perfect shop for someone who does not like to figure anything out, does not do any finishing; in other words someone who is not really a knitter but wants to wear hand knit items

Take a lesson from Nordstrom. by Guest G. on 3/30/2011 via Judy's Book
I gave up on this yarn shop years ago. I felt like I was being shunned from the time I entered the shop. I don't understand their staff - customer relationship. I spend my yarn dollars at shops where I am treated respectfully, Maybe…

Rude staff by Walliemoe on 11/10/2008 via Citysearch
Compared to other knitting shops in Seattle, Tricoter has the worst service I have seen. There were at least five staff members there when I went in but I still waited over 10 minutes at the register for someone to check me out. The…

Frigid, even in the heat of August. by mesembrianthemum on 6/6/2008 via Citysearch
I don't believe I've ever had someone make me feel like the ladies at this shop did. I went to this place with my mother, who dresses somewhat similarly to them, and they still followed me like I was stuffing my pockets with every ball of…

One of my favorite shops by l w on 5/21/2008 via Insider Pages
I love this shop for his great service and atmosphere. You can always find unique and lovely yarns for projects such as Sock That Rock and Handmaiden Cashmere. \r \r The staff will answer your questions and help you with projects without…

Tricoter is the best!!! by jason v on 5/20/2008 via Insider Pages
I've been visiting Tricoter regularly for several years now and love the store above all else. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to help anyone who walks in the door. Unlike many other stores, Tricoter encourages customers to "try the…

nice yarn shop. I don't think reviews are fair with the friendly/snobby issues by Amanda R. on 4/19/2008 via Judy's Book
I have shopped at several LYSs in Seattle. In not a single one, have I been asked if I want help right off the bat when I enter. Many shops probably want to let their customers feel free to browse unhindered. Which is what I want to do…

Forget This LYS! by Christine S on 1/8/2008 via Insider Pages
I do not wear diamonds, pearls, & 4-inch heels to go shopping. I wear comfortable clothes (mostly jeans) & carry my large LLBean canvas bag to put my purchases in.\r \r I went to Tricoter, spent 45 minutes there. Not one person asked if…

worst LYS ever by Erin D on 12/20/2007 via Insider Pages
Honestly, maybe if you have lots of money and (more importantly) LOOK like you have lots of money you'll get good customer service. I can't tell you the number of people I know who've been either ignored or treated dismissively by…

My Favorite Knit Shop by jason v. on 7/30/2007 via Judy's Book
As an accomplished knitter, I want a yarn shop with a variety of fibers and colors, as well as courteous and knowledgeable employees. As a male knitter, I want a yarn shop that doesn't assume I'm someone's lost husband. I like to walk…

not bad but not my favorite place by jill g. on 1/4/2006 via Judy's Book
i've only been knitting for about a year but have had the chance to visit many knitting shops, and tricoter was a decent enough experience.i was helped instantly even though there was a class in session *and* a lot of people just sitting…

The best knitting store ever. Period. by gayle h on 10/4/2005 via Insider Pages
Tricoter is the best knitting store. Period. The smallish space is sensibly and artistically designed to display one innovative idea after another. The philosophy at the shop is "anything is possible" and they offer the technical support…

Chilly staff, beautiful yarns. by Katherine S. on 9/8/2005 via Judy's Book
I would never go here if I wanted personal attention or help on a project. They will warm up to the local Wash-Park-ites (maybe wear your tennis outfit?) and store regulars, but not if they don't know you. Otherwise, they do have lovely…

A Special Place for Knitters by Molly H. on 9/7/2005 via Judy's Book
Tricoter is getting a bad rap and I feel like I should chime in. I have been seriously knitting for 15 years now and Tricoter is a mainstay in my knitting repetroire and here is why:You need to know that knitting a sweater is going to…

Definite Pros and Cons by Ann M. on 9/6/2005 via Judy's Book
If you're looking for high-end, expensive yarn, this is the place. It's hard not to want lots of it, but you'll have to open your wallet wide to go home with all that you'll end up with on your wish list. But specialty yarns are…

I'll pass, thanks by Colleen H. on 8/26/2005 via Judy's Book
I had heard the rumors before I visited Tricoter -- that the staff were snooty and if you didn't dress/look a certain way, you wouldn't get any attention. But a coworker told me she had been taken good care of, so I decided to see for…

Customization by Jill W. on 8/21/2005 via Judy's Book
Tricoter is full of luxurious yarns at luxurious prices. Known at least as much for its customization as its product, Tricoter enables a knitter to purchase a sweater’s worth of yarn, receive a complimentary custom-made sweater pattern,…

Surrounded by wool but it feels cold by Betty J. on 8/20/2005 via Judy's Book
Tricoter is located just past the south entrance to the Arboretum on Madison street. It's right on the dividing line between low-rent and Madison Park, but has it's character in the high-rent part of town. You walk in and see a bunch of…

Pretty yarn, snooty staff by Tony D. on 7/6/2005 via Judy's Book
I don’t care how lovely the yarns are if the staff within the yarn shop is only selectively helpful to people. My wife went into Tricoter for some yarn, and was hard-pressed to find anyone to help her. When she finally found someone to…

A Sad Yarn by Tony D on 6/24/2005 via Insider Pages
You can find pretty yarn at most yarn shops. What a person really needs to find are staff members who are not only knowledgeable but willing to share the wisdom of their experiences. You would be hard-pressed even to get a "hello" from any…
