Fibers Etc

Huge selection of yarn! Parking is a little frustrating but the quantity and quality of yarn to purchase is worth the effort.

Such an amazing little store! Win, Roberta, and Dorothy are all incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. The yarn is all very high quality, no synthetics here. They also offer one on one sessions to help learn to knit! Can't recommend this place enough

What Fibers Etc lacks in terms of space and time (it's cramped and not open very many hours), it more than makes up for in terms of quality, selection and helpfulness. They carry a huge selection of my favorite, Madeline Tosh. It's worth the trip just for that eye candy. I once bought a skein of Prism yarn for a scarf, didn't get around to making the scarf for several years, and then found that I hadn't bought enough yarn. I went in hoping to find more, only to find that the manufacturer had completely changed the color--not just a different dyelot, but reformulated the color altogether. The woman helping me remembered seeing the old color and spent 15 minutes looking through their back room storage until she found the last two skeins in the bottom of a box. That's the kind of service you'll get! It's a great place. Edit: The store has since moved to a spacious place on Hood St, near Tacoma Elf Storage. It’s a lovely store. During non-pandemic times, they host knitting sessions in the back with plenty of natural light, and of course, their super helpful staff.

Enjoyed my first time! I love the choices the store has. I'm vegan looking for vegan yarns and there were plenty and the store was huge! Happy girl and will definitely come back again! Hoping to come back to take some classes, once the store is able and Covid subsides. Roberta, Dorothy, and Wynn are awesome people. It was a pleasure speaking to them; very kind, helpful as well. I'm just looking forward to taking weaving classes once we're able to schedule. Glad to have found somewhere close!
