I was initially thrilled to find a yarn store only a few blocks from my new apt. I recently moved to NYC for a couple years & was looking forward to making knitty friends in my neighborhood. The first time I walked in I was happy to note that there was lots of space to move around & several tables set up. Everything went downhill from there. The staff scowled at me when I walked in - apparently I was interrupting them. I asked about hours, which was apparently an offensive question; received a curt response & the person's back. Well, we can all have a bad day.... Given how close the...

Pretty yarn but don't expect consistent (humane?) customer service?

I've been knitting for awhile and shopped at a number of yarn shops, big and small. I was glad to find Knit NY because it's convenient and accessible. The yarns are really beautiful with a great selection, but really only if you have the pocketbook to support your habit. While I haven't run into problems with staff (mostly), I've found the same label high-end yarns elsewhere for as much as $2 - $3 dollarls cheaper. As for notions, etc., I have been told a few times that the store won't stock certain sizes and kinds of needles (metal?) because ""the owner doesn't like them."" Bamboo's...

Inconsistent service

I have read the reviews here - both good and bad - and all of them are plausible to me. I have gone to this place and interacted with friendly, cheerful and helpful staff. I have also come there and interacted with sullen, unfriendly, impatient staff. (One of my ""favorites"" would refer to customers in the third person while they were standing right next to her. I don't think she's there anymore.)

As a result it's a crapshoot for me. I'll come if there's a sale (and their sales are very good) knowing that I may have to deal with some real pieces of work. I have gotten consistently a...

A Knitter Who Died and Went to Heaven

I have been knitting for a little over a year now, which makes me somewhat of a beginner. The only way that I have advanced so quickly (from simple scarves to lacing and a whole sweater) in less than 14 months is because of the incredible level of service I have received from this store. I have often met friends here to teach them how to knit, and there are times that the owner and manager herself come and sit with us to aid the neophytes completely free of charge, and whether or not we bought the yarn there. I came on here to write a review, and in doing so, have seen the negative comments...

Encouraging New Yorkers to knit and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere is what this Gramercy area store is all about. It has all kinds of yarns available for both the new comer to knitting and the needle fiend.
