What a great and interesting store! There is so much artsy jewelry here — and my favorite is Ayala Bar! Beautiful! The prices here range from reasonable to very high, but there is somethig for everyone here and the gals behind the counter are always sweet, helpful and professional. Great selection of jewelry, accessories, hats, clothing, yarn, and chocolate even! Worth a visit!

This is a wonderland of yarn and chocolates! They have wonderful fun clothing and jewelry too. The proprietor is very passionate about her shop and is constantly upgrading it and changing things about so even a local, like myself, is always finding something new and exciting in there. I’m not a knitter but I have a few friends that are and they are ga ga over this place. Highly recommended.

A very fun shop. Every time we visit This shop on vacation we end up finding some goodies there. This last visit I bought a cute/hilarious pair of blue Q socks, and my sister got my niece some jammies that she practically wanted to wear the whole trip. The owner is very sweet as well as the other lady that was working there.

Spent the weekend in Seaside on a little getaway with my bf. One day, we went driving down the coast, and I kept searching Unilocal for places to stop. What? Chocolate? Yarn? Together? How can I NOT stop? Well… Not so much chocolate but good yarn selection. Unique yarns. A few yarns that I HAD to have. But, alas, I could only choose one.(So I got a thick grey with a little bit of neon green running through) Cute gifts. Super helpful. I’d come back to see what they have in store next time I am in town.(And I’ll bring more money so I don’t have to choose one skein!) PS: They reuse the bags that the yarn comes in. Way to keep it green!

I can’t quite remember when I was here last… maybe a year or so. I DID see the new store and it’s much bigger and very nice. The staff is super friendly and they have some nice things. I managed to buy a few balls of some sock wool with sparkles in it — LOVE!

Whenever I’m on the northern Oregon Coast, I make a point to drive through Manzanita and visit T-Spot. The yarns, knitting supplies and knit kits they carry are top notch. Last time I bought yarn here, it was a yummy hemp/wool blend yarn I have not found anywhere else. The shop owner is often the person manning the store, and she is adorable. Not only is this a knitter’s haven, tea and chocolate is also on the menu! Both are high quality, plus the shop carries a variety of tea pots, tea cups, strainers, etc. I picked up my favorite tea mug here, which came with a ceramic tea strainer and lid. It’s the most luscious olive green on the outside of the mug and a warm, chocolate-y brown on the inside of the mug. Again, I have not ever seen a mug like it outside of this shop. Plus, on special occasions other local artisans are invited to do demonstrations at T-Spot. I’ve seen weavers and spinners do their thing here. Knitters, tea aficionados and chocolate lovers– take some time to stop in the next time you are on the Oregon Coast near Manzanita. You won’t be sorry.

I found this shop quite by accident, my sister and I just happened to pull over to stretch our legs and low and behold we were parked right in front of this magical place! I was very impressed with the selection of yarns. And I am not just talking about the varying prices(although there is something for EVERYONES budget in this shop) the sheer amount of weights and types of yarn, wool, cotton, alpaca – fancy weights, bulky galore, and just your regular stand bys were all stacked neatly side by side in a stunning array. My sister doesn’t knit but she has been in a lot of yarn shops and as we left(many skeins heavier then when we entered) she remarked on how well put together the selection of this shop was and I can’t say I disagree at all!

Yarn and chocolate… yes, please! I don’t even knit or crochet, but this place was great. A good selection of chocolate, and even a new flavor of Vosges… Yums. I got these amazing crocheted fingerless gloves. They were a bit more expensive that I would have liked, but they are gorgeous, and we saved money with two beautiful scarves that were on sale. Anyone would be at least entertained by a stop in here.

