Bazaar Girls Yarn Shop - Port Townsend (WA)

2 /5 Sharon Travers: I went in yesterday to find some yarn. I was not greeted when I entered, and the store was empty besides me. I asked the woman at the counter about needle sizes and she was abrupt and quite rude. I was taken aback and said something to her about her behavior. Instead of taking responsibility or having any introspection, her response to me was “I’m sorry you felt that way!” I wanted to buy some yarn but I put away my potential purchases and left. Won’t be going back.

5 /5 Organized All: We got to visit this yarn store 2 years ago and I will think about it all the time. The yarn is beautiful. The team members that work there were kind, collaborative, they even offered to unwind my yarn so it was easier to use. If the amazing yarn selection isn’t enough they had the cutest decor I have ever seen, the cutes back patio with amazing plants, a kid section that was priceless, and amazing accessories (hand made knitting needles, etc). This is the best yarn shop I have ever been to.

4 /5 L R: I have been knitting and crocheting for a long time, and I absolutely love supporting small local yarn shops. I am however, quite young for the typical knitter, and I probably dont come across as experienced at first glance. I came into this store to purchase some hanks for a fair isle sweater im designing. I didnt know what colors I needed yet, and I just wanted to see what was in stock. I felt like when I came into the store I wasnt treated with the most kindness. I know, I look young and inexperienced, but I knew I had to place a pretty big order. I felt bad talking to the staff and asking questions, and I could tell there was some possible annoyance with my order. With the yarn hanks, I do not have the supplies at home to wind it myself. I asked the lady working if it would be ok if they did it for me, and I could tell they were either very overwhelmed or annoyed. The store was not busy. I apologized and said I was sorry for my order, and left feeling like I was a bother to the staff. I still spent a lot of money, but felt like I annoyed the team by asking for my yarn to be wound up. Overall this place was beautiful, and I will be back to get more yarn. Thank you for the beautiful materials, and to the staff that helped!

5 /5 Zorina Barker: What a selection! Wool to spin, drop spindles, all manner of yarn and thread and doo-dads. Books if you lack ideas for dressing your pooch. Carrie was kind and helpful and not in my business as I was looking and touching. Just a fun and comfortable store all the way around.

5 /5 Mary “Ginger” McKey: A wonderful shop with extensive inventory, including more roving for felting than ive seen elsewhere. On a whim, I stopped by for one of their Thursday night get-togethers when passing through town. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. Its worth checking out if you like to knit, crochet or felt!
