Yarn It & Haberdashery

Great shop and very helpful. Beautiful selection and rumor has it there is a tea party every month!

Esther has created quite the cozy shop and crafty yarnist escape in Yarn It & Haberdashery. Yes, yarnist is a word I just made up. =P
When I first heard about the idea for this store, I was immediately in love. I may not be an expert level knitter or crocheter, but I do really enjoy the relaxing repetitiveness of both — as my friends and family with scarves and blankets and amigurumi can attest. But there aren’t many places in our area to buy the nicer yarns and needles and hooks. Thank goodness for Yarn It filling that niche. It’s so hard for an indecisive person like me to pick out nice yarn online. I need to feel it, see it, smell it, play with it before I commit to it. Who wants something that’s pretty but smells funny or is scratchy and uncomfortable? Not me!
I haven’t been to any of the classes or tea parties yet, but I definitely hope to change that in the near future. If nothing else, the companionship of crafting with my fellow yarn nerds is appealing enough. Learning a new technique or eating delicious treats is icing on the cake.

I love me a good yarn shop, but most I’ve frequented are kind of blah and lack any character or charm. Yarn It & Haberdashery is a lovely breath of fresh air. If I could open up a yarn shop (which is totally my dream), this place is pretty much what I envisioned it to be. They carry unique brands that you cannot find elsewhere in Ohio, have roving for sale, have felting supplies, offer classes such as hand dying and spinning, have monthly tea parties (omg!!!), and carry really fantastic accessories and tools such as KnitPicks brand knitting needles and tools.
