First visit to this wonderful shop. They have everything you could possibly need for weaving and spinning plus rug hooking and punch needle supplies and kits.From the grand floor looms to tiny hand held looms for kids they have something for everyone to weave on. They have books on beginning to weave all the way to mastery and design. They have tons of accessories, benches with storage, shuttles, leasing sticks, and an extensive selection of warping yarns and specialty yarns in multiple fibers from alpaca to cotton to wool.The best part about the shop is perhaps its people though. From the moment my mom and I walked in everyone was very friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable without being pushy about sales at all and without being condescending as sometimes experts can be toward beginners.My only disappointment is that the retail store is only open on Friday afternoons until 5. Since I work Mon-Friday I had to take a day off to be able to visit. Not sure if this is a COVID thing or if its always been that way. Unfortunately this will limit my ability to go there and shop very often. They do have a huge online presence but with crafting supplies I always prefer to see and feel supplies in person. Color choices are almost impossible to pick out online especially.Anyway, lovely store and I cant wait to be able to return one day!

Maple Wool Combs work great !! I have a whole new respect for an 8 oz. bag of roving. 1.6 oz. are done and a big bag left to do .

I highly recommend this company. I sent an email this morning regarding help navigating a new brake set up for a 1958 loom and got a quick response that was detailed and full of information. I am SO thankful for this company and their amazing help.

Please update with Google that youre showroom is closed. I was so excited to get to visit as a birthday treat and was so disappointed not to get to shop. I do needle felting and wanted to see the products before purchasing. We came from Louisville and were bummed!

Nice people, nice products. I recently became interested in weaving, and discovered The Woolery through an online search. After ordering online as well as visiting their store, I am impressed most of all by their customer service. These are real people who are passionate about their business and really care for their customers. The products they offer are competitively priced and cover the gamut of fiber art needs. Their showroom, while primarily geared to support their online business, is fun to walk through and has a variety of looms on display. If youre ever passing through Kentucky, be sure to drop in.

First trip to the store and it was a fiber heaven! Everything any fiber artist could want. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and ready to assist or demonstrate proper use of tools. If you have only ever ordered online I promise, the trip was well worth it. We will DEFINITELY make the drive again.

Was told about The Woolery bya weaver in Berea. Drove out of the way to stop. It was worth it. The women were personable and helpful. Questions answered with a lot of additional information. I was looking for more projects for my granddaughters lap loom and was able to pick up a kit and a lot of additional information for future projects..

Love this place for spinning and weaving fibers. A little pricey, but knowledgeable staff offset that. Offers a wide variety of spinning fibers and yarn for crafting and felting needs. Dont sell eyeballs for crafts though.

I rode along with my neighbor to drop off two Dyson vacuum cleaners belonging to her & her sister. One in need of cleaning only & the other needing servicing due to a loud noise and also cleaning. I listened quietly and the employee was very knowledgeable and informative. He even took time to demonstrate to us the new cordless Dyson vacuum. She was amazed how lightweight it was and I liked how it stayed charged for 40 minutes. But, we both liked the suction that Dyson is famous for.

Excellent customer service. I had computer problems and the team at Woolery gave such a high level of assistance in getting my order placed and delivered quickly that I was amazed, and very pleased. As a former Human Resource Manager I would be happy to hire all of them.. Woolery will be getting all my business for my weaving needs. Thank you .

Wow! What an awesome place! The Woolery is the Mecca for Spinners & Weavers. I can’t believe how much stuff they have there. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend a visit. I normally order online but we found that we would be traveling and it was worth the 20 min. diversion from our rout just to see everything live and in person.

I am a spinner and a knitter. I have been ordering from the Woolery for many years and have only good things to say about the experience. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and VERY HELPFUL. Finally about three weeks ago driving back from the east coast I got to visit the brick and mortar store in Frankfort, KY. WOW! It was pure bliss! Two adorable dogs greet you gently as you come in, but are not at all intrusive. The selection is wonderful and staff was again VERY HELPFUL. It was hard to finally leave. I love this store! Its not the usually slightly uppity craft store you see in most metropolitan areas, where no one bothers you because they are sitting around gossiping. These folks were professional and lovely. Will continue to order online from them and counting the weeks till I can go back and shop in person with them again. Another thing...they smiled a lot. I FELT WELCOME! Woolery, you rock!

