Wonderful yarn store in the charming town of Altamont. Very welcoming and everything a yarn store should be. Picked up some great sock yarn and relaxed and did a bit of knitting as it was drop-in knitting day. I’m looking forward to returning.

Delightful treasury of yarns, spinning wheels and tools of our crafts. Be prepared to stay a while. There's lots to see and do. The owners are welcoming and very knowledgeable. I learned to spin here, and bought my first wheel. Thanks Kurt, and thanks Nancy and all your team.

Wonderful local yarn shop, with an excellent selection of yarns! They have a variety of yarns, and are eager to help in any way possible. They’re located in a beautiful location, and I’ve always been able to find what I need for my projects! If you’re looking for yarns nicer than what you’d find in a big box store, check them out!!

This shop is very close to Albany, but in a nice quiet location across from a small park and a public library. The first thing that I found in the shop was a WPI tool from Katrinkles that had a cat that looks just like mine on it! I picked up a couple of skeins of yarn from a local brand and a few pairs of needle tips for my interchangeable set. The back room of the shop had a large shelf full of tips and cords. It was the best selection that I've seen in any shop so far. The commercial yarns seemed very well priced and the owner was very friendly. I didn't need my hanks spun, but they offered to spin them form me. I would definitely stop in again when I'm in that area.

Such a lovely store! Cooperatively owned, lots of gorgeous and affordable yarns. I stopped in on my way through New York and was struck by how welcoming and helpful the woman who was working was. In the time I was there, I was able to see what a community the shop has built over the past many years of its existence.

Shop is small with an excellent variety of yarns, needles, and other items. Owner very knowledgeable and six knitters were around a table, including one man, no stranger to the group, with three knitters back in another room. When a hank of yarn is purchased, they have a contraption to wind the yarn into a nice ball. They have packages of 5 double-pointed needles for sock making along with varieties of fingerling yarns. It is welcoming and big-hearted there! Lots of samples.

Very nice staff, greeted me as soon as I walked in the door and was very helpful. The space is filled with yarn and very cozy, but the yarn is well organized and it's easy to find what you need. They carry a bit of Juniper Moon Farm, which I like to use, as well as Cascade. A bit of a windy drive from 90, I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere for twenty minutes, and the parking is less than ideal. I don't like having to cross the street just to park and the parking next to the building seems to be for the apartments next door, but that's not a customer service issue and I can easily look past it. Will go again.

Everything about this shop is excellent. Amazing atmosphere thanks to the terrific staff. The yarns are amazing and their classes are helpful regardless of your skill level. The knitting circles are fun. Really supportive and fun place. It’s a must do.
