Really kind & knowledgeable staff! I am very new to crochet, and I had questions regarding any yarn substitute recommendations and they helped me right away. Today was Local Yarn Day so they had a small raffle and free prizes. Their website is updated with any events or material updates. Staff is always friendly!!!! They sell amigurumi yarns, and a wide variety of known brands along with Texas hand dyed yarns as well!

Great selection at good prices. Easy to order sweater quantity.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Hands down the best experience Ive ever had in a yarn shop. I will definitely be returning!

Great selection of a acrylic yarn for my weaver wife. Courteous and knowledgeable service.

Super friendly staff and the best selection in town. I bought a large number of hanks that they deftly wound for free all while handling other customers seamlessly. Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about knitting and crochet. Highly recommended!

Its always a treat to visit Yarnivore! Though my reason for going today was simply to get some more blocking pins, I have to walk the aisles and squeeze some skeins. They have some magnificent wooden yarn bowls crafted from wooden bowls and canisters the craftsman picked up in thrift shops and elsewhere. Two of the bowls have their own pedestals that serve other functions. What a surprise to see how discarded items have been given new life through multifunctional purpose. Worth a trip!

Excellent shop. Great selection of yarns. Everyone is super helpful and polite. There were trunk shows when I went. The layout was great.

Lovely store with attentive and knowledgeable staff. Displays and organization of fibers was very nice. They offer a good selection and even carry locally dyed yarn. All in all, a very good lys!

The staff is wonderful. Great selection of yarn and all things fiber lovers will want to take home with them. Comfy couches to knit/crochet on.

Employees are very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable about their yarn and their craft (knit, crochet, spinning, etc.). The notions there are very cute.

The woman who helped with my first knitting project was very helpful and personable.

Love this place! Just came here for the first time and it was such a welcoming environment. Will definitely be coming back!

Holy cow! Huge selection of yarns! Very neat and orderly too! There was only one staff member that I saw, but she was very kind and helpful! I felt at ease here and was able to take my sweet time admiring all the beautiful varieties of yarn. If I ever revisit San Antonio, I could definitely see myself returning and overspending again!

I have always enjoyed going to the store to look for yarn that I cannot find anywhere else. There used to be a wonderful young lady working at Yarnivore that was always very helpful and would ask if I needed any help. She graduated from college and went off to start her career some time ago and I had not been back to the store until recently. I stopped by the shop on 12/24/2019 to pick up a gift. There were 3 women working in the store. One older woman with long gray hair and glasses was helping a customer. The two other women were chatting with each other. One of the women had very short hair with faded unnatural hair color and was wearing a vest. She was complaining about having to arrange the yarn and about being with her family that evening. As a 20 year veteran of the customer service industry I understand how unpleasant it can be to work on Christmas Eve when all you want to do is go home. Regardless of how you feel you should never allow customers to hear you complaining about doing your job or your personal life, it is unprofessional and tacky.I continued to shop for about 30 minutes, not once did any of the women ask me if I needed help. However when a couple from New Hampshire walked in the store after me the women were very prompt to greet them and offer assistance. When I finally checked out the woman with the short hair was at the register with another young woman, I believe she had a hat on. The one with the hat was eating and then proceeded to grab my yarn with her dirty hands. I let it go because I can wash it. I asked the woman with the short hair to wind my yarn because I wanted to put a cake in the yarn bowl that I purchased so that it would fit neatly in the bowl. She refused to do what I asked her to do because it was a skein. I was angry that she would refuse a simple customer request, but I didnt feel like arguing so I let it go. A better way to handle the request would have been to explain that typically skeins like the one I purchased are used as is BUT the decision should have ultimately been up to me to decide whether or not I wanted a cake. With the exception of the woman with long hair and glasses, these women were very unprofessional. I suggest that if these women do not want to work on Christmas Eve or dont want to deal with the public (or maybe certain members of the public) that they find another profession. One in which they do not have to interact with people.

Most helpful,friendly ladies Ive been helped by in a long time.

Very helpful. Looking forward to returning for my 1st weaving lesson

My absolute favorite yarn shop! Everyone there is so sweet and helpful everytime I go.

Excellent service and pricing for the wide variety of products for all my fiber desires: weaving, pin looms, knitting, tatting, and spinning. My last visit I was surprised to see needlepoint supplies 👍

Amazing yarn selection and super friendly! I honestly felt like I was talking to my close friends when I talked to the staff! Good prices too for all the rare yarns in stock! Can I also mention the free snacks and water? They LITERALLY FEED YOUR NEED. (I think one snack had peanut butter though) The little gathering area with all the chairs is really cozy and comfortable :) Personally, I think that anyone who rated Yarnivore 1 star doesnt know good quality yarn and service and should stay at Hobby Lobby where they belong. Dont take it personally ;)

Very nice place for anything that you can knot, crochet, and weave. They even have the old looms to make potholders. I was really intregeed by the small weaving looms available. The people are really great. They are helpful and supportive to people coming in to ask questions and further the craft.

