Yelp.com Review - by Lynne Y.

4.0 of 5 stars. I grew up right across the street from this shop so whenever I visit my parents I come stop in. Their stock isn't thrilling, but I love the warm homey vibe and I must admit that after my dog died I…

Yelp.com Review - by Abigail M.

5.0 of 5 stars. When I first started knitting I did a little search of yarn stores to find the best one. Part of me did it on price (Cascade 220 shouldn't be $10 a skein!) and the rest on the selection as well as the…

Yelp.com Review - by Molly T.

5.0 of 5 stars. Reading other Yelp reviews of Downtown Yarns made me so afraid of it! I am a beginning knitter and wanted to get in, get yarn, and get out because other reviews made the DTY employees sound scary and…

5.0 of 5 stars. My favorite yarn store! They have a good selection and it's really fun to browse. The staff is super nice and helpful and sometimes they keep things in the back, so ask! The prices are average, but…

Great store

I spent an afternoon browsing for a pattern here, and didn't buy any yarn. Even so, the owner was very helpful, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

4.0 of 5 stars. - good selection - reasonably priced (still cheaper to order online), I'd recommend finding what you like in the store and then googling it when you get home

Yelp.com Review - by Elizabeth J.

4.0 of 5 stars. I like to start on a trend right as it's starting to get so ubiquitous that it's almost uncool again. So, after internet stalking what I needed to teach myself how to knit I went to DY. Only fools…

Yelp.com Review - by Emma M.

1.0 of 5 stars. 1 Star because I don't like wasting my day off tangled up in stupid yarn. I don't care if they have nice yarn. They were really unhelpful, in my opinion. Maybe I came on a bad day? Is Friday around 3pm…

Oh, so fine

From their real screen door to their hand written patterns this place is like a trip out of the city. Cozy, friendly. No fuss. There is plenty of room to wander around in, not cramped as some yarn stores tend...

Yelp.com Review - by Aryn M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Well, I only was here for a few minutes (I was with a bunch of non-knitters!) but all the yarn I picked up was reasonably (if not cheaply) priced. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to grab…

Yelp.com Review - by chloe s.

5.0 of 5 stars. The best of what a LYS (local yarn store) might be - small, but with a great selection. Most important are the people who staff the place, from the East Village denizen owner Rita to all the other…
