Yes, this place really is that good. They sell a surprising variety of products for a smaller store, from fabric to yarn to needles. The young woman who worked the counter answered my three questions succinctly and helpfully ("does the thread come in different weights," "which needle should I use," and "where can I find push pins?") They sell at reasonable prices, which are comparable to a national chain. They are switching it up and moving two blocks down the street soon, so dont be alarmed if you encounter an empty store front. Support a small business that encourages crafting and creativity.

They have everything you want for knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidering, etc.. Prices are in line with what you pay in the area (I have been to a few places). The people who work there are very nice and knowledgable. They have really great classes too (I have taken the intro to circular knitting and intro to crocheting classes). They also have every other Thursday devoted to just having people come in with a beer and do their craft!

The people who work here work hard, and are especially knowledgeable and attentive to customers. Check out the online calendar for free social events. Buy a few hours of studio space for your larger projects. Classes are a little pricey, but they limit the students to 4. Yup 4 people. This is an upscale shop with quality products, so expect that prices will be in line with other shops and websites of a similar type.

Great service and quality. I came in looking for a specific quality of fabric (semi-transparent for a mask) and they immediately knew what Id want (voile) and even explained that I could buy a small quantity of it for making a mask (1/4-1/3 yard). Very friendly and helpful. What a delightful find in the middle of Cambridge!

I started learning to sew here a year ago and now I can see my own jeans. This shop is amazing; the classes are great; they carry excellent fabrics and a good although small section of notions. The classes are highly recommended. Their yarn etc selection is also great.

I took the basic sewing class here last night, and it was so terrific. The store is such a friendly place, Virginia is an amazing teacher and is so patient, and I had a great time. I would HIGHLY recommend taking a class here, or just popping in to check it out!

This is a cute little quilting and yarn shop with friendly staff and high quality products. I wish they had some more basics (like all purpose thread or cheap remnants for practice) but Im a garment sewer not a quilter. Still a great small shop.

I LOVE this store. The fabrics are amazing, the owners are super helpful and nice, and the atmosphere is wonderfully warm and friendly. I highly recommend it to any one who sews or is interested in learning how to sew. Its a jewel!

First time. Friendly helpful staff. Cute clean open airy feel to the store. Possibly the only shop around Central Sq to buy sewing thread. Short bus ride or 15 min walk. Color selection worked for me, dusty rose. Thank you!

This shop is amazing! Coloful, lovely, free snacks, amazing owners who go way out of their way to help you, Pfaff machines to rent in store, etc. Couldnt ask for better in Cambridge.

The selection of organic cottons is the best Ive seen. The concept of retail and workshop is awesome too.
