Lots of great selection of yarns. I promised to post a photo of my matching hats, one for person and one for a horse!

Wonderful and helpful staff. Beautiful yarns. I bought the yarn from Craftworks and knit this baby sweater and matching hat. #ButtonedUpKnits.

This is more than a yarn store, even though that's why I was there. They have an excellent collection of yarns to choose from, well organized by weight and color, though it can be a little frustrating if you're trying to locate multiple colors of the same yarn. However the staff makes up for this with how friendly and helpful they are. They have good recommendations as well.In addition to yarns, they have a collection of locally made goods. They have some home sewn items as well as local jellies, jams, and preserves. There are always a selection of baking mixes as well. There is a lot to choose from, giving the whole place a country craft vibe.There are classes, workshops, and knit-alongs offered, as well as a program that offers badges for skill completion, which is a fun tie back to scouting days. The whole vibe is welcoming and enjoyable.This also may not matter to some, but I've had some challenges being of a more alternative appearance in shops in the past because of my piercings, tattoos, and less conventional fashion. Perhaps it's the lack of constantlu wearing knit goods... Mostly this comes in the form of people expecting I know nothing about crafting, but it gets under my skin because I've been knitting for over 15 years, though I don't keep much of what I make or only use it with historic dress. However, here I've been given a good reception, and while there have been questions about my experience, it's never an assumption, and generally it's with the express purpose of guiding me towards selections that would meet my needs, or to suggest ideas for new techniques or tools that would appeal to my skill level. It's a refreshing change.

Nice craft store. Half the store is split for beautiful hanks of yarn, and the other half is gifts.

This shop has so much to offer! Craftworks has amazing handcrafted items that make really great gifts. I love their selection of jewelry, teas, quilted items, lotions and yarn bowls! The yarn section has so many wonderful yarns, fun and unique knitting and crochet kits, great project ideas and classes! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I love this yarn shop-it is my home away from home. There is always something new and fun happening at Craftworks!

I love this shop! The crochet and knitting teachers are wonderful. Everyone is nice and eager to help you with their knowledge and years of experience. I enjoy the drop ins and met friends I enjoy knitting with. They have a ton of samples knitted up so you can see how beautiful the hand dyed yarns knit up. And, they have everything you need (needles, hooks, and several brands of each, all sizes, buttons, markers etc…). I love the craft side too because I love supporting American crafters and this is a perfect place to find that unique perfect gift.

Craftworks is by far my favorite shop. The selection is great, the classes are wonderful, and the staff are both knowledgeable and helpful. Heck, I've had other customers offer help with questions I've had about some of my knitting projects. It's that kind of shop!

What an amazing store. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They continuously add new and fun fibers. It is not the type of local yarn shop you will visit only once because you will want to keep coming back week after week. They continuously have new and different projects. They also have a wonderful gift shop with different and beautiful handcrafted items. This shop is very much worth visiting.

I am so pleased that I found Craftworks in Northboro, MA, a few years ago! Several of the beautiful and unique items in the gift shop grace my home & garden, and my daughters’ homes in Maine and Germany. The offerings are ever-changing, and run from handcrafted jewelry, to holiday decorations, to uniquely crafted and useful home & garden items. Craftworks has become my go-to shop for gifting for the holidays!In addition, as a recently-retired teacher, I was looking for a community to bond with, and some support to return to a long-put-off hobby: knitting! I signed up for a knitting class mid-pandemic, and was delighted when a space opened up in March 2021. The class, Beginner & Beyond, is designed to meet learners where they are in a friendly and welcoming environment. The talented instructors are dedicated to teaching skills and encouraging class participants to take a risk, while supporting them in a kind and positive manner. They also offer free knitting/crocheting Drop-In Socials to meet new people at all knitting/crocheting levels, make new friends with a common interest, and get a little help on your current project. The shop is well-stocked with all types, weights, and colors of yarn, books and patterns, an assortment of buttons, and a wide variety of needles and knitting supplies.Craftworks is a local gem, and I encourage area residents to stop in and peruse the gift shop, sign up for a knitting or crocheting class, make new friends, and ‘shop locally’ to support this exceptional local business! (Check their website for other art & fiber offerings, too.).
