I have been to a lot of yarn stores and this is my very favorite! Everyone that works there is super knowledgeable and friendly. They have helped me become a much more confident knitter. When I get stuck, I can go and they always cheerfully help. They have a wide spectrum of gorgeous yarns that change often. Tons of classes on all the fiber arts, both online and in person. What more can you ask for???

I am so thankful for all of the kind and knowledgeable women at The Hands on Knitting Center who have helped teach me to knit. They are so patient and friendly & always willing to help. My daughters and I are all knitting now because of their help. I won’t shop anywhere else for my knitting needs because these women are the GOAT!

My First time there with my husband today, I fell head over heels for this tiny local store. The Women working here were so helpful even while running live streams they offered to help me with my shopping. Prices for the yarn were Reasonably priced and some locally sourced. Definitely covid friendly! If your looking for something different from your average yarn store this is the place to go! Ill be buying my yarn here from now on!

I love this shop. My first visit was a couple of years ago when they had a trunk show. That was awesome! They have a great selection of really nice yarn. Two lovely ladies were a great help to me. They even wound one of my skeins of yarn. I live a thousand miles away but Ill be back next season.

I love this place. Always have a great time looking for yarn. Be prepared to be dazzled and spend some time. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff.

They take careful precautions to prevent the spread of Covid-19 without sacrificing service. Need yarn? They have it. Need help on a new stitch? Theyll provide it. Screw up your project and want to feed it to the garbage disposal? Theyll help you untangle your mess and get you going again. They also teach online classes, you can order your yarn online and pick it up (already wound) with little to no contact. Great shop, great people!

Friendly staff, good selection of quality yarn.

What a wonderful place this is I called ahead to make sure they were open they close between 2 and 3 for cleaning each day Patty was the lady who helped me and she was amazing my project is a baby blanket and I had dropped a bunch of stitches and didnt know how to get them back fixed my work and showed me how to fix it myself she wouldnt accept any money just asked me to come back and buy something next time I will certainly be going back she was knowledgeable friendly and knows her knitting

Looked for 3 years for a shop like this and now I have found it. I will be back often. THANK YOU!! SB

Friendly and very helpful staff. Love their selection of beautiful yarns.

I absolutely love everything about this yarn shop. Everyone is welcome and treated like one of the family when you walk through the door. Fabulous selection of yarns and spinning fiber. Spinning classes, felting, dying, knitting, crochet...you name it!

Great friendly and helpful shop.

I travel frequently and visit many yarn stores. Hands On Knitting center is by far the most, helpful and Friendly. Last night I called with a question and Diane spent 15 minutes on the phone with me. Then today when I visited the store Molly “heard” my preferences for yarn and I left feeling confident I had just the right yarn for my next project.

I needed to get a few supplies for a new project and wanted to go to an actual store instead of buying on line. This was my third visit to HOKC. I was wondering if the two previous visits were out of the ordinary. But nope. Every time I walk in the door I find friendly people and help if I need it without feeling pressure. It’s a wonderful place. The quality of the yarn, as well as the notions, is excellent. They even wound my skein for me. I love this store.

Wonderful place! Owners invite you in, extremely friendly, offer much helpful information in any needleart.. spinning, knitting, crochet, weaving.. beautiful yarns and other products. Classes are very good.. definitely a great place to learn. And a friendly gathering of folks bringing their work and friendship here. People freely share. A store, and a supportive community.

Hot tea always ready... comfy chairs to sit and knit, ready. Friendly faces, always welcome the second you walk in. This is my heaven. Delectable yarns, abundant tools, artisans of any fiber related craft always on hand. Definitely my go to place for all things fiber related.

Love this place!! Ive been knitting for about 7 months now and the people here have always been so helpful and nice whenever I need help figuring out problems with my knits, how to do new techniques, and for finding the right yarn for my projects. I also love that they encourage you to sit and knit with the other people there and are always so welcoming. I recommend people of all skill levels to visit here...you wont be disappointed.

Knowledgeable gals can answer all your questions and the selection of yarn is amazing!!

Such great, friendly, and helpful staff here! It was a pleasure to just watch the customers who came in get such great service. I, myself, hung out and knitted while a friend took a class, and I got some good advice and much needed supplies to go along with the enjoyable experience.

You can learn how to knit or crochet here, either with scheduled classes or by buying yarn and hooks/needles and asking for help. I went when I was working on a new crochet pattern and needed other experienced eyes to look at my work to make sure I was on target. About twelve women of diverse ages and backgrounds were sitting around a large table, all knitting (I was the only one doing crochet). They talked and helped each other. Coffee, tea, and snacks were available for purchase.

I would tell others about the shop

The shop was easy to find. I was greeted immediately and asked if I needed help. There were approximately 20 patrons seated at a large table working on various projects. I found the staff and other crafters friendly and willing to help any one with questions. The yarns were luscious and enticing for new projects. I am very pleased to have tried this shop.

