Yarnsmiths

This locally owned and operated business is a breath of fresh air in a town that has been sorely without a store dedicated to yarn/​knitting/​crochet for many years now. In addition to carrying an assortment of harder to find (in Springfield) fiber arts items they have their own lines as well. The Smiths go out of their way to be helpful and really listen to the requests of their customers — something you don’t often find in the big box stores that now litter our city. (Yarnsmith’s is also kid friendly — my boys were completely crazy the last time I shopped there and I was not made, in any way, to feel like I was unwelcome.)
