The Bee & The Bear

Wonderful eclectic store with supplies geared towards rughooking and punch needle, but also offers instruction, books for above crafts and embroidery, wool fabrics by the yard and some wool and cotton fat quarters and small antiques. The owner hand dyes the rug yarn for sale, available in a beautiful soft rainbow of colors!

Seven months ago I posted about talking with Katie on the phone and how she helped, well this past week I actually got to travel to her shop when I went to visit my sister. Absolutely beautiful, there is so much to take in, she not only has supplies to make projects but she has items already made you can purchase. She has Antiques as well.
Katie helped me person and gave me a quick lesson on how to do my bees on my pillow. She helped me pick out floss for my other packets I had bought online and convert from DMC to Valdani. I bought so many different items from packets to frames and finished items and a wonderful new hoop, it was an amazing visit and so glad to meet Katie and her staff in person.

Love love love this store! We drove 2 1/2 hours to get here, but it is well worth the trip! The wool and the kits are fabulous. They have the best selection of hand dyed wools . The sales lady was super nice and helpful. I wish they were closer, but we are willing to travel here several times a year. The store has a very unique atmosphere, too. It's located in a very old stone building that used to be a general store. It still retains all the old shelves and cabinets!

Great supplies of wools for all your projects... Great sales personal very helpful they even have scraps .... And some vintage gifts to keep the male escort busy...

Took my first class and had an absolutely wonderful time. So much fun and friendships started. Always good to learn something new.

This wonderful store is a gem. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Obviously loves what she does. If you haven't taken the ride yet, you definitely should. Beautiful hand dyed wools-many, many great pearl cotton colors in stock. Also great hand make gifts. Am looking forward to classes.

If you haven't visited yet you need to! My wife
loves this place. Katie has an awesome store.
There is a large selection of her own hand dyed wool, patterns, threads and so much more.

A treat for a crafter's eye, welcoming owner extremely helpful, attended my first class, instructors informative, project engaging, friendly atmosphere amongst attendees. Can't wait to go to another class and purchase more materials in a quaint old fashioned general store vibe.

Throughly enjoy shopping the owner is always so helpful!!!! Cutest shop and really there are not many of these specialty shops left so if you love felting,rug hooking and wool stitching etc. please support our small businesses !

Love this store. Katie is most helpful, knowledgeable and a great person. She gives plenty of help where needed. Knows her stock and her recommendations are spot on!

Adorable store with lots of options. Kind and helpful owner and staff. Excited to participate in the classes and meetings.
