Grace Robinson & Company

Lovely shop, attentive staff, and excellent service. Very high-quality yarns and needlepoint supplies. The canvas and thread selections are top notch.

I immediately felt welcomed but was given time and space to browse. Staff helped with additional useful suggestions for my purchase and offered to order and ship as well.

I had a great time visiting and shopping at Grace Robinson today. Extremely helpful when needed but they also gave me plenty of time to just browse by myself and look at all of the many beautiful yarns that she stocks. They have an AMAZING amount of beautiful yarn. They also have many pattern books filled with a lot of beautiful patterns that are for sale. They also carry a large supply of knitting needles and needlework supplies. I could go on and on. This was the first time I have been in a store since April because of Covid and Grace made my experience absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend this amazing store and I look forward to going back again.

Have been a long time customer of both needlepoint and knitting depts. Truly excellent selections for both. Love seeing all of the knitted samples on the floor. Truly accomplished people work there and are both kind and helpful.

Having just received the Rowan online newsletter for the first time, I was excited to see a LYS highlighted. I was hesitant to go, as it is a 45 minute drive from my rural vacation home, and some of the negative reviews gave me pause. However, I was able to see that some of the negative reviews were from one group of sisters, who each made a point of giving the shop a single star based on what they describe as a horrible experience . I have no reason to disbelieve them, nor any of the other reviewers, so here's my two cents worth: I am writing this in the off season, so there aren't many tourists for the shop to contend with. I was greeted warmly by the young staff, graciously helped with my questions regarding some Rowan knitting magazines and associated yarns. The inventory is incredible, the samples of projects very impressive, and the staff was helpful in finding the yarn I was looking for. I also learned they will ship to my home if I need to special-order extra yarn. They have a great selection of needles and other knitting accoutrements as well. I will not hesitate to go here again in the future for special projects. I spent close to $200.00 on some gorgeous Rowan yarns and knitting magazines and had no issue with them accepting American Express. I hope your experience is as enjoyable as mine was.

There is so much yarn here it is insane. Their prices are good for the quality you are getting. They have very high end yarn and their staff are very nice to you. They do have some clearance bins for stuff they no longer carry, which is often cheap but still good quality. This place is like heaven to me. It's a beautiful land of many yarns. If you are a newbie or a seasoned knitter i reccomend this place 100%

I discovered this yarn shop on my first trip to Freeport in 2009. Every time I come back, I come to this shop. Being from MA, you would think that you could find every brand of yarn you want. I come here because they provide yarn brands that I can't find in MA.
The shop is so comfy, that I find myself just meandering around the store at my own speed and 2 hours go by. The staff are nice and helpful always.

I have been shopping at Grace Robinson for many years and have always had a good experience with them. I live in the area and stop by several times a year. They carry Rowan yarns which are hard to get otherwise. But, when I am feeling lazy I wish they would ship products.

I took a beginner session with Grace. She is amazingly supportive, very clear with direction and so knowledgeable! I would recommend the shop to anyone who needs quality yarn and supplies or help with a project. 😀

My favorite yarn shop in Maine!

Amazing selection of needlepoint supplies -- threads, canvas (both preprinted and blank), magazines and patterns, kits and notions. Most important, the sales staff are very knowledgeable and were extremely helpful and kind in explaining everything to this beginner!

Such gorgeous inventory and helpful staff. Since I’m from a southern state with a Covid positivity rate that has left us with negative ICU beds, I greatly appreciate the common sense steps you’ve taken to make safely shopping possible! We’ll be back!

I have been going to visit Grace and David for many years. Love sitting, sipping on a cup of tea while we gossip and knit.
Outstanding customer service with a great selection of yarn

I love the shop, the products, and the staff. It helps if they know you, but I find them very friendly and helpful, and the yarn selection is terrific.

Amazing service and assistance in finding the best yarn for my new project! Encourage and knowledgeable women, will be back !
