In Stitches

I live quite some distance from In Stitches, but I go there all of the time. Why? Because it’s so darned good. Absolutely excellent cross stitch patterns, needlepoint, yarns & floss!!, knitting yarn, generic «stuff», and all attended by lovely, helpful people. I will have to live to age 200 before I even make a dent in what I already have, but does that stop me? No! The store is so very inspiring. Plus you can laugh alot — where else can you have an early bird special if you come in your PJs? Plus sales from time to time just to nudge you a little more. Not that I need nudging. If you’ve been, you know how good it is; if you haven’t — why not? Just go! You’ll love yourself for going and smile the rest of the day.

A lovely well stocked LNS with helpful staff. They are open the 1^st Sunday of each Month and I was lucky to have visited during their super bowl sale. So I got to pick a coupon from a bowl and was awarded a 28% discount on my purchases. I had fun and I came home with a shopping bag of goodies. What I liked best was that this shop covered cross stitch, needle point, and knitting/​crocheting yarns and patterns. All of which was done nicely. I do all of them. They may also have had a few other things that I didnt see because it was crowded on the day I was there. This is worth a stop!

This shop fills me with inspiration and equips me with merchandise of the highest quality. In Stitches will help you with knitting, needlepoint, counted cross-​stitch, Hardanger, surface embroidery, crochet, and several other pastimes. The selection of canvases and kits is outstanding. The store also sells plain canvas in many different colors and gauges.
I love the selection of flosses: so many hues, textures, and fibers (silk, cotton, and metallic are only the beginning) in a broad range of prices. In Stitches has a lovely selection of beads and buttons, as well as needles, scissors, lights, magnifying glasses, hoops, stretcher bars, and a lot of specialized tools and books.
Lovely things are tucked into every corner of the shop, making this a great place to seek your Muse. If you don’t see something, just ask. I placed a special order for a Rocky Giraffe frame holder; it holds complex projects still, allowing me to stitch with both hands, more precisely, and more quickly.
The shop frames finished projects and also sells some frames. In Stitches has a regular stitch group, and also helps customers who want to enter pieces in the annual Woodlawn needlework exhibition.
Staff members have expertise in several different areas, so they can truly offer advice, whether you are a novice or expert.
You can sign up for a newsletter and email notifications, which give updates about new merchandise and dates of sales.

Wonderful yarn shop, I’m close by, & the only problem is, as a longtime fiberholic, I already have a huge stash, but for impulse purchases or ‘presents’ for myself, this is a great place. The folks are very helpful, w/​out being pushy-​I think it’s also great for needlework stuff, although that’s not what I shop for.
