Have Ewe Any Wool

Wonderful yarn shop! I always feel welcome and the staff is quick to greet you and ask if you need any assistance. They ALWAYS offer to wind your yarn… which I appreciate because the only other yarn store close by has a strict policy that they do NOT wind your purchase. I highly recommend the quality of yarn you can find here!

I LOVE this place! This is the only yarn shop locally that I patronize and rarely do I step foot in JoAnn ever since I found this cozy little shop a few years ago. Exceptional yarn and fantastic selection. If there are not enough skeins, Linda, the owner, will order more for you. Sometimes her husband is in the shop and he is the designated «yarn winder» –he takes the skein of yarn and places it on a large bobbin and winds it into a ball. He’s very pleasant to talk to.
One thing that could use some attention is the website –it has sort of a «homemade» feel to it and I don’t find it to be useful except to find out where the shop is located and how late they’re open until.
I find it to be a very relaxing experience to visit Have Ewe Any Wool, and I always walk away satisfied.

Wonderful yarn shop! Owner Linda is extremely personable and helpful. I started shopping here August 2011, a few months after I started knitting, and love the wide variety of yarns and other supplies. Took a great sock knitting class (great instructor Maryann) last fall. Shop is temporarily located across the street from its actual location due to fire/​smoke damage in December, but will return to original store August.

What can I say about Have Ewe Any Wool? As soon as you walk in you sense the coziness and friendliness of the store. At a glance, the store is small. But if you look towards the back, you will see a set of stairs that leads into another room.
They sell very high quality yarn. They offer a nice assortment of mohair and Alpaca. They tend to have a lot on sale too. If you look at the print-​out patterns on the table, you will find some that are free with purchase. Don’t forget to look for those!
The store is surrounded by plushy lamb dolls and other lamby décor. It’s quite cute and the wool is so soft. The customer service is very nice and experienced.

Nice place. It’s bigger than it seems from the outside because of the backroom. There are pretty good sales around, a nice selection, and ok prices. Welcoming staff and customers
I just moved to the hood, so I will probably be here a lot.

I’m brand new to yarn shops, so I really can’t get too much into the types of yarn available, however, what I can add is comments about the customer service.
I first stepped foot into this yarn shop in December 2009. At the time, I was with a knitting pro who immediately hit it off with the owner, Linda. We were greeted at the door and Linda asked how she could help us and offered to show us around the store if we wanted a tour. We choose to just browse since we really had dropped in more out of curiosity than for a project mission.
In January 2010 I returned to this shop and signed up for beginner crochet lessons. It was $ 35 for three 2-​hour sessions. The sessions were wonderful. There were only two of us taking them and our instructor was fabulous. The one on one attention left me with three stitches under my belt and one project in swing (a baby blanket).
Although my crochet lessons are finished, I have stopped in once or twice in the past month just for the atmosphere. Someone is always sitting in the front room chatting with others while working on knitting or crochet projects. When you walk in the front door, it’s warm and welcoming and they invite knitters, crocheters, and yarn enthusiasts of all ages. It’s the place to be if you’re into yarn and friendship-​making ;)

This yarn shop is wonderful. They have a lot of the famous luxury yarns, like Rowan kidsilk haze, Misti Chunky Alpaca, and so on, as well as a great selection of the many hues of Cascade 220 and Lamb’s Pride. So, a good mix of the high-​end and standard.
There was one person working there when I went, and she was very helpful and pleasant to talk to. She didn’t have the habit that so many yarn shop ladies have of ignoring one because one is under the age of 40. She even went searching for the roving in the backroom when I asked about it, and called the owner to determine the pricing when it wasn’t marked. She also told me they were expecting a shipment in a few days, rather than let me buy something if something better was going to come along.
I usually use Cascade 220 as my gauge for a yarn shop’s pricing. Of course I’ve forgotten it, though. But it was more than it costs in Ithaca, but less than it costs in Boulder, for what it’s worth ^^
