Review content:
If you're looking for high-end, expensive yarn, this is the place. It's hard not to want lots of it, but you'll have to open your wallet wide to go home with all that you'll end up with on your wish list. But specialty yarns are expensive no matter where you go. If you want Lion Brand or Patons for a quick-knit baby sweater, this is not the place to go. In fact, a customer who appeared to be a relative newcomer to knitting was browsing the store in search of yarns to embark on a first project and was stymied by the price of everything that was pointed out to her. I finally took her aside and explained that there were lots of other yarns available in the big wide world of chain stores and advised that she start with the perfectly acceptable selection at AC Moore, Michael's, or even WalMart for her first try. She was clearly in the wrong place and no one there was going to tell her -- they just doggedly continued to point out yarns that would have yielded her a $300 sweater.
The staff was pleasant enough to me but I definitely sensed the snob factor, even without benefit of the comments here. But I can out-snob the best of them if necessary and wasn't overly bothered. However, I visited two other yarn stores while I was in Seattle and they were much warmer and more inviting than the staff at Tricoter. This is not a "community of knitters" kind of place. It's a chi-chi, upscale boutique for the nouveau knitter where people plop down hundreds of dollars on their refined hobby de jour. So don't go thinking you can chat and commune with like-minded knitters, it's just not that kind of place. But if you are searching for some special yarn for a special project, this is a great place to shop.