This is a wonderful company with exceptional customer service. Any one who picks up the phone is willing to answer or help with any questions you have. I purchased my first wheel through them and most recently my first rigid heddle loom. Their shipping is always expedient with the utmost care when it comes to packaging. I highly recommend ordering from this company for any of your fiber needs.

I have only ordered online or by telephone. I have placed numerous orders with The Woolery. I have always received great help- always answered my questions with knowledge and patience. The items have always arrived at my door in less time than was stated when ordered. I have only experienced great and wonderful products and service from this company.

I am a new customer for The Woolery and found them to offer excellent customer service. I dont understand the negative review at all. Ive ordered from The Woolery twice now and each time found the agent i spoke to go over and above meeting expectations by offering knowledgeable advice and friendly, caring service. If the person one is speaking with doesnt know the answer, she will find someone who does and provide the correct information, even to the extent of calling one back. I am certainly going to be a repeat customer. And I am NOT local!! I only wish i were!Lynne

I have loved the Woolery since before the move to Kentucky. I am not a high-volume customer, but a steady one. So this is a difficult review to write.I have a 16” Ashford SampleIt rigid-heddle loom. At the suggestion of a very helpful employee met at a Woolery class a few weeks ago, I decided it would be a nice addition to purchase a floor stand. When I entered my inquiry into the Woolery search engine, it never occurred to me that there mignht be two 16” Ashford rigid-heddle looms with differing floor stands, so all I entered was Ashford 16” rigid-hedge loom floor stand. Up popped an item, I ordered it, and everything looked tickety-boo.When it arrived, I sanded, treated, and assembled it - only to find that it could not accommodate my loom. It was designed for a slightly higher-end model. There was no indication in the Woolery catalog or website entries to alert me to this distinction.Knowing that the Woolery no longer accepts used items or exchanges assembled items, I still felt that the error was not entirely mine and that some middle ground might be negotiated for my dilemma. When I reported my situation through the site contact function, I was politely but firmly informed that the fault was my own for not entering the exact model, and/or calling customer service to check out the order. I was then (politely but firmly) referred to eBay or Ravelry to unload the unfortunate acquisition.Sorry, but I feel rather like a victim blamed. I hope the Woolery will clarify the distinction between the floor stands for the two models in the next revision of the website. Meanwhile, I have ordered the higher-end loom from another vendor, and will sell the SampleIt on one of the recommended sites and keep the assembled stand. A pity to have a pleasant and rewarding relationship end in this way, but there we are.(The third review star is in honor of all the good times past.)

We ordered a piece of equipment from The Woolery. They offered to ship it to us, but we asked them to hold it which gave us an excuse to visit the store. We discovered a gold mine of high quality items particularly for spinning and weaving, came home with several, and will be ordering more in the future.

I have ordered on-line at the Woolery for a few years now, and they have always been fast and professional. When I have had to call to see if they could help me find parts for my spinning wheel, they were wonderful and very helpful. I will always go to them first for on-line ordering.

5 times I told them...DO NOT SHIP TO MY HOME ADDRESS! I had to run down my purchase with the post office as they were getting ready to return my loom to the Woolery. Part of my order was back ordered and I was told it was being shipped on the 10th of May. I still do not have it cause rhey kept sending it to my house, not my post office box! When I called the owner she was so not interested, but promised I would have it in my hands as fast as possible! That was 10am Monday morning and here it is Wednesday and its still not hear! Have you ever heard of overnight shipping! Im getting ready to order an Ashford table loom, but I will NOT order it from here! Nor will I even visit your site again!

Their online customer service is terrible. There are stores that appreciate their customers spend your money somewhere else. I do not believe the positive reviews. I guess if you want the suspense of wondering when or where you will receive your purchase, order from the Woolery. Otherwise, go somewhere else. The daffy sales people could care less about their online customers, their attitude is so what, we could have cared less.I placed an order for a rigid heddle loom stand and 2 shuttles. I wanted them delivered to an address other than my billing address, Im waiting and waiting for the delivery, nothing. No tracking number, no emails saying it has shipped, nothing. So finally I email the Woolery and they send back a tracking number. The order was sent to the wrong address! Ok, so I cant use the loom when I intended. When I get home , 2 weeks later, the loom stand is there, but no shuttles. I call them and some daffy sales person looks up the order and tells me that the shuttles are on back order. There is nothing in my account saying this, no email nothing, so 2 weeks with no communication.So when I express my dismay she laughs. There are stores that appreciate their customers spend your money somewhere else. They didnt apologize,they just dont care! The positive reviews must be their local friends, dont order online!
