Needles In the Haymarket

In a world of self checkout and impersonal, online shopping, it is SO refreshing to walk into a store and be greeted with a, “Hey! We haven’t seen you in a while. How have you been? Are you knitting anything special these days?”

Plus, their selection is fantastic. I love this store!

Am new to knitting and had several questions about yarn and needles. Linda was extremely helpful in explaining the differences and I wound up buying an amazing set of needles and great quality yarn to start with. She even wrote down some practices I can do to prepare for future lessons with them. Beautiful store and wonderful staff!!

All the yarn you could ever want. Prices are a bit steep but you can't find this selection in other stores. Not much for felting, but they did have a small selection.

I'd like to rate it higher but when I walked in the door I was met with a very unwelcoming "greeting". Staff got nicer when my friend came in and started talking to me. I guess you need a certain look to be trusted.

I've only been here twice, but every time I come out with something gorgeous, and I really enjoy everything they have there. I found a beautiful yarn for a sweater and really love the options that they have.

They've gotten a bigger shop since the last time I came and it looks like it's just set up for you to relax and get comfortable. It is awesome.

Highly recommended if you're into any needle arts, as they have all types.

Lovely store! Very helpful staff. I would have given 5 stars but I took two crochet classes and they were not well organized, had students with different levels and no real direction for a project.
Six hours of time and two class fees.

I just love this store. I stop by often for help and lessons, as well as to stock up on the stunning yarns during the wonderful sales.

One time, I was having issues assembling the sleeves of my cardigan and called to see if I could get help. The owner, Marti, was kind enough to read the instructions with me and we figured it out. I have since visited multiple times for knitting lessons with Shelly (excellent!). Recently, I had trouble with my magic loop and I was able to get help from another expert, Linda. Kenny has been my go-to for anything brioche-related. He is amazing! Everyone at this shop is incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging. If you want to learn how to crochet or knit, this is the store for you! They also take donations of yarn (I have a lot that I need to purge) to distribute to different groups.

The staff are always super friendly, professional, and helpful! I was looking for a specific color of Weeks Dye Works, but they were all out. The employee took the time to look up possible alternatives and helped me pick out a different color. I only go for the fancy floss for cross-stitching, but if you love knitting, then this is the store for you! Huge selection and very knowledgeable staff!!