This is an awesome shop with wonderfully warm welcoming people. My husband is working in the Redlands area for a few months and while visiting him I visited this shop. They have a beautiful selection of yarn and the knitting table full of people knitting was wonderful. This shop is definitely worth a visit but you may become hooked and visit more often.

I HAD MY FIRST BEGINNERS KNITTING CLASS WITH SUE LAST THURSDAY, IT WAS WONDERFUL. SUE HAD SO MUCH PATIENCE. I JUST NEED A COOK AND HOUSEKEEPER SO I CAN SPEND MORE TIME KNITTING. I LOVED THE PEOPLE, AND THERE ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL THINGS TO KNIT. SEE YOU SOON HANDS ON KNITTING. BETTY

The ladies there are all so welcoming and very helpful. I took in my Hanks to get wound and they were done in five minutes, or it seemed like five minutes and I had one that was all tangled up and Diane took the time to untangle it !!! I would recommend this shop to anyone who loves good quality yarn and a friendly atmosphere.

I cant say enough about my experience at Hands on Knitting. Sharon, Sue and Molly are some of the best instructors Ive ever had. They are patient, kind and always make themselves available to assist you. Ive met many wonderful women and feel a strong sense of camaraderie with them as well as with our instructors. I knew nothing about knitting before I came to Hands on Knitting and have made a great amount of progress. My knitting classes are part of my weekly routine and always look forward to coming. They carry the best yarns available and all the tools necessary for your needs. Join and have a great experience!!By: Gloria B.

This place is adorable and so welcoming! There was a whole group knitting when we came in and they all said hi even though weve never been on before. They invited us to all their events and were super encouraging. My gf and I came in for her spinning supplies and they had some. Which is rare so we cant complain, but wed love to see more selection. The lady that helped us was super sweet and friendly. We will be back!

Very nice selection of yarn. Friendly customer service. Lessons and help readily available for projects.

Warm and friendly atmosphere; very helpful; greeted me as soon as I walked in; all the ladies knitting there were very nice, willing to tell me about what they were doing and how they like the needles they were using. I look forward to going to their Wednesday night knitting session! I would recommend this lovely yarn shop to anyone interested in weaving or knitting.

Hands on Knitting is a delightful place to learn to knit. The store associates are knowledgeable and extremely helpful with any project you are working on. They have a beautiful assortment of yarn and helped me pick the right yarn for the project.

I went for a yarn dyeing class which was great. The people were very friendly and helpful. I will return for other classes in the future. Of course I will make yarn purchases while there.

First time here today. What a warm and lovely shop. Gentle laughter, humor and sage wisdom. Ill be a regular there from now on. See you ladies on Wednesday evenings for the Knit & Knatter. Will not attend next week, taking my two granddaughters to Morro Bay on a road trip! See you soon.....again thank you so much.

This review is long overdue! I just can’t say enough good things about HOKC! First off I hope all the fiberistas in Redlands can appreciate how lucky they are to even have a LYS and an extraordinary one at that! Some of us have to drive in for the wonderful yarns and classes. All of which change often enough to satisfy any wool crafters wishes! The selection of yarns is awesome. The tools are excellent and the expertise is as broad and varied as the wonderful women who make this place so special! A special shout out of appreciation to Molly, Diane, Kathy, Myrna and especially to Peggy who’s weaving classes opened up a whole new world that I didn’t even know existed with the rigid heddle loom! Anyone wanting instruction in any yarn crafting skills couldn’t find a better and more varied outlet then this wonderful place.

This store has THE most beautiful yarns. That and the owner herself and the people who work here sit and chat with you and truly are passionate about knitting. I love this place. ❤️

So very friendly and helpful. Prices were great. I will definitely be going back.

The staff is friendly and welcoming. Its a nice clean place with a great selection of quality yarns hard to find other places.

Friendly and helpful staff and customers. A very pleasant time. Well worth my 2 hour travel time.

Molly is a liar who promised to replace charityHats in October to knots of love. My hats wereGiven away to some other person, not the cancer group I made them for. Happened twiceWith this shop. Very disappointed that she didn’t keep her promise! I will never shop thereAgain!

Best place in town to enjoy the company of other fiber artists of all ages, and abilities. Such an amazing group of women congregate here.

Awesome. Learn a new yarn skill, or improve your skill. Truly, hands on and warm atmosphere. Classes available and potential for networking.

Ive been a customer at HOKC ever since they opened. The owners are all so nice, and it has a very welcoming atmosphere.Today, I got help with a weaving loom I rented from the store. I took a beginning weaving class a few days ago, and wanted to start a new project.

Such patience on helping figure out a knitting pattern, Ive never seen in the 9 countries & 10 states & 5 L.A. county where I have visited yarn shops. A true delight.

Great teachers and experienced staff with lots fiber textile eye candy!

Happy people. Helpful in all regards
