I am a yarnaholic and like to collect more than I actually use but, that's another story.... Piney Creek came up as a near me recommendation while I was waiting for a friend to have a dental procedure done so, of course, I had to make a beeline to a new yarn shop I had never been to! The front sign simply says Yarn so, you really can't make it easier to find ;-) I walked in and was quickly greeted by one of the owners and made to feel welcome right away. The shop is quite inviting with the layout of patterns/books, yarn, a work table for classes and lessons in the back, and yarn on top of yarn! The variety of available yarns cannot be overlooked - there truly is something for everyone and every type of project. There is also a very nice selection of roving for spinning, spinning wheels and tools, and of course, all of the knitting/crochet supplies and notions you need. While I do not live close to this area, I will find reason to come back and stop in for sure. It is so nice to find a shop like this with friendly people and familiar customers who come in (I did witness while I was there) and I like to support local, small businesses such as this. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area for a relaxing and enjoyable visit where you will leave feeling like a regular and, I suspect, you will be remembered if you go back.

Cute and cozy yarn shop! Easy to find what you are looking for. I always lose track of why I am there, and end up getting fun project bags, notions, and accessories...especially the fun pins and labels they carry!

Their new location is larger and brighter, but still in the dame shopping complex at the other end. I mist have missed this during previous trips, but in addition to yarn and fiber, they have weaving supplies as well. Cones of Gist 3/2 organic, American cotton. I left for home with a couple of cones to get going on some placemats. Loved that they have Blue Sky Fibers Amble yarn as well. I likely will get more of that wonderful yarn for my next pair 'One Sock' I make. after I finish my current pair. I was just over the moon with all of the very nice products they carry. Amanda, the owner, is super nice and helpful. I will have to check out their events and head over there to hang out more!

I'm teaching myself to knit and stopped at Piney Creek to purchase knitting needles and other accessories. It also gave me a chance to see the different yarns and textures. This is a nice small store. The staff was cordial but I didn't find her helpful. I told her I was teaching myself to knit and what I was looking for and she pointed me in the direction for those items. I was hoping for a bit of help but she seemed in a hurry to get back to her friends. As I was checking out I told her I was thinking of making a beanie for my first project and asked what kind of yarn to use. She told me to pick a pattern first but that was all the help I got. Would have helped to suggest a pattern for beginners and help me pick out the materials I need. Any help at all would have been nice. This is probably a great store for the experienced knitter but not so much for a beginner.

Definitely My LYS! Amanda and Glenda are great resources for techniques, yarn selection, knitting-supply selection. Not to mention the camaraderie of the owners and other knitters during open knits, shopping or just chit-chat. They have also gladly ordered yarn and other supplies any time I've asked. Also a great birthday-month discount. :DThe atmosphere is always pleasant, the store is neatly organized and clean, and I am very comfortable always. I am so pleased Piney Creek has weathered the lockdowns of the past two years. Support your LYS!!!

I just finished taking a class on wheel spinning here with Anne. Oh my goodness, it was so great. I left the class spinning better than I could possibly have expected and the class was so fun. Anne is a great teacher and the shop was a perfect place to take it. Fiber, books, yarn and stuff--Piney Creek has it all!
