Gift Shops in Northborough, MA

“I love this crystal shop! Every time I stop in there is something new and beautiful to buy. I especially like the crystal bracelets with smaller diameter beads than I usually see in other stores.”

“This is more than a yarn store, even though that's why I was there. They have an excellent collection of yarns to choose from, well organized by weight and color, though it can be a little frustrating if you're trying to locate multiple colors of the same yarn. However the staff makes up for this with how friendly and helpful they are. They have good recommendations as well.In addition to yarns, they have a collection of locally made goods. They have some home sewn items as well as local jellies, jams, and preserves. There are always a selection of baking mixes as well. There is a lot to choose from, giving the whole place a country craft vibe.There are classes, workshops, and knit-alongs offered, as well as a program that offers badges for skill completion, which is a fun tie back to scouting days. The whole vibe is welcoming and enjoyable.This also may not matter to some, but I've had some challenges being of a more alternative appearance in shops in the past because of my piercings, tattoos, and less conventional fashion. Perhaps it's the lack of constantlu wearing knit goods... Mostly this comes in the form of people expecting I know nothing about crafting, but it gets under my skin because I've been knitting for over 15 years, though I don't keep much of what I make or only use it with historic dress. However, here I've been given a good reception, and while there have been questions about my experience, it's never an assumption, and generally it's with the express purpose of guiding me towards selections that would meet my needs, or to suggest ideas for new techniques or tools that would appeal to my skill level. It's a refreshing change.”
