FiberWild!, Galena

Love this store. Every time I am in Galena, I make a point to stop here. Have bought wonderful yarn and kits here, as well as a gorgeous woven shawl. It was made by a local fiber artist. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They carry hand spun yarn as well. It was such a beatiiful yarn and worked up into wristlets that I was proud to wear. The yarn was by a talented local woman named Suzy the Shepherdess. I would recommend this place to everyone that loves to knit as I do. They had several other fun items like artisan needles and shawl pins. Even if you don't knit, stop in to see a wide array of finished products for sale also. Can't wait for my next trip!

I was looking for a particular brand of yarn not available locally, and I saw that FiberWild! carried it in multiple colors. I had an idea about what three colors would look good in this striped shawl but I was working from photos off of the Internet. The young woman (sorry but I cannot recall her name) was SO very helpful. She went and pulled the colors off the shelf and put them together at her counter so I could get her opinion about they looked. She said they looked great. She was right. They do look great. I would say the service is very helpful and courteous. She took a lot of her time to help me make the right choice.
