I don't know what I would do without Play Time to satisfy all my crafting needs. This store is stuffed to the brim with every item you can think of, plus a few you haven't. Party goods, kids' craft kits, pens, stationery, artificial flowers, yarn, ribbon, jewelry findings, canvases, paints -- it's all here. If anything, the store can be a bit overwhelming, with spinning displays and fixtures stuffed into the narrow aisles, and the shelves overflowing with wares, but the selection makes it worth it. The prices are higher than you would find at Michael's, and if you need something specific, it may be helpful to call to check if it is in stock, because when items are out of stock, they sometimes remain so for weeks at a time. Nonetheless, it's a great neighborhood store with a fantastic selection of craft items.

I met Tom and Winne more than 7 years ago and have been devoted customers ever since. Tom has sort of become my personal jewel maker and has done everything from setting diamonds, setting sidestones, hammering or braiding gold, or comfort fitting my rings, designing my pear-shaped diamond earrings.......not to mention changing batteries for my Rolex or my kid's Casio digital watch.
Here is a secret about Tom. Not only is he a jewelry craftsman, but he'll give you good advice on electrical, plumbing, kitchen renovation, and even the nitty gritty details of how to build an outdoor koi fish pond.
Their prices are incredibly reasonable. You can't go wrong with them. Sometimes I think they do things for the love of jewelry-making instead of for profit. Tom and Winnie are two of the most sincere, honest and nicest people I've ever met. Visit them, chat with them, tell them what you would like, and compare. I've done that many times, and always returned to Tom and Winnie.

You will be astonished at this store that is right out of my childhood with everything imaginable in it. This store has real wool socks, all kinds of socks, flip-flops, hair stuff, candy, toys, party goods, brooms, aprons like people wore in 1940, paper goods, table covers, curtains, doilies, markers, fabric, sewing machine needles, dishes, hardware supplies, anything you can think of. But the experience of just walking down the creaky wooden floors is soooo nostalgic. You just have to go in and take it all in while picking up stuff you need.

What's better than a store that specialize in kitting? nothing! that is The Knitting Room in arlington. They have all types of yarn and textures at different values. To me it is crazy if anyone will pay that much for yarn but if you just love it then that wouldn't matter. I introduced my friend to this place and she has just learned to knit and we have so much fun.

The poor souls who actually work there must need some uppers themselves, they just seem to hate their job with a passion, I guess I would be depressed and hang my head low if I was getting minimum wage for the menial job. But hey, I am a paying customer, so shape up or ship out.

Reasonably priced, totally unique products that you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the area. The ideal place to shop for a gift, whether it's for yourself or a friend. I have the hardest time getting out of this wonderful gem of a shop once I'm inside. They have a little bit of EVERYTHING for EVERYONE ... men and women. Absolutely love it!
Pros: Unique merchandise that can't be found elsewhere in town ; Has something for everyone (men, women, kids, etc.)
Cons: On-street Parking, Staff could be friendlier, Can be a bit crowded at times, depending on what's in stock ...
