West 7th Wool

Started knitting recently and stopped by here to grab some yarn for a project I had that none of the craft stores (Michael's, joanns, hobby lobby) had the right yarn weight for. This store is a godsend, and all of the employees were a delight and very helpful. They suggested the group knitting on Thursdays, and thought why not give it a shot. Easily 20 ladies there and had a WONDERFUL time.

I visited West 7th Wool on a rainy afternoon recently while in Fort Worth to attend a professional conference. I found the shop and its owners to be delightful. The shop was spotless, organized, and had a homey feel. It was a pleasure to spend time at a LYS. ❤️

During the pandemic, I've really been trying to support local yarn stores. However, I found that the ones in Dallas 1) don't have functional websites, 2) have barely functional websites that make it hard to navigate their selection online, 3) have a very limited selection with only one or two skeins/hanks per thing, 4) aren't open and don't offer curbside, or 5) a combination of all those factors. West 7th wool has a fantastic website. It's very well designed and very easy to use, even on a mobile phone. They also have a very large selection of yarn. The pictures are well done, so it was really easy for me to tell the true color of the yarn from the website. The descriptions of the yarn are really nice. And overall it was incredibly easy to find exactly what I was looking for, and a compare things that I was considering. Their website is ultimately what made the difference between me choosing to shop at the two stores here in Dallas, or drive an hour to pick up yarn at West 7th wool in fort Worth. The curbside pickup experience was seamless, and my yarn was nicely packaged and ready to go. Because of covid I didn't go into the shop (I think the showroom is closed anyway) but I could tell that it was very nicely organized. Two thumbs up. Great job adapting to the pandemic! And thanks for the awesome yarn.

Love this place. So cozy and inviting. Great selection!

I just started to knitt about a month ago. The owners and staff were very knowledgeable and courteous towards a newbie. The staff women was so inviting and warm. Everyone there were willing to take time and discuss what I wanted to do. Even showed me a finished product that the owner did. He and his wife also were very patient and interacted with my 5 year old son. I normally would not have brought him with me, but sometimes things come up. They played learning games with him at there lounge area. I will be back to there shop because my son and I were treated so well. Thank you!

I always love going in here! They have a big selection of yarn and their in house dyed yarn is gorgeous!

I am ecstatic that I wandered into this store and can't believe I waited so long to go in with it being so close to my office. You could easily spend hours in here looking at all of the gorgeous supplies and perfect yarn for your next project. This will hands down be my go-to yarn store. Buy local, support small business, and do yourself a favor and go meet the wonderful and extremely helpful people here.

I have to say, there is a reason we should all write reviews in these days of Google. I read it, and as we traveled to Dallas/Fort Worth area, picked this particular store based on reviews - and it didn't disappoint! It is all the good stuff mentioned, and more. I liked the history behind the opening, the collection of the yarn was one of the best I had seen (I travel at least 6 times a year, and it's my "thing" to go to yarn stores in every new place, and I've been knitting for over 25 years), the organization, the friendly (but not over-the-top) approach, the set up - it was all A++. I would suggest, if I may, to put printed labels at the cabi tops with the basic yarn description (like: 100% cotton, 100 g, 375 yards) for easier navigation (especially for aging eyes:)). Other than that - thank you! Highly recommend!

I have been coming here for over a year now and I love this store. Everyone is so helpful and very kind, even when I bring in my two little ones with me. The yarn selection is great and the colors are beautiful!

I'll put my 5-star review in with the others...stopped by yesterday to "check it out" and was given a tour immediately. Being a crocheter, I was so pleased to see half of the projects displayed are crocheted! Usually there is a dominance of knitted items in a store like this. I do LOVE knitting, but like to see my own craft given a place, and not relegated to the backseat. So, thank you for that! ;-))) I mainly came to check out the shop, being new to the area, and bought a shawl pin, hat "buttons", and some delicate wash. I felt so welcome in this store and will most definitely be back with patterns in hand for yarn purchases next visit! ~Heidi
