Yarn Shops in Montclair, New Jersey

[jpr54_]

I had a chance to visit all three of the yarn shops in Montclair yesterday.

 

They are each different from each other.

 

Stix-n-stitches

211 Glenridge Avenue

973-796-1860

this shop has an at home atmosphere with couches and many women knitting-unfortunately no one was crocheting.

the selection of yarns and books were excellent.

the owner even had a good selection of crochet books.

the owner answered all my questions and was friendly.

 

Modern Yarn

this shop is smaller but also has a great selection of yarn.

in the rear of store is table for customers.

i liked this shop best bcz of owners' attitude and customer service approach.

 

Ely's

this store is much smaller. it has been in montclair for 30+ years. it is also on the same block as Modern Yarn.

owner was friendly and helpful. this is an old time lys

books are older- i was not able to tell how old yarns were but some of them looked dated.

 

I don't think the three stores will survive-interesting that the town has 3 shops
