My local shop kept letting me down, "we're expecting a shipment any day now" for months. I needed a whole new red in addition to a few more of the red I was using and a few more Navy. I had begun with Encore, and didn't want to mix yarns.

I am an avid knitter and enjoy knitting with beautiful yarn. When I'm unable to find what I'm looking for at my local yarn shop(s) I have a few out of state shops that I turn to. Michigan Fine Yarns has become a favorite yarn shop of mine outside of Connecticut. Great service, helpful staff and beautiful yarn at MFY has me becoming a regular customer.

This is your for my second flag, and I ordered the wrong white but as soon as I figured that out, you shipped four more things of white for me and I’m gonna start it pretty soon the first Flag Afghan that I made I bought The yarn there too. I donated it to the American Legion in Brooklyn Michigan for their cash bash. It was a silent auction and it brought in $600. I was so proud and so happy to help the Legion out my heart belong to our country and to The American legion 315 in Brooklyn, Michigan
Joan H.
Only yarn I use for making afghans.

easy to work with and very vibrant colors - would order again
Myrna H.
I received my order promptly and was pleased with everything. I have used Michigan Yarn to make four baby blankets and like the yarn's quality and feel. I intend to order again in the near future. The product I used was washable wool in white.
Thank you Michigan Yarn,
Suzanne
Beautiful yarn. Works up nicely
Claire R.
This is a great yarn to knit with with sturdy plies, yet it is so manageable and soft. I love the wide selection of rich colors, and the price can’t be beat.

I was using up a stash to make the Guernsey Tam by Shawnee Kunz from Ravelry and ran out of yarn. Michigan Yarn company was able to match the yarn perfectly. I love the feel (so soft), and the beautiful variegated coloration. Thank you!

DENISE A.
It's a pleasure buying yarn from Michigan Fine Yarns. I order by mail and have spoken with the owner. She is such a pleasure to work with. I used this beautiful yarn to make a double-stranded Afghan. The pattern is called "Shadowed Triangles Afghan" by JoAnne Turcotte from a pattern book called "DONE BY MONDAY AFGHANS" - trademark Plymouth Yarn Design Studio. I just love working with this yarn.
Tika S.
I bought some yarn from another company and I missed judged and didn’t get enough. After searching for quite awhile, I finally found you. Thank goodness u had the color and plenty of it. The order came fast and the price was the same as the other place. I’m not sure it’s exactly the he same dye lot but it’s awfully close so I should be ok.
What a relief u were there and had the yarn! I’ll be back for my next project. Thank you!
Carol A.
This is a nice economical yarn for projects that need to be easy care.

As always, great customer service.
I would always rather visit the shop in person- it is beautiful, with tons of yarn and great staff- but when in a pinch, I can count on them to help me find the right thing virtually!

I needed just five skeins of Encore to finish up an Afghan for my grandson . Encore had the perfect shades of green and gold for NMU bound college freshman. My order was promptly delivered and I appreciated the thank you for shopping.
John B.

The pattern is Michele Wyman's "Block Party Baby Blanket." It has become the "family" baby blanket: I am knitting it for the 7th time, each time with some variation. I am currently knitting the 8th version for the brother-to-be of the baby shown on the blanket.
I always use Plymouth DK weight Encore. It knits nicely, is machine washable, and is very durable. The 19-year-olds still have theirs on their beds or sofas!!
Debbie T.
The yarn is nice and soft, and works up easily. I really like it!
Virgina H.
I made christmas stockings. I make my own pattern from several. They turned out good. The yarn was easy to work with. Thanks again V. Hall

I Love MI Fine Yarns. Great selection of yarn and friendly, helpful staff.

My daughter needed a skein of this discontinued yarn for a project she had started a couple of months ago. Two sources didn't have it (thought it was listed on the website of one of the sources) You had it in stock and rapidly sent it so that I could give it to her for Christmas.
Thank you! Thank you!

