Melanie Jones: I loved shopping in person at Spun and still do when I make it back to MI. They're also fantastic for online shopping too. They have a great selection of yarn and other items and will answer any of your questions.

Sandra Renee: Nice variety and helpful staff. Prices are expensive, but that's pretty typical for specialty yarn.

JuliAnne Diesch: Exquisite local yarn store - well-stocked and organized. They offer yarn winding services, a customer loyalty program, and an array of classes. These often fill quickly, so sign up for their newsletter to be notified of events!

Michael Zhu Chen: Spun is such a wonderful place! The staff are super welcoming and friendly and really attentive to the needs of their customers. They even have locally sourced Michigan yarn donated by local sheep. Make sure to ask Laura if you have any questions, she's great! The place to go to find yarn to meet any yearning!

Jason Shuherk: Big store stocked up for the yarn lover! My wife NEVER leaves empty handed.

Anna: This is my favorite yarn store! All of the staff are friendly and helpful. I had a lot of questions about which interchangeable knitting needles would be the best fit for me, and an employee here walked me through the process of choosing the right set.

Jean Holt: Beautiful location! Not crowded at all! And the variety of yarn and other fiber crafts is incredible! I love Spun!

Kate S: Great selection, fantastic staff!

Ashley Huizinga: This place is so great! It’s one of the best yarn shops I have been to. The ladies were so helpful, the selection of yarns, materials, and books is extensive. Everyone was so willing to help me and I am so grateful as I am a new-ish knitter. I would love to have a shop like this in Tampa!

Linda Dayne: My new go-to place to get all my knitting supplies. So helpful & courteous with workers that go out of their way to offer suggestions. Not pushy, just helpful!

Lissa: Helpful staff. Also has felting, spinning and weaving supplies.

Stephanie Benedict: Beautiful store with friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Hazel Bodner: The yarn collection here is vast! Lots of choices. And the entire store is sorted by yarn weight. Helpful staff answered all my questions. There are garments made up with the yarns, which helps illustrate what the yarn can do. There are a couple of areas to sit and knit too. I always stop here when in town visiting.

Kay Varosi: Charming decor, relaxing and pleasing. With clearly labeled rows of yarn and fiber products. Very helpful staff.

Gabi Fracassi: Rick worked on my sewing machine and did a fabulous job. Fixed things that I didn’t even know needed fixing. Very sweet, fabulous service. Rick is a real pro. 100/10 would recommend.

Gabriella Brandt: Rick was so kind and fixed my sewing machine right when I arrived, explained the whole thing to me, and even replaced me needle for free. Love this store!

Denise Atherton: Great shop with beautiful fabric and helpful staff

Jacqueline Wilson: Each time that I have gone, the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Love the fabric choices too!

Madeleine Moir: I went into the store looking to get my machine fixed. I'm a new sewer and bought a used machine and wasn't even sure if it was worth fixing.Not only did they manage to fix my machine for no charge (it just needed a bit of oil), they helped me understand what level of machine I had, and I signed up for their Sew My First Quilt class next month.Everyone working there was kind and knowledgeable. They helped me get only the supplies that I need to get started, and did push me into anything more advanced (at one point even talking me out of impulse buying a project well beyond my current level).I will definitely be back and am recommending them to anyone I know that wants skilled helped from nice people.

Kathleen Reff: Update to original ratingThank you Ann Arbor Sewing Center! It was a great pleasure visiting you and getting some really awesome fabric. I can’t wait to get my projects started. I look forward to seeing y’all again in the spring or maybe a class. Great time, great selection, great people. Also I look forward to posting on your Instagram #annarborsewingcenterKathleenAs a new person that just came into town, I felt so unwelcome at this store. The person with 19 antique sewing machines felt it was necessary to show off her collection after I just lost mine in a flood. Not only was the staff unfriendly to new people who moved to town, but the staff felt it was necessary to cut up kits instead of showing off their new fabric they get in every week. Very disappointed and hurt. Never going back to Ann Arbor Sewing Center. I will not go to a place that makes me feel judged for not having a quality sewing machine. The staff handled my problem very poorly. Thank you everyone their making my first experience in your store the worst one. I will take my millennial self back to Joann’s and Michaels…They have a place for me there. 😿 Good luck Ann Arbor Sewing Center in staying in business

Laura Koch: This place SAVED my old sewing machine! It died on me in the middle of a project, and although it’s not an expensive machine, it is still one I had hoped to use for a few more years, or at least to finish this project. I took it in (didn’t think to call for an appointment, just did a walk-in), and they were able to get it going again (with lots of oil…my fault for not keeping up with maintenance!). Many many thanks, will definitely be returning for fabric/supply shopping, and to purchase a new machine when the time comes.

