Great and friendly knitting store. Friendly staff. I bought the wrong kitting needles and the owner let me return them, no hassle, quick service and a calming environment. Great for craft people and knitting enthusiasts.

Great selection, very sweet staff. I like this place a lot, it is super convenient for getting sewing notions and things when I don’t feel like leaving Greenpoint.

I love shops like these in Greenpoint. I brought my Grandma here while she was visiting to get her some sewing/​knitting supplies. This place made her feel like a kid at a candy shop! I come here myself when I’m in need of some fabric or needles. They have such a wonderful variety of sewing/​knitting supplies (not to mention a cool collection of iron on patches that included a character from Happy Tree Friends). The ladies here really do their best to help you get what you’re looking for.

I’ve been going here for years, but only in a jam. They usually have what I want, but they don’t take credit cards. I need to charge my business expenses because I just can’t keep track of cash receipts. The owner is nice and soft spoken, but I have often wondered if her business is legal. Avoiding taxes and/​or deportation are the only good reasons not to take credit cards these days???

Can anyone tell me if this place is open? The accepted a payment from my fiancée 3 weeks ago and I have not seen any packages! Tried calling there number and they never returned my call. Plus the machine had an automated message of «Hello, No one is available to take your call» which is not what I would expect from a company. I also tried emailing
like it says on the receipt and that was bounced back. Tried emailing through the website and they say to expect a response in 48 hours and 96 hours later I have heard nothing. Tried emailing one more person and I will continue calling but I have little faith at this point. Can’t believe they took the payment of over $ 200.

TL;DR: Beware of the hours listed.
This place must be doing mostly online orders because I rolled by a 12:40 today, when they were supposed to have opened at 11 and it was closed. Called again at 1:40 and just now at 4:20 (hehehehe) and they’re still closed.
Bailing on this place, despite the convenient location. I’m sure they’ll be out of business soon with how Manhattan Ave has been developing lately. A shame, cause it is probably a cute lil ma and pop type place.

Supposedly opens at 11am. I called at 11:10am to confirm it opened at 11. Line was busy. Came out of my way about a mile and a half to buy fabric but the shop was not open at 11: 30am. no sign on the door indicating when they would reopen. it may be a nice shop but is not a reliable business.

A small place that’s jammed packed with supplies. Not only is there an appreciable selection of basic yarns, there is sewing supplies and other peripherals (needles, stitch markers, fabrics, trimmings, etc.)
The prices are very reasonable.
The woman working in the store when I was there was very polite and helpful! I only wish I lived closer…

I needed to replace some buttons on my coat and since I randomly passed this store, I went in. And although the space is tiny, they have all your sewing and hobby needs. They have yarn, buttons, ribbons, trimmings, knitting and crocheting equipment, patterns and style books, and basically anything you need to get your project done.
I found some nice black buttons immediately and the lady in the store was helpful.
Definitely beast going to a place like Michael’s. I love these small mom and pop shops! They have personality and are unique. Let’s not let capitalism and convention kill the creative spirit in all of us!

Reasonable prices, well-​stocked and a block away — what more could I ask for from B.E. Well, posted hours would be cool. But I can deal with it. It’s also so small and full that it can be difficult to find what I need. As the neighborhood flourishes, it’s also seemed busier over the past year and can be difficult to get help from one of the shopkeepers. They are sweet and friendly though. All in all, I am grateful to have this shop in the neighborhood.

A tiny little place, but they always seem to have what I need! Great for smaller sewing notions and accessories, and there’s also a little fabric section in the back with some muslin and calicos. So nice not to have to go into the city for supplies, and the staff is incredibly friendly!

So happy to have a local place to buy yarn. Large selection for such a small store. Some prices were a bit high, but again, local is nice.

Great to have a supply store so close to home; friendly staff…
a bit pricey on things you can obviously get in the city/​garment district (pins, etc) but worth not having to leave the hood.
cash only

Tiny tiny store. Stocked to the brim.
I admit I wasn’t expecting much when I first came into the store. But upon entering, I realized it was just stuffed with notions and yarn. There’s a slightly random case of hairclips and accessories in the front.
If you need closures, buttons, bra straps, ribbons/​trim, I’d be surprised if you couldn’t find something you could use.
I found the steel crochet hooks I was looking for, along with a modest selection of lace thread (modest in terms of brand selection, not color or size). Obviously in a store this size you won’t find everything you’re looking for all the time, but it comes close.