Personally, Im not a yarn gal. So I wandered through the store with a sense of mild interest and politely nodded as my fiance lost her mind and examined every single skein in giddy excitement and told me how great everything was.Wool yarn, synthetic yarn, silk, alpaca, camel, rayon, Merino, cotton. Different blends. A few locally dyed yarns. Bags of colorful roving in the back. They had drop spindles, umbrella swifts, ball winders, they even had a spinning wheel for sale.Knitting, crochet, and felting tools. Broach pins and buttons.They had cool yarn bags with fun logos. And I was very impressed by the loom they had set up for display and found they sold tools for weaving as well.When we came in they had a class going on and if we were locals we would have explored that more, but its cool that they offer that.The lady behind the counter were very friendly and I felt she enjoys working where she does. She made sure we had help when we needed it and left feeling great.She also wound our purchased yarn skein for us, which was fun to watch and made me appreciate the initial investment of a ball winder and swift.Overall its a really great shop and if youre in need of quality yarn or supplies, this is the place to go.

Excellent customer service

I love the store, however I had a bad experience one weekend. Two guys were manning the store. One was knitting on the couch. I had a list of the yarns I needed for a project. The other guy said he had all of the yarns I needed but would not sell to me. He asked about my project and I showed him my book. He said he would not sell me the yarn because the project was not worth the $40 in yarn. I do not feel it is his place to judge what I want to make and how much I want to spend. He refused to sell me the yarn! I should be able to spend what I want on whatever I want to buy in the store! I wonder what the owner would think of that. I should have reported him.

Love this store! Great selection of yarns to choose from and always great service.

Of all the yarn stores in San Antonio, this is my favorite. Great selection of yarn in all thicknesses and price ranges. From inexpensive to pricey luxury yarns. The shop keepers are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Even offering to wind the hanks of yarn into balls for you. They also sell some roving for hand spinners, wool wash, books and accessories for knitting, crochet etc.Bright, clean and well organized store with a sitting area for our patient husbands.

Inspiring yarn shop in San Antonio TX! I found many local Yarns dyed and created in the state. That’s what I look for when traveling. Super nice owner too. I loved this place!

Super helpful and kind staff who interacted with my kids just as kindly. Great selection and good variance of prices. I am so glad I visited this yarn store on my vacation!

Nice yarn, nice people

This place is fantastic. Im only in town for a short while but I almost wish I was staying so I could keep going here for my yarn craft. The staff was knowledgable, and great to talk to. And unlike big shops they save the information from your purchases so you can go back and order more even if you loose the info on your yarn. I especially loved the selection of locally dyed yarn. The price was a little higher but thats because the quality was so much nicer.Seriously if youre into yarn craft and want to support a great local shop, head to yarnivore.

I took the beginners knitting classes with Wendy and had a wonderful experience. Wendy is an amazing teacher and her classes were lots of fun! Can’t wait to be back to attend more classes.I’m currently knitting baby bonnets for my baby who’ll be here any day now :)

I love this place! The selection is wonderful and the staff are usually helping someone with project questions when I come in. Very nice atmosphere.

Great yarn and even more perfect service!!!

The staff here has always been willing to help me with my knitting snafus as I’m a beginner. In addition they’ve helped me with pattern, yarn & supply choices. Thanks, Yarnivore crew!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Yarnivore! Tammy and her team are so friendly, resourceful and go out of their way to make each and every visit an experience to remember. The yarn inventory is fabulous! New products are tempting and projects come together swiftly with the assistance of the staff. They will wind, ship, offer guidance, encouragement and suggestions. Plan on plenty of time when you visit Yarnivore! And if you want to sit and knit, the couches and chairs are warm and cozy. Whether your interest is knitting, crocheting, spinning or weaving, youll find everything you need at Yarnivore! Thank you, Tammy for all you do to support San Antonio fiber addicts!

Great shop! Helpful staff, lots of accessories, best of all...tons of yarn. I’ll be back!

So glad we stopped. Super friendly and helpful staff. Great yarns and fibers. Knit night was getting underway and I wished I could have stayed! Go here. You wont be disappointed.

I love this place. They have the best selection of yarn. Every time I have been, I could find any color I was looking for. Tons on different fibers, and needles, books etc. They were always super helpful when I had questions. If you are new to knitting or just looking for speciality yarn, this is the place!

This place is a cool little gem. Everyone inside was super nice, and they had an extensive set of yarn options. AND they offer classes for knitting, crocheting, and (I think) embroidery.

Great selection with some rare and unusual yarns. The staff was helpful, perhaps a bit too helpful. I was only able to put together the yarn for 2 of the 4 projects on my list before one staff member started encouraging me to check out so she could wind the skeins for me. So I did, and picked up the rest of my yarn elsewhere.

This is the place to go to meet all of your YARN work needs.But be warned, they dont sell the cheap stuff; they only have high quality products at reasonable prices. Plus, they have weekly classes for teaching simple folk like me how to manipulate YARN in the best possible ways.

