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.).
Found this shop as part of the Boston Yarn Crawl and just adore it. They have a huge selection (like 🤯 huge for Boston) and the associates are so sweet! I felt so welcomed and enjoyed every second I got to spend there. 100% will be returning!
I am so thankful for this local craft store! I am a beginner knitter and am always welcomed into the store with open arms. Every associate gives off mom vibes and makes me feel happy and safe. Big projects seem manageable with helpful tips and words of encouragement. Great selection of yarns in different weights and colors. I could happily spend hours here!
A great shop to purchase unique gifts and items. Always someone to help and give personal service when needed. They also have some fun classes. One of my favorite places to shop in Northborough.
I was so impressed with the selection of yarn. I believe I met the owner on my second visit and she is professional and courteous. I wanted to attend classes several months ago but was told the regulars didnt sign up for the next set of classes and that they (employee), would call me in 2 weeks. I never got a call and checked back by phone. The same employee said they still didnt hear back. The second visit was more about the yarn than my wanting to take a class. The only criticism I have is about being escorted through the store and being asked questions about being email subscribed and what yarn I purchased in the past. I have visited other yarn shops in the region and was not treated this way. I live in the Boston region and enjoy visiting small yarn shops in this area because of their unique taste in some of the best yarns. Of all the shops traveled I prefer one in Harvard and I have enough stock to know which I can buy online. To be fair, I understand the stress of challenging times before us. But I also understand that treating all customers with kindness is paramount to the success of any business. In closing, the owner has done a great job building a solid business with a good yarn selection and staff seem knowledgeable about knitting and yarn selections, overall. So I encourage anyone who loves to knit to go there and see for yourself. Its definitely worth a visit.
Craftworks is Awesome!!! Ive taken many great knitting classes there and it is the only place I will go for all of my knitting supplies. The products they carry are plentiful and top notch . Ive also picked up many unique gifts for friends and family. Everything from hand made items such as pottery, hand crafts, candles, childrens things and jewelry.
