A wondrous, magical space with friendly, helpful, and knowledgable staff!! DON'T GO TO MICHAEL'S, SUPPORT LOCAL!!
Lovely store, the women who run it are all really passionate and helpful. I basically walked in a few months ago, told them I had no idea what I was doing and they happily set me up with some beginner supplies and yarn. They also hold reasonably priced group and private lessons which come to about 20 an hour. Their free knit circles (monthly and weekly) are always great, everyone there is lovely to be around. Only thing to note is that isn't a \generic\ yarn store - it carries more higher end and better quality yarns than something like Michaels. You won't really ever see acrylic or synthetics, and a lot of the yarn's colors are more muted, basic, or natural. The prices are cheaper than stores in Toronto as well if you don't mind the 1 hour bus ride to get there, but you definitely won't be able to make a sweater for under 50 like you can with acrylics. Luckily they have some good sales every few months and I've never felt pressured to purchase anything at any visit. It definitely is worth becoming a regular if you have the money to drop 100 on yarn for a sweater.
I recently took a beginner's weaving class at Handknit. The owner taught the class and she was warm and helpful. It was a great class and I would suggest it even for people new to crafting. They have lots of weaving tools for excellent prices, much better than amazon even. The store offers beautiful yarns that you won't find at traditional yarn stores. There is a large variety of fibers and colours and the prices are very reasonable considering that the supplies are all very high quality.
Beautiful yarn selection of exceptional quality. Hit a perfect time with some fantastic sales.
