Yardgoods Center Yarn Department

Great store with a wide variety of fabric and supplies. The people are also very nice. They also have a yarn store section of the store. They will also sharpen scissors and clean machines. Overall a fun place to go to get supplies of all types. Update: We went again, and the overall feel in the store has changed. The staff might have undercut the yardage and wanted to get us out the door as quickly as possible. The staff wasn't knowledgeable about quilting techniques and the stuff they are selling. There were several times I or other people asked questions, and they had to look it up on their phones. At checkout, they doubted we could pay because my mom started the checkout process, and I ran into the bathroom. I had the credit card, and they were very rude about it. The stuff they have is good quality, just not the best employees. They also don't do machine repair.

Wonderful yarn center. Excellent service and very attentive staff. Hal’s the store is dedicated to yarn crafts and half is dedicated to fabric crafts. Stopped in because they were listed on the Maine Yarn Cruise. They are located about an hour and a half away from where we were staying but well worth the drive. They have everything, needles patterns, tools, and a lot of local yarns. They offer classes and have wonderful spaces for such. I look forward to returning there next year.

I was thrilled to find this fabric store with lots of interesting fabric and notions. But I’m sure glad I looked at this before going there a second time, the fabric store is only open Friday and Saturday??? Yikes! So glad I didn’t go all the way out there for nothing.

This shop is going through major renovations and a big sale on cabinets and machines. The yarn portion has its own entrance now. Lots of boxes to navigate around.

This is one of the finest yarn stores you can imagine. The different lines of yarns, the patterns and the knowledgeable staff will leave you SO happy you made the trip!

This place is great, the lady's are very helpful/friendly and our transaction was handled the old fashioned way, word of mouth was a binding contract, (no paper work. I was having a bowling bag personalized). The lady said to come back on Wednesday and it will be done, and it was, great price and quality work!. Nice to see a place of business conducts themselves in this manner!. TY Yardgoods!.

Very nice quilt shop with loads of inventory…fabric, thread, notions and Bernina machines too. Many designers, styles and color choices. Management was very hospitable and catered to our bus tour/shop hop. Will definitely be back!

Just incredible! The amount of stock and how beautifully it is curated make this a destination yarn and fabric store. This was my first time in. It won't be my last. Loved it, and Joyce, the owner, too!

Owner gave me a parking ticket for parking in front of his store to eat next door very strange attitude and cursed me out as I was leaving would not support

We stopped in here while exploring downtown before a concert at a local venue. It is housed in a large building, with the business being divided over two floors into four departments. There is a sewing division, which we walked through to get to the yarn store. And there is a store with internal decor and a fourth section that escapes me at the moment. We only explored the yarn store as that is my wife's interest. There is a huge selection and, while we were there, knowledgeable and helpful staff (though the person who we interacted with seemed to be an owner). We were given a few freebies as first time visitor as, and suggestions for projects for my wife was she revealed her interests. It was a satisfactory visit for her and I expect we will be back someday when we pass through Waterville and have extra time for it.

My favorite stop in Waterville. They have yarn from ME as well which makes special projects. Very helpful and kind staff. Every type of yarn and needles you may need. I look forward to visiting every year.

Donor use them for sewing machine repair . It's a scam . I paid close to 100.00 for a tune up abd the machine came back unchanged. Took it to a repair shop near Auburn , me. Machine completely tuned

This place has the best selection of fabric and craft supplies in town. I always check here first, and if they have it it's cheaper than elsewhere. The people are a little cool, but warm up if you come in and say hi enough. It's a go-to spot for sewing supplies and hosts regular knitting/quilting/beading meetups I think. They give pretty good advice and are creative about finding solutions for whatever problem you might be trying to solve.

Store is dated, but the yarn & fabric supplies are incredible. Best choices in the Waterville area. The owner on the yarn side is chatty & can be overwhelming but she's very nice & knows her business. The other ladies are very knowledgeable as well. The owner on the fabric side could use a little of the yarn lady's personality, but he knows his machines & fabrics. Very nice, but very quiet. Prices are reasonable for quality products. My favorite!!!

The yarn side is FANTASTIC - great service, great selection, good sales, lots of help available. There's full supplies for knitting, felting, rubber stamping, with more downstairs: embroidery/crewel/needlecraft. You will be able to find the hot new thing, and frequently some odd new interesting technique or material you haven't heard about yet. The proprietor is very social - remembers her customers, takes and posts pictures of the stuff her customers make, runs frequent craft classes and events. She knows what I like to buy, and keeps it in stock.. She points out similar less expensive alternatives at times. She's had me look in her catalog to let her know my color preferences. And I only visit maybe 6 times/year and spend less than $100 usually. Prices are competitive, always lots of interesting samples to check out, free patterns, etc. You may have to wait a few minutes to ring out as there's usually only a couple of sales people and they are very customer-service oriented. The fabric side is sad. They used to be THE BEST in Central Maine but the shelves keep getting emptier and the selection keeps going downhill. They have not restocked the quilt fabrics in a long time so what left gets more and more dated. There is a handful of other fabrics - fleeces, cordoroy, a few prints, a few OK jerseys. But you can't find the nice jerseys that you need for the fashionable clothes today. The wools and Liberty lawns are beautiful but expensive and have been sitting there for years - never a sale. They have some nice quilting books, quilt fillings, and a fine selection of thread. They don't sell sewing patterns. They have an wide selection of somewhat dated buttons - not trendy. There's a basement full of upholstery fabric...maybe that's their passion. They sell a nice looking ranges of sewing machines but the salesman shoo's me away when I try to look. Even after I explained I was looking for a new machine, he didn't help me find one - he just guarded the machines. So I went elsewhere.
