Karey and Karen were fabulous. They spent so much time with us showing different spinning techniques. Wool is beautiful, I can’t get enough of it!

The store isn't as well-merchandised as some yarn shops. It's not as quaint or cozy as other yarn stores I've been in previously. There isn't a huge selection of yarns. They do have hand-dyed yarns but the skeins aren't as unique as other hand-dyed yarns I've seen elsewhere. I didn't see anything super-special in the way of hand-dyed yarn. It was mostly similar to what I have seen before. That said. They do have a fair amount of spinning fiber that you usually don't see a lot of at yarn shops. So that is a plus for this store. The woman who spoke to us and explained the merchandise to us was kind and attentive. She was on-the-ready to answer any questions. They do sell some notions. The alpaca yarn they have was from a farm in Colorado. That is special if you are visiting from out-of-town and want to buy yarn specifically from the state of Colorado. Parallel street parking available in front of the business.

Spinners paradise! Locally dyed fiber and stalwart standbys at reasonable prices. Plus all the lovely alpaca. If you ask, they'll show you photos of each herd member. If you're wheel shopping, definitely stop by and try several different brands, all set up for demos. Weavers rejoice! Looms and classes await! Do not be put off by the vacuum store sign on the building. The yarn shop is to the left, but the stores do connect if you walk in the other door.

I finally made time to take a weaving class from here, and loved the teacher (Mary). It was a nice option that you could rent a loom, which I did, for $15 to use during the class and to use to work your "homework" (basically practicing the basic weaving skills you learned the first day). What I didn't like is they required you to buy the yarn there for the class, and I think this is the first time ever that I didn't get a class discount like 10-20% off on the materials. Also the loom I rented did not have all of the parts so even if I finished my homework early, I wasn't really able to warp another project since I didn't have a threader (during the class I borrowed the teacher's). The instructor, as expected, got us all going pretty quickly. I continued to weave after the 2nd class was done, and recently finished my 2nd scarf. I did get a larger walnut loom and stand that I really love. I can't wait to get going on my next project... Hi Karen, There was not a heddle hook with my loom rental to use even during the class. I borrowed the instructor's (Mary's) to warp my rented loom, so I didn't have one to use to practice warping the loom between the two classes. I was told I needed to buy the yarn there, which even if it isn't required, still would have been nice to get a class discount like most other places do. I am on my 3rd basic weave scarf and look forward to trying out log cabin and herringbone in the future. Thanks for hosting the class.

I have purchased quite a number of braids and gorgeous alpaca roving from Blazing Star Ranch. I have also purchased 3 spinning wheels (I use each one for different types of spinning) from them and have received amazing service and assistance any time I had a question or simply wanted to try out a wheel to see if it would work out for my needs.Karey and Karen have been kind, patient and unbelievably helpful to me. Their selection is fantastic and the prices reasonable. Without reservation, I recommend this store and their awesome staff to any fiber enthusiast. Whether your needs be yarn for knitting/crochet/weaving projects, or fiber/fleece for spinning, the kind staff at Blazing Star Ranch will help you get exactly what you need at a fair price!

What a lovely jewel of a wool shop! Lots of spinning, knitting/crochet, and weaving supplies. They have local wools and bigger brands, and all the equipment you'd want. Super friendly and reasonable prices. Really wish we had a place like this back home.
