The Elegant Ewe

Great shop with nice people and a good variety. Also a decent sale section and other notions like shawl pins and buttons. It is easy to park and the woman working there was engaging and helpful.

Oh, I love this place! Always helpful! Great variety of brand name yarns, as well as notions, fantastic selection of books, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Some have created their own patterns — talented as well! They’ve done a great job offering classes with nationally-​known teachers, and have spinning wheels/​supplies/​fibers as well.

This shop has just about everything that you could need for any project that I can think of. The shop is not huge but they have it set up in such a way that there is a ton of stuff in there without feeling cluttered. There is yarn for every project, spinning wheels and fibers, knitting needles and crochet hooks (absolutely beautiful ones!), purse handles, buttons, shawl pins (beautiful locally made ones, too), a great selection of books, and lots more. The young woman who I peppered with questions gave me great attention even though the shop was busy, plus she was very knowledgeable. The other woman who rang up my purchases was very friendly and, even though she had just walked in the door, immediately started waiting on me (I told her I didn’t mind waiting for her to get settled but she would not make me wait). Being more of a crocheter than a knitter, I appreciated that they have several books on crochet that are up-​to-​date and with fabulous projects in them. There are lots of sample garments around the store so that I could see how a particular yarn works up. I enjoyed my visit to the store and will be back when I am in Concord, NH again.

I love this store! Intriguing! All sorts of fun yarns, interesting displays, knowledgeable staff. Really good use of the space they have. If you are into spinning as well as knitting they have supplies for your craft! Very elegant ewe!

I started visiting this shop as a beginning knitter, and while it didn’t feel warm and fuzzy, they have a great selection and knowledgeable staff.
I started taking a «project of choice» class, and as I began to learn more and visited other knitting shops in the region, my regard for this shop increased immensely. The selection is great, considering the small size of the shop, and the class has been invaluable. My confidence in my knitting has greatly increased. Now when I’m shopping for supplies, I know they are likely to have what I am looking for, and if I’m just looking for ideas, they’ll have those too.
They also have a good collection of buttons and artsy shawl pins!

This is a nice yarn shop but I never get a warm fuzzy from their staff. I only go there if I need something, I don’t go there to browse and don’t support the shop by spending a lot of money. I like to support local businesses but just don’t feel it from this shop.

a nice local yarn store in downtown concord. lots of basics, and some nice more-​than-​basics. cute buttons, large selection of books, some roving and spinning supplies, and lots of dye (in the drawer of the armoire next to the register). there also seemed to be plenty of eager people working which is always nice.
they had some BEAUTIFUL cashmere/​alpaca/​merino undyed yarn that sang to me but i decided to be strong and now i regret it. sigh.
