I visit this shop on my way to the Twin Cities and always have a wonderful experience! The staff goes above and beyond and the selections of yarn, fiber and equipment is out of this world! I so wish I lived closer.

I absolutely love Color Crossing! I live in nearby Hudson, and a member of my church told me about the store a few years ago after I moved here. I guess it was still a pretty new place, but I didn't realize it at the time. I was still a pretty inexperienced new knitter. I had been intimidated more than once upon enter other local yarns shops in the Twin Cities area. That has never been my experience at Color Crossing. The folks who work there, create there, or just hang out are extremely helpful and never make me feel embarrassed about my inexperience. The yarn selection is GREAT, the owner and staff lovely, and the atmosphere inspiring! I took a sock class a few years ago and have had great success since then. For fun I took a weaving class last spring. Just a few weeks ago I bought my first ever spinning wheel and appreciated the chance to try out anything in stock to make sure I was getting the right wheel for me. Getting to any number of fiber shops is easy for me because of my location, but I rarely go anywhere but Color Crossing.

I was searching for yarn shops on Ravelry.com and came across Color Crossing in Roberts WI. Really? In Roberts?!?! Cool! We just happened to be going for a drive that very same day and we stopped in to take a look around. The store is easy to spot with the colorful paint job on the building. We got a spot in front of the shop and wandered in. When you walk in the door there is seating in the entryway. Nice. I noticed a couple of benches outside as well - so if you are inspired you can take a seat and just chill with your knitting/crochet. We stepped into the shop and it was just awesome. Tons of space - neatly organized. Sample projects hanging from the walls. My hubby was impressed as well - being a non-knitter who goes to many a yarn shop with me and built my Knitting Alcove in our basement I value his opinion on such things. They have plenty of room to shop and more than one person can look at yarn at one time. Very nice. I chatted with the lady working the counter area and she let me know the shop had been there 4 years already! How could I have missed this for four years?!!? Very friendly and knowledgable this wonderful lady was. (I forget her name but she was very nice!) When I told her about my sock knitting fiasco where I snapped the needle in half and that I was going to try and learn to knit socks but maybe on circular needles - she told me to stop in on one of the open help days and she would get me going on them. How nice! And did I mention a wonderful yarn selection as well as needles and other fun stuff. I told myself to only spend $20.00 and I ended up at just over $50.00. I can't resist the yummy yarns. I will definetly be back to this shop and am already plotting on taking my mom here to feed her yarn addiction. Yay for Color Crossing!
