Yelp.com Review - by Jenny C.

1.0 of 5 stars. Worst experience ever! I've been there 3-5 times and each time I left with an uncomfortable feeling in the pit in my stomach mainly about the way the owner treated my visit. Decided to take my Mom...

Yelp.com Review - by Melia J.

4.0 of 5 stars. Cottage Yarns is a good place to buy yummy yarn. There's isn't a lot of room, so its business only and no play. Katherine is wonderful to me every time, isn't snobby, and hasn't ever pressured me to...

5.0 of 5 stars. I can't really say enough good things about my experiences at Cottage Yarns - while I live in the East Bay, it is truly one of my favourite yarn shops in the Bay area. I was introduced to Cottage...

Yelp.com Review - by murphy f.

1.0 of 5 stars. I loved cottage yarns until the owner took advantage of me. I was making a blanket and wasn't sure how much yarn I needed. She told me its better that I buy a whole bag (10 skeins) of each color (3...

4.0 of 5 stars. I've been going to Cottage Yarn since 1997, way before the days of Imagiknit and Noe Yarn. They have a wonderful selection of yarn but presentation does leave something to be desired. Yes, this is...

3.0 of 5 stars. I've taken SO's mom here on more than one occasion and am always impressed by their vast selection. I think they're kinda expensive and agree that pricing is not transparent.

Yelp.com Review - by Judith C.

1.0 of 5 stars. It's very good to know that there's a yarn store in South City - it can save a trip into SF or further south and there's some reasonable yarns here. However the stock is crammed in and the lighting...

If you know what you want, this is the place

The only time I went to Cottage Yarns was when they were having a sale, so it was extra crowded, but it is so packed with yarn and shelves that you can't move around. They also take the yarn out of th...

Kind of crowded by E M. at InsiderPages

I am not a fan of this yarn store, because they display their yarns in the bags they came in. I want to touch and see yarn when I'm going to a store, and this just didn't do it for me. They have a really small...
