Lisa has curated a beautiful shop with beautiful staff who are always friendly and excited to help with any problem or question you have. The shop is committed to house as many sustainable products as possible (which is an added bonus) and often have products that are made by and directly help women in other countries so you always know your money is going to a good place. They love yarn and they love people...what else could you ask for in a yarn shop?!

This is my new favorite place in all of New Milford!! The staff is so friendly and helpful, and the yarns in stock are exactly what I was looking for. Love love love!!!!Thanks so much, Lindsey. It was great to meet you and your hubby today...very glad you found what you wanted. We can't wait to see what creative design you come up with next!

My favorite local yarn store. Lisa is always helpful, always welcoming, even (and especially) when I bring my two year old. They have a wonderful policy of giving back to the community through charitable giving which I just love. A yarn store that really lives its message.Thank you so much, Megan Lynn. We truly appreciate your support... and we love it when all of you visit!

There's "5 stars" and then there's places like this that need one more. This place is the best, and trying to do the best. Not only is this shop adorable (my wife doesn't even knit but thinks this place is cute) but they're doing great …Wow, thank you Jules! This is exactly how we want people to feel when they visit our shop, and I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit. We have so much fun meeting people who are as excited about yarn as we are...and we look forward to having you in class ("as soon as COVID-ly possible"....LOL, brilliant!)!

Hi Dianna, yep - our shop is in the town (Washington) where Amy Sherman Palladino was staying when she dreamed up Gilmore Girls. From my understanding, it's loosely based on our town as well as a few other nearby towns, including New Milford (the gazebo), Washington Depot (a village within Washington), and Litchfield. Fun fact: I moved here after reading on Realtor.com that this was where ASP created the series...(I'm a huge fan), and have always loved the idea of a town like Stars Hollow. So I created a shop with that atmosphere in mind!
Hi Gilda, thanks for asking! Stars Hollow actually is a fictional town based on Washington, CT. I believe most of Gilmore Girls was filmed on the Warner Bros. lot in Hollywood, though the pilot was shot in the suburbs of Toronto. The show’s creator has said that she was inspired by her stay at the Mayflower Inn, which is not far from our shop.
