Cool, small thrift/upcycling store for creative supplies, especially fabrics and yarn! Wish they were open other days of the week than just Saturday 1 to 4 pm, the in-store shopping hours are probably the only down side because with craft supplies especially thrifted items I prefer to see them in person versus ordering online because there are no refunds. I like to see the product quality before buying. Plus it is good to buy fabrics in person versus online because you can also feel thread count and thickness of the fabrics and there is no screen difference of coloration of fabrics or yarns because you can see it in person. But sadly, this is the way of the world as brick and mortar stores aren't the main way people get things as they like the convenience of ordering online, which honestly I don't like for everything. There are just some things a person needs to shop in person for. There's just something magical about going into a shop versus clicking and getting it online.
I love it here. When I told the folks working that I was new to sewing everyone in the place became so excited for me. They gave me an incredible deal on what I came in for and insisted that I fill a bag with free scraps before I left. Five stars every time.
LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! For a much smaller price then any store you can find really nice fabric, yarn and all the in-betweens. It may be limited what you can find as what they have are odds and ends of people that have donated it to them (or that is my understanding). But what they do have is just amazing and you will always find something spectacular that will talk to your creative soul
My first experience with up stitch was a closet sale in February. $10. Gets you a large bag full of yarn, crochet thread and material. What ever you can fit in the bag. I'm hopeful to connect and buy weaving fiber when it's available. Overall a positive experience. Looking forward to shopping again
