Knit, Crochet, Chat and have fun A table to spread out and get help, tons of examples in store to give you ideas, helpful staff and yarn galore. Whether a beginner or advanced there is no better place to go to stock up or get started. All types of yarn in all price ranges. Easy to find in downtown Los Altos.
Not helpful "Hi..do you have this yarn?" I asked, giving a specific brand and critter source and showing a hat made from the yarn.
Nice shop, but... They have a lovely selection of yarns, but I have to say that the staff is not exactly friendly and helpful. As another reviewers said, they make you feel like they are doing you a favor to help you. Though I like the projects and yarns they have, they are not as fashion forward as other shops.
love this shop I've been going to this shop for more than 7 years and LOVE IT. The staff and especially the owner Louise have been so helpful. At first I needed LOTS of help just to pick the right yarn and Louise and her gals were always right there for me. Later they helped me when I messed up a fairly complex lace pattern or when I was REALLY SLOW at learning to knit socks.

Great selection, staff not helpful Uncommon Threads has a terrific selection of yarn and knitting supplies. However, the staff often makes you feel like they are doing you a favor to help you. They do offer a large number of classes.
Yarn store with good selection of yarn As the other reviewers have said, the sales people are not particularly friendly. This has been true for years.
Pretty good selection I haven't really had any problems with the staff at Uncommon Threads, although I have heard some horror stories. They have a lot of Rowan yarns, and standard yarn selections. They also have a large upscale baby yarn selection. I'm guessing that is due to their clientele and what their needs are.
Fun store, not incredibly helpful Usually these little yarn shops have really helpful sales people. But here, the sales people aren't all that helpful. They do have a nice store with some fun yarns. And it's nice that they have a little toy basket to keep the kids busy while I'm shopping. I guess I just wish that the sales people were a little more freindly. I think they offer classes, but I haven't tried them.
