Sisters of the Wool

After a multitude of rude experiences I have finally had enough and decided to write a review.
My first time visiting I bought some yarn and upon checkout I made a comment about how I did not know what I was going to do with it but that I loved the color and had to buy it. A lady who headed into the back room said as she was passing «Yeah I know all knitters are hoarders»…makes you want to buy yarn right? no.
so my next visit was with my husband and then newborn. My husband was pretty disgusted by the group of women who sat knitting talking about how hot some police officer in Little Compton was. I guess gossiping woman meet here.
my next visit I went with my baby and again there was a group of older women knitting. you know what would have been nice? If one offered to watch my baby for all of 5 minutes so I could shop. No instead they pretty much ignored me.
which leads me to my visit today. I went with my 2.5 yr old son. Not an easy task to try to shop and watch your son. I told him he could touch the bell on the way out or else he would sit on timeout, so being a toddler he touched the bell (on the door). So I put him on timeout where he said «Hi» at least a dozen of times to the 3 women knitting. Not 1 of them said hi back or anything. Maybe these women don’t have grandchildren. In any case they were rude. Ignoring a 2.5 yr old is really nice. I had over $ 50 of yarn in my hand that I put back because I could not stand being in a store that had women who could not stop and say hi to my son for all of 5 seconds.
I will also add that they have never asked if I needed help finding yarn, needles, or anything. They have never told me about their knitting group that meets (I heard from some other lady that shops there). It is too bad that the customer service and clientele are so rude.
I give them 1 star on friendliness and helpfulness and 1 star because they had buttons I wanted to buy today. I will never ever shop at this store again. i will buy my yarn and buttons online.

I enjoy Sisters of the Wool. They have a decent selection, though I always like to see more lace weight yarn. The main reason this doesn’t get 5 stars is that they’re not open on Sundays– a day I do most of my knitting!
