User Reviews of Windsor Button

Yelp.com Review - by Tracy H.

4.0 of 5 stars. Staff are friendly, but not overbearing. Button selection is great, but they need "yarn" in their name as well. The selection is the biggest I've seen in the city. Everything from the Red Heart and…

5.0 of 5 stars. If you want help with your yarn selection and people to chat with, go to Woolcott in Harvard Square. If you want to spend an hour perusing an extensive yarn collection with nary a salesperson in…

5.0 of 5 stars. Windsor Button is humungous, overwhelming, and awesome. They have the biggest yarn selection I have ever seen, and the yarn is fantastic. They also have sale bins sometimes and some of the sale bin…

Yelp.com Review - by Amanda Z.

4.0 of 5 stars. If you are looking for buttons, it's clearly the place to go. If you are looking for a ton of different yarns, great pattern books, and a wall of ribbons, it's definitely the place to go. However,…

4.0 of 5 stars. I love it. The knitting classes here are very good. They were patient with my non-crafty self and taught me how to knit, now I love it. Their prices are good and if you are looking for buttons, this…

4.0 of 5 stars. I've been going to this store since I came to Boston and can never remember what street it's on...which I love, its such a old, hole in the wall store with more stuff than should actually be in it,…

Yelp.com Review - by Nicole M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I got back into knitting before the holidays, so I could have something to give people instead of cards. The struggle: Where to find any sort of craft supplies in this city.

4.0 of 5 stars. When I first walked into this store, I was in awe! Huge selection of buttons! There is also a great selection of yarns and quite a few books if you're interested in needlecrafts. They sell some beads,…

4.0 of 5 stars. I was thoroughly impressed with Windsor Button. They have a huge selection of yarns. Yes some are pricey, but they're typically artisan yarns, made from stuff like kelp or alpaca. Their more…

Yelp.com Review - by Irene R.

3.0 of 5 stars. The selection of yarn is amazing, but some of them can be rather pricey. And nothing is well organized. The place feels dimly lit. The prices aren't on the yarns, so you may not know how much you are…

Yelp.com Review - by Brenda T.

3.0 of 5 stars. The only reason I keep returning to this store is because I can't seem to find a decent selection of sock yarn and basic worsted weight yarns anywhere else. The prices aren't too bad either. The thing…

Yelp.com Review - by Allison H.

3.0 of 5 stars. Relatively underwhelming, but I'll give it three stars for variety. In the same trip, I got Lamb's Pride T&Q and a fancy-schmancy super soft organic cotton. First time I went in, the staff was totally…

3.0 of 5 stars. I went there looking for yarn and some other knitting gear, there was lots of different kinds of yarn from the cheapest to the most expensive. They also have books on pretty much everything include…

3.0 of 5 stars. The other day I happened to stumble into Windsor Button while looking for the cowboy boot place which wasn't there any more. This turned into a very strange day for me.

3.0 of 5 stars. A great store for when you get that creative crafty itch. Windsor Button carries a large amounts of buttons (of course since it's part of the store name), knitting and crochet supplies, also some…

Yelp.com Review - by Heather S.

4.0 of 5 stars. Lots of yarn in a range of prices, colors, fiber types-- GREAT selection, but I really wish that they would list the prices near the yarn or even on the skeins themselves (what a concept) instead of…

Yelp.com Review - by L D.

5.0 of 5 stars. Windsor Button is really the 'go to' store for yarn and knitting supplies but I just can't give them the Five Star treatment. The expansion of yarn here has been exponential over the past year or two…

5.0 of 5 stars. I love this store, but sadly, I haven't been in a while. My crafty side has been on vacation, I guess. I walked by it yesterday and thought that I really need to pick up my knitting again. I wanted…

4.0 of 5 stars. The button section is naturally gigantic, and the sewing/craft notions are well thought out. This is also a good place to get a feather boa/tulle veil for a bachelorette party if you can't get to…

3.0 of 5 stars. This store has a great selection of yarn and of course, buttons. They have some sewing supplies too. This store is kind expensive though. They are right near the Park street stop on the red line.