Chocolate flavored yarn? Knitting chocolate? You can have it all! Seriously though. It’s got definite charm for the women that just want to chill. wonderful wools of many different colors and textures, and wonderful chocolates of many persuasions as well, including Belgian dark chocolate bars — which my friend bought. They also have jewelry, and a little clothing, including coats and scarves. Am thinking she needs to keep adding on to her store name as there seems to be some branching out of other products. The woman working at the counter(perhaps the owner?) seemed to be quite helpful, knowledgeable and looked extremely comfortable in her storefront. Must be all that crocheting and noshing on chocolates all day perhaps.

Really 4.5 stars. Found this shop after walking all around Manzanita and the beach and being dead tired. I was so happy to walk in and see all kinds of great merchandise. I knit and crochet so the yarn section was a dream. The rest was a great mix of bags, chocolate and all kinds of unique offerings. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. Personally, I walked away with a great plastic bag and a chocolate bacon bar. What more could you want?

I’d read about this shop on Ravelry and some friends and I decided to stop in while we were on a weekend beach retreat. I was extremely impressed with the yarn selection and variety. This is not a typical yarn store since Olga also sells chocolates and teas. However, I was extremely impressed with her yarns(and yes, I had a tiny chocolate sample) and was offered a(free) tea sample(my choice of tea). Olga doesn’t carry many yarns that I could get elsewhere, like Noro Kureyon or Cascade, etc. But that was okay, because I was looking for something different, and that I found. There are samples of many yarns and how they look knitted up. And you can even sign up to get free yarn by knitting store samples(Olga’s choice of yarn and pattern, which is only fair). I loved the variety of non-yarn items; the recycled bags were awesome. I got a wonderful one with birds all over it. Olga carries a wonderful selection of Oregon-grown Imperial Stock Ranch yarns and pencil rovings, too. There are items for needle felting, roving for handspinning, and all kinds of wonderful project ideas. Her hat models are wonderful. Olga and her staff will happily wind your yarn into balls for you, too. Some yarns are moderately priced, but she also carries some high end yarns which are to die for. I wish my budget had let me get a skein or two of those! I will definitely be back! My friends loved it too. And I’ll upload some photos during the week.

I almost didn’t go into this store since I’m not someone who knits or uses yarn for anything, but I am glad I did! This store has great yarn and knitting items but also has great hats, chocolates, soaps, and recycled items. I purchased a recycled bag to use for taking my lunch to work and it is about the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time. The owner of the store was very nice and let us wander around for quite awhile. Whenever I go back to Manzanita I’ll make sure to check in and see what new items she has!

I wandered in here on my first day after moving to Nehalem. Was greeted by Olga, the owner, who was as friendly as she is beautiful. Great selection of sweets, crafts, and teas. My wife and daughters will be regulars here I am sure. I will be one of her regular tea customers without a doubt.

This is such a cute little shop, and the service was fantastic. I stumbled in here in a coma after my massage next door at the manzanita spa, and the lady working there didn’t bat an eye at my messed up hair and«face cradle» divets still on my face. She helped everyone who came into the store with enthusiasm and a big smile. I browsed for a while, but didn’t buy anything, because I already have like 900 balls of yarn at home from similar forays into the yarn store, because my desire to knit cool things far outweighs my knitting skills and attention span. I keep thinking about that cool knit shawl though and wishing I bought the stuff to make it. Prices were not too bad for Manzanita, and the selection was adequate for a small yarn shop. They had some cool project ideas and some free patterns, too. The shop apparently doubles as a tea store and also sells gourmet chocolates, so if you are looking for that sort of thing in Manzanita, here it is. I will definitely return. Probably when it is colder out and I won’t be able to resist the temptation of fuzzy warm yarn.

This was a great find with lots of unusual items for wool crafters and knitters, I enjoyed it! It’s worth a stop in Manzanita if you’re near the Oregon coast, even if you weren’t planning to go to Manzanita otherwise. When I visited, they were offering free samples of chocolate, which were very tasty, but I was not in the market for food or tea. I bought a piece of gray handfelted wool, about 8×10 inches, and two little felting kits, one to make a sheep and one to make a pumpkin. Also, a book on zakka, or japanese-style handcrafts for the home.
