am left wondering ... Who?!? Added raisins to our iconic Butter Tarts??!
