The store in my neighborhood closed and so I tried out this place. The options of fabrics are very minimal. Basic cotton prints, but no specialty fabrics or textured options. Also I agree with everyone on this review site that they are not the most accommodating our friendly employees there. You really have to work hard to get them to warm up and help you.

I do not knit, sew or quilt but if I did this is the place I would hang out at! Brought my other mother here to look around and she loved it. Everyone is very friendly. There is a place for us guys who don't know anything about this stuff to sit down and relax. Very beautiful store.

I love BG--it is my first stop for yarn, or just knitterly fun. Also a great supply of fabrics. The owners and staff are the nicest people ever--the whole vibe here is very laid back, relaxed, and natural.

They have lots of yarn and some wool for felting, and a limited supply of felt and cottons. They have some cute cotton prints here.

They are however, running a very short supply or good manners. I was treated as if I was in the way and an inconvenience even though I purchased a great deal of product.

Very put off by this experience.

I went to Brooklyn General today and was greeted, then spent 20 minutes happily browsing, then was asked if I needed help. Also allowed to use their bathroom. Entirely fine experience, and they have lovely stuff. Their roster of classes is now? on a blackboard behind the register, and they also have spinning equipment. I will return.....and also stop again at The Coffee Den on the corner.
