Obsidian Truver (First Aid Owl)

Very cute little shop with amazingly soft yarns. Granted, they are pricy but they are far better than anything you will find at like Michael's or other big box stores. I wanted to make something really special so I wanted a really nice yarn and this place had a great selection. Beautiful colors and I just wanted to touch them all. Can't even compare to buying online where you can't feel the yarn :( feel is very important to me!

Excellent little yarn shop. Currently only two customers are allowed in the shop at a time, so there may be a 15+ minute wait depending on how full the shop is, but otherwise they're fully functional! The staff there are nice and knowledgeable, and they helped me pick out some good yarn for my sweater.

I love the selection of interesting and high quality yarns here. For my latest project, I had picked the pattern so knew the weight of the yarn I needed, but that was all. Lisa at Close Knit even knew the pattern and suggested two yarns. I looked at color options on the yarn websites and picked ones I liked. I started with my favorite - a beautiful gray wool / alpaca blend - and they had 6 skeins in the same dye lot. I am ready to begin! Great store with lovely service.

Small but very nice knitting and embroidery shop. Lots of inventory, beautifully displayed. Very helpful staff. Located on a corner in the Alberta district. The knitter in our family Loved it! Will definitely be on our list for the next time we are in Portland. Definitely 5 🌟.