Enjoyed how fast the yarn arrived and the website was helpful
DEBRA Q.
I love crocheting with Plymouth Encore! Great stitch definition and the yarn slides effortlessly from the hook. And my blanket made with this yarn is very soft and warm.
Leslie C.
The husband of my friend unexpectedly died and his family all want an orange hand knit hat like the one his sister made him years ago for hunting. I love to knit. I’m glad you had the orange I needed.
Renee P.
Yarn was great. I should have ordered chunky instead of worsted. Then,my house got flooded from hurricane Ian. I'll order more when I can. Thanks
Erin P.
The yarn is affordable and easy to work with. It comes in a large variety of colors.
Barbara Z.
Great yarn for a baby blanket
Barbara Z.
The yarn was perfect for the baby blanket I made for my new grandson
Soft enough and very good quality
Doris E.
What a great selection of colors you carry. Needed to match previous color encore for which I lost the ball band. All good now making mittens for special Olympics snowshoers.
Virginia W.
I was having a problem with my project. The owner, herself, took her time fixing my project! This knit shop is the best for that. Where else can you get a staff that takes their own time to help our community!
I have been shopping and knitting here at Michigan Yarn when it was located in Plymouth and now at their place In Livonia, on Ann Arbor Rd near Newburg Rd.

I finally found a second Encore Color Spun color in NYC that is a great combination for the baby blanket I am making. I went through four different Encore colors before I was able to select the one that looked the best. Rainbow 8004 which I ended up picking up at a local knitting store: Knitty City.
I'll submit a photo of the finished blanket if you want when I'm finished.
Dondee K.
Order arrived promptly - just in time for me to start on a new blanket for a new granddaughter on the way. Found the pattern Hot Cakes and am excited to use this yarn for the first time. The colors are great.
Erin W.
I wish I had selected this in person rather than online, as I probably would have chosen a different option. It's okay - not terrible. Just a bit fuzzier than I'd like and not as soft as I'd hoped. This is my first project using many different colors & types of yarn, so this may be more of a personal preference than an issue with the yarn itself. Color is beautiful and it's doing the job! :)
Margaret O.
Color as shown. Beautiful rose! Love the feel! Will make lovely car seat/carriage blanket!
Sandra Z.
Don’t use a cross stitch pattern doing single crochet. It is not a perfect square as you can see in my picture. I am hoping to have better luck with double crochet
Karen M.
I have enjoyed using Encore yarns before, and this one (bought it in two colors) is no exception! It is smooth and easy to work with while knitting. The finished product is lovely--even and crisp--and presents so very professionally as a gift. I'll buy more for another project soon!
Marybeth V.
This yarn is fabulous to work with. Making a full size blanket.
MaryAnn C.
Live the yarn. Delivery was fast. I already crocheted two boys hats from the Crazy yarn. They will be donated to Head Start next December with a lot more.
Diane B.
Made a nice crocheted beret in one day for Christmas gift for a friend.
Jennifer W.
Beautiful light Grey color. A little scratchy and not very soft but felt like worsted weight. Worked great as a contrasting color.
Sherry B.
I have used Encore Worsted in the past and have found it to be fine. This time I ordered 3 skeins; the first one had a knot joining it about 3 yards into the skein. I fortunately discovered it before I started knitting. I have used 2 of the 3 skeins and have found the quality sub par in my opinion, The yarn is fuzzy not smooth.
Barbara W.
This Afghan is so soft! It’s a Christmas present for my daughter! I hope she will like it!
Barbara W.
This is the first time I have used this yarn. I’m making an Afghan for my daughter for Christmas. This yarn is so easy to work with and is so soft. I will come back when I finish it and post a picture. Love this yarn!!!
Sheryll B.
Beautiful colour. Will post pic when iten is complete.
Ruth O.
The encore yarn I tend to use on baby blankets it is a soft durable yarn and it is washing machine and dryer friendly. I am currently making hats but will venture onto other projects when finished.
Emily H.
Yarn came exactly as expected, thank you!
