Baaad Anna's Yarn Store

CRAZY fast shipping! I live on Vancouver Island and my online purchase arrived in 2 days. Will 100% make sure to visit the physical store the next time I’m in Vancouver!

I'm glad I gave this place a second chance, my visit left me feeling very disheartened about getting more into knitting.

On my first visit, I was greeted as I stepped into the wrong shop, and then treated like I wasn't a real customer for the remainder of the time. I buy my things and leave.

Second visit the same employee ignored my existence once again, but another staff stepped in and was very helpful. I gave her the premise of my project along with the desired colour and showed me some choices.

The store itself features a range of textile-based supplies, kits, and yarn. The displays make it easy to navigate and wonder while dreaming up different possible projects. If you plan to visit, I would definitely give yourself at least 20 minutes to have a look at all the yarn, and perhaps a budget because it will be hard not to stock up.

Great selection of yarns and wool and helpful gadgets. Even workshops. Kind of expensive, but staff gotta pay rent,

I had an issue with my order and it was so easy to sort out. Quick response and help - really awesome to deal with.

Very knowledgeable staff. The atmosphere is very chill, lots if great selections of wool, cotton and bamboo.

We are in Vancouver from West Kelowna getting a break from the smoke. I’ve been here before and am always amazed at the selection but today’s experience was extra special. When the employee (sweet Irish woman) learned we were from Kelowna she was immediately concerned and so compassionate. I told her about how my place was safe but my parent’s had burned down and she was so very kind. We had a lovely chat. So heartening to meet good people.

Went for a felting class that I saw and booked through their website. Was a small class size (7 of us) which I liked. The instructor was very good and you could really see their passion for the craft. They offer other craft class so I'll be checking out their website in September to see what's available.

Am from India and had visited Baaad Ana's Yarn Store at Vancouver during a trip there. My 12 year old granddaughter wanted me to buy a particular kind of yarn for her - she is into crochet. It is a very well stocked and a very interesting place to visit. You can get all kinds of yarn here. The sales lady at the counter was also extremely helpful.

SUCH a cute store! Excellent selection!

We arrived right at 1100a and found the store open. The lady inside was very nice and cheerful! We're tourists, but always like to take in local stores. This one's a gem!

Recently took a trip to Vancouver and stayed downtown. I was hoping for walking distance which wasn't the case. I was unable to visit the store as I would have to drive and there was a large homeless population on the street around the shop. 5 stars regardless as I'm sure I would have loved it. I hope they change location soon.

Thus is the best place for me to buy my fibre for felting. I love to come to buy what i need for my felting hobby. Staff r very friendly they have a good selection of fibre and yarn and whatever u need to felt, knit, crochet, weaving or spinning. This is my go to store. I love coming here.

Always a fantastic stop in Vancouver, not just for knitting but most fiber related crafts.

Awesome LYS with tons of cool hand dyed and local dyed yarn! Leave your credit cards behind and window shop!

There is a very nice selection of unusual yarns, well organized. Other related wool products to such as felting g kits are also available along with gift items and accessories. I found just what I needed, very pleased.

Smaller then desired selection of hooks and needles but huge selection for parts to spin, twist, weave yarn. Considerate and knowledgeable staff and lots of locally made nick nacks like stitch counters and darning needles for sale.

Fun yarn shop with a great variety of local yarns, books and lots of knitting accessories. Great selection of needles and crochet supplies, fun embroidery kits and very knowledgeable staff.

I thought I had found my new local yarn store. First 2 visits were great. Today? Infuriating. I was there at 5 minutes to opening. 2 others joined me. 2 clerks in the store. Great …. Nope. They looked at their watches and walked away (1 to straighten tags). Kept me waiting (why?) until exactly 11 am on Christmas Eve. The 2 other customers left. Acknowledgement would have been nice. Better = to not walk in front of the door several times. (just yo be sure we saw they were ignoring us) Best = open 4 minutes early (before the other 2 customers left). So …. New customer = gone. I’ll drive to my favourite or shop online. Tags come first here. No accommodation for customers. Had I not Needed the yarn I bought today ($100+) I too would have left. But I won’t be back. I want to shop where customers are wanted … not an inconvenience to tag straightening.
Were they wrong. No. Just zero accommodation to customers. They can do so much better.

Extremely helpful!
I needed a very specific yarn to mend a jumper, and at first I wanted to browse on my own (that's my default preference anywhere) and the woman attending the store left me to it with zero fuss, but as soon as I did need assistance she was immediately super helpful and found me exactly what I needed.
The selection is fantastic, and the people are Wonderful.

Also important to note that the shop recently doubled in size (they haven't moved, just added the nextdoor shop) so the range that's out and available is even wider than before! So exciting.

This store is full of the most exquisite yarns in so many fabulous colors. The staff are super helpful and great to answer any questions you may have. I would highly recommend going for a visit.
