Always a pleasure! Good variety of yarn textures and color selection, helpful and knowledgeable staff on hand. They're happy to either walk you through all of the yarn and help flesh out your vision, or leave you to browse uninterrupted.

This store has a fantastic selection of yarns (noro, habu, shibui and many more), outstanding selection of buttons! If you are looking for a special button, this is a place! The emoyees are knowledgable
and eager to help, but if you look for a warm and cozy hug and an inviting chat around coffee an...

I love the vibe of this store. I was a complete beginner and I never felt like an idiot here. There is a great mix of people (men and women) old and young. I took a cabled boot cuff class and learned a lot. A real treasure for the knitting community.

One of the BEST yarn stores I've been to. The staff is incredibly knowledgable about fiber and patterns and sizing. Friendly, warm atmosphere with a large yarn selection. Will definitely make special visits to Salt Lake City just for yarn purchasing trips!

This LYS is so charming and full of some of the best yarns, including the recently released and limited run Brooklyn Tweed Ranch 01 line. I came as a visitor to the area and was really impressed - everyone was so helpful and friendly. I purchased a sweater quantity of yarn and after learning that ...

Charming shop full of beautiful yarn, fun knitting accessories, friendly people, and lovely samples. When traveling, I often use Google Maps to find local yarn stores, and this hit was perhaps my best find to date. The employees went out of their way to be helpful with both knitting tips and yarn se...

I'm a local so I can drop into the shop as often as I please, which I do so my review may have some value. Yes, one of the staff do smoke, so it can smell strongly of cigarettes in the shop (but I am very sensitive to the smell anyway). I have met the owner Cynthia and two of her staff. They are con...

A friend of mine frequents Blazing Needles, so I decided to stop by while I was staying briefly in SLC.

Wow.

I cannot say enough about the excellent products or the beautiful space, but the thing that will take me back for years to come will be the outstanding customer service. I spent over an...

My favorite knitting shop in Utah. If you need yarn, they have a great selection. They will also help you pick out your next project. And if you are stuck or need a little help, sit down at the table by the fireplace and either one of the employees or another customer will help you. They offer free...

I have been searching for a yarn shop that fits my needs and THIS IS IT! They are up to date on the brands that they carry and the staff was beyond kind, patient and helpful! I want to kick myself for waiting so long to make the trip up (I live in southern Utah County). I walked in and almost cried...

When I went into Blazing Needles today the owner was extremely unfriendly and cold. She did not like the project I had chosen and was rude and not helpful at all. I have shopped here quite a bit in the past, but after today I will never return to Blazing needles again. I will make the drive to park ...

I have been a regular at Blazing Needles for almost two years, so although you may think I am a little biased, there is a reason that I have been shopping and knitting there for that long!

The store has a great selection of yarn (which for me, means they carry Shibui and Malabrigo) with a lot of ...

I love love love this place. What a gift to our community. I just sent a friend in with a new knitter and she texted me raves. I am always so proud to suggest this beautiful, fun, friendly store. Yarn shops around the country are struggling. It's a hard thing to run a small niche business. I hope ou...

I mostly stop here when my mom is in town and wants to visit. However, staff is always super friendly and remembers us both, asks about projects my mom has been working on, and offers suggestions on things to take a look at that my mom might be interested in.

My favorite knitting store in the country, by far. The staff are friendly, the yarn is beautiful (most of it is very nice yarn and somewhat pricier, but they do have a range of options), the shop is a feast for the eyes and the soul. Little things like the coffee/tea set-up, winding yarn for free (i...

As someone who doesn't really knit and crochet, I would come here to learn how to knit and crochet. They have a rotating schedule of classes you can sign up for. The walls are lined with the best bundles of softness. And the people there are phenomenally helpful.

Great local community of knitters. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great selection of yarn from Malabrigo to Shibui to Quince & Co. And everything in between. Also serve Cafe Ibis coffee! On Saturdays there are free knitting classes for beginners and sometimes free beginning crochet classes offered ...

This is one of the best yarn stores I have ever been to! When I travel I visit the local shops and load up. I was so surprised to find this well stocked shop tucked in to a neighborhood. I would almost travel to Salt Lake just to visit this shop. The staff was very friendly and it was a bright a...

It's a very pretty store in a nice location. They have Lantern Moon brand needles, which is why I went there. I also got the 'we're too cool for you' vibe from the customers sitting working on projects. I felt self conscious because I am a new knitter - but that's really on me, not them.

I phoned BK to see if they carried a particular brand of yarn before I drove the 30 miles to the store. I was told they did and would check with the company to see if they had the dye lot I needed to match an existing project. I decided to go by the store to see if they had something similar enough ...

I have found the staff very helpful. They have helped me a few different times over the phone as well and a...