Jennifer Langridge: One of my favorite local quilting stores!! I’ve been shopping here for over 10 years. They carry a wide range of fabric from traditional to batiks to modern. They even carry the entire line of Kona solids. I especially love their selection of children’s quilting cottons. I also bought my Bernina sewing machine from them and only trust them with it (I’ve tried 3 other stores but none hold a candle to AASC). It is worth the 1.5 hour drive one way! They have a quick turn around for repairs/cleaning and don’t try to upsell you during routine maintenance.They also have a large selection of patterns and notions and they also offer classes. Fabric is organized and the staff is super friendly and helpful.Be aware there is a flight of stairs to climb from the parking lot. If you have a handicap sticker for your car be sure to park out front. A restroom is located on site.

Vonalyn Swan: Great shop with great fabrics and very pleasant workers.

unsatisfied99: Kind of an oddball little place. There are probably five or six levels. Some are only a step or two up, others are half of floor up. Lots and lots of choices of fabric. Some good fabric choices.Lots of notions and accessories. The staff was very helpful and seemed knowledgeable.It is worth a visit if you are experienced at sewing or even just a beginner.The parking lot is behind the building and the traffic flow is a little bit out of the ordinary. Follow the arrows on the pavement.

V.T. HOPKINS: I've visited twice in the last 2 months. My first time was to have my machines serviced for the first time after years of sitting unused and never serviced before. Rick was great checked them out and oiled them. Told me that the piece on my serger could be bought online and how to add it. I didn't trust myself to do called him last Friday and he told me to come in Monday afternoon in he would look at it. He popped it on within 2 minutes for free. Everyone in the store is super friendly and helpful your greeted soon as you enter. I will be a returning customer for sure. Thank You Rick 😊 Ann Arbor Sewing Center see you again soon!!! Glad I discovered you

Kate: The workers are very nice and helpful, it's easy to find the things you're looking for and there are many options of fabric to choose from. Overall a great place for crafts and sewing projects!

Samantha Wilkerson: Rude staff ordered a online pick up just a hot glie gun and some glue sticks. They canceled the hot glue gun and gave me the sticks. Was told the gun was out of stock. Ordered the same gun in a different order same day 5 minutes after I picked up the first. Lazy rude staff will be going to canton or Jackson or hobby lobby

Cupid Valentine: I love this store , they have great selections and most of the employees are really awesome. I would give this store five stars but there are..some employees in the store I have issues with. While I was shopping I overheard one of the mangers (Threasa) yelling at an employee on the sales floor. Just ripping into the poor kid and being really nasty. I haven't really stopped in since.i usually like this store alot better because the staff are way nicer than at ypsilanti and it's a smaller store which helps with my anxiety. But after hearing that women just be well... not so nice to her staff. I don't know if I'll shop there while she's in the store.Props to the rest of the employees though. Good luck!!

Marty Murray: I asked if they could cut 5 yards of material at 1 yard increments, I was told no they could only cut it at 5 yards. The reasoning for this is because i cant cut a straight line to save my life, but I figured I had no choice, even bought a $25 dollar set of scissors to give it a try. I messed it all up cutting it to short and wasted $75 in material. Come to find out amazon will cut it this way for and are cheaper. Lesson learned

Cindy Ziegler: Great staff

Marilynn Thomas: Great selection of fabric. Craft section not so much.

Lily Lee: Love this store! Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of craft ideas and supplies plus home decor.

Mark Erichson: It's what I expected; had been there before. Selection of the craft products I came in for was decent, not great. More are available on their website, but I pretty much needed to see them in person. A happy surprise was that they were on a good sale. Not many staff, but the two I tracked down were friendly and helpful. Store was nicely organized, fairly well stocked.

hong le: Like

Neha: Best place to get stuff related art and DIY decor.

Callum Brown: It was hiding down on a lower shelf. The right size, last one, absolutely perfect!!!!!!! I was ecstatic & overjoyed!!!!!

Chris Donoghue: Excellent customer service, slight lack of variety in inventory

Holly Schoenfield: This Michaels location is having some issues.Prices aren't displayed for most items, so you have to find the scanner to learn how much you'll be paying for each time.In an attempt to get clear pricing, I submitted an order online for in-store pickup and they canceled the entire order of 21 items because one item wasn't available.

Terrance W. Hinton: If you're not careful, this place will open all of your creative ideas and possibilities. Then b4 you know it, you've spent a lot of money because of everything that can make life more exciting and wonderful. 👍🏿👍🏿😎

Marcus Clark: The customer service reps are nice but the store is a bit unorganized, under stocked and missing price-tags in a lot of its sections, which in turn made me feel a bit discouraged to shop

Megan East: Clean store. Well stocked. Helpful staff in the store and at register.

Marianne Collier: I forgot, I did go there! Sorry! Excellent! The one young lady asked if I had found everything. I said no & described what I was looking for. She called up front, & then showed me an area that I might find it. & I DID!!! It was hiding down on a lower shelf. The right size, last one, absolutely perfect!!!!!!! I was ecstatic & overjoyed!!!!!

Matthew Reed: Nice to have a place to get craft supplies, but the quality is questionable at best and the store is a bit of a mess