I love visiting yarn shops whenever I travel, and Yarnivore did not disappoint. Fantastic selection, sale bin and samples. I especially enjoyed seeing the looms and woven yarn samples. I may need to try that! Husband friendly (chairs available for waiting) and friendly staff.

Yarnivore staff, product and classes are absolutely the best! Whenever we are in town my wife and daughter virtually live at the place!!! It is hard to explain... Yarnivore is more than just what they sell and teach... it is a cultural and social experience... It is truly amazing to see how the everyday things we take for granted are made!

Wow! What a fun store. They had a couple of SpinOlution wheels to demo. Smoooooth.

I absolutely LOVE this store! The yarn is organized to make it so easy to shop when you already have a project in mind and need to find a specific weight or type of yarn, but the displays and shop samples offer tons of inspiration if you are just browsing. I try to make it to every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month Knit Night to say hello to the regulars and see what everyone is working on. The owner and employees are very helpful and friendly, so make sure to stop by if you are in the area.

I was in town with my husband who was attending an AD conference. I am in a place where many knitters are at this time of the year. Finishing my last Christmas gift and I dropped a stitch. 😮 I took UBER there and had met Wendy on the phone. She picked up my stitch and I sat there for several hours knitting. 🧶 I shopped the beautiful yarns, accessories, books, novelty, Texas yarn dyed, and so much more. What a treat! I’m reading Wendy’s newsletter now and they also gave me my birthday discount first time in the store!!!!😍 Thank you for hosting me for the afternoon. It was a highlight for my trip...

I could stay in this store all night. Comfuy chairs to curl up and crochet and talk. Best thing, though, no kids, no hubby, and no TV.

Super Cute.Super cute store with a large selection of products. Staff was very nice and I especially love that they track the names of gift card recipients so even if they lose the card, they can still use the gift.

Love this shop, everyone is so kind, knowledgeable and helpful.This is a SPECIALITY yarn shop. Yes you can find basic acrylic yarn like you will find at hobby lobby or Michaels... But the point is, that they carry HUNDREDS of brands that your regular craft store cant carry.If you want a cashmere, a merino wool, a nylon blend, and in different weights and color schemes this is your shop. Natural fibers are WONDERFUL, and if youre making a fine garment, you ll likely want a fine yarn.Do I buy all my yarn here? No.. But I do buy all my NICE yarn here. And they are priced well. Ive made some beautiful stuff from yarn purchased here that NEVER would have looked the same if I used cheap acrylic yarn.You can sit, relax, feel everything, they offer classes and private lessons at very reasonable cost, and will even whine your yarn for you on their swift.And beyond that, who doesnt want to support local business?!

I went to Yarnivore today for help fixing dropped stitches on a knitting project. Moses very quickly fixed my problem (I wasnt in the frame of mind to be shown how to do it today). I stayed around afterwards and knitted on my project with several other ladies there and enjoyed myself greatly. Everyone is so helpful and the atmosphere is light-hearted and filled with laughter. There are so many classes offered here such as tatting, knitting, crocheting, tunisian crochet, weaving and much more. They host knit night and there are many opportunities to just come and work your project in a great environment. There are also so many different yarns to choose from as well as different crochet hooks and knitting needles. You have to experience it for yourself! I love this place.

Always smiling, friendly help. Love the atmosphere in this shop.

Amazing yarns if you are a knitter or crocheted. Love it!

Amazing staff and great yarn selection. Stop in and say hi to Moses, Wendy, or any of the other great members of the staff!

Nice shop with a good variety of yarn. Helpful staff, and comfy seating if you want to stick around.

Experienced, friendly staff! Fantastic selection of yarns and weaving accessories.

I love the selection and prices. Its also neat that they show how much the price is per yarn on the skiens.

My favorite LYS. They are so helpful, have a fantastic selection of yarn, and have THE best knitting instructor, the wonderful Wendy who knows everything there is to know about knitting.

Im new to the area & new to knitting. Stopped in for a book to help with a new technique and instead was taught he tecnique right there by the shop owne & one of the regular customers. So I bought a different book & some of their awesome sock yarn. What a nice visit!

Melody was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I’ll definitely be back.

Awesome fiber supplies. Knowledgeable, helpful staff.

Great staff! Amazing classes! Even better yarn selection!

This is an awesome yarn store! The women there were helpful and informative and incredible!

I went in today and loved the store! The staff was lovely and helpful, In fact Im going in for a class this week!

Nice staff. Had the pickup sticks for Schraft Flip loom that I needed.

We were blown away at the selection and prices. Surprise find!

I visited Yarnivore twice in the same day, and on the second visit they remembered me. I was truly impressed, and will always make it a stop on my visits to SA.

SUPER EXPENSIVE. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. HOBBY LOBY IS SO MUCH BETTER.

Great selection, great staff, wonderful atmosphere

Great store!!!

Great classes Wendy is the best!!!!
