Nimblefingers

What up, my knitters! And hookers too, you get on in here! This place is great for us. Hey it’s great for needlepointers too, but I’m gonna focus on knitting & crocheting because that’s what I know and that’s why I came here. This place beats the pants off your standard Hobby Lobby/Michael’s fare. You want generic cheap acrylics, ok then stick with Hobby Lobby, but when you’re ready to knit with something that will be prized and treasured and cuddled with, hit this place up. Their prices are very fair for the quality you get — I found a great machine-​washable merino wool and a good set of bamboo circular needles for a super-​secret project I’m working on for a special someone. The color variety is obviously not as varied as what you can find online but they have samples in every shade AND what shades they do have are cheaper than similar products online. Unless you need a SPECIFIC shade I’d check this place out first. The bamboo circular needles I got are also cheaper than the ones I saw on Amazon.
The store is itty-​bitty, but it’s not a huge problem. They have little knitting and craftwork circles that meet in the store to work on projects together which seems neat — I’d totally join if I lived closer.
But the yarn… my god the yarn. I need a few seconds to just talk about that. They have these cashmere skeins in the most gorgeous colors, imported from France, $ 25 apiece and despite that price tag I spent a good 5 minutes drooling and dreaming up projects I could make with it. It was so soft! And so colorful! I’m still thinking about that gorgeous, wonderful skein of yarn.

I can’t say enough about this place, Chris (the owner), and her staff. They have a great selection of products for both knitting and needlework, lots of class offerings and workshops, AND everyone is as friendly as they can be. Home away from home. It’s like Cheers where everybody knows your name.

This place is located in a shopping center on Memorial and is a bit small — an issue if there are more than 5 – 6 people in the store at the same time.
Once you walk in, you will see needlepoint patterns plastered on the walls for sale with price tags on them (and they’re pricey, I might add!). You’ll also see tables set up by the entrance for those who are working on needlepoint projects. There is a section in the middle left of the store where you can find all sorts of thread in any color you can imagine. There is also a back section that appeared very unorganized. It was so unorganized that I thought it was perhaps for employees only so I didn’t venture back.
As for the service, the ladies were very nice and helpful. I was there to look for cross stitching materials and patterns and they informed me of another store out in Spring that might have what I’m looking for. Also since I’m not quite familiar with this kind of needlepoint, one of the ladies showed me the project she was working on and explained to me how to use the patterns.
I discovered that there is a whole new world of needlepoint out there!
