had this to say:
Jan is an extremely knowledgeable knitter and shopkeeper; she knows her yarns!! She is a delight to visit with (as well as her husband) and was very helpful with questions I had about yarns for specific projects. Her selection of yarns is fantastic and she carries a number of brands that were new to me. I recommend Jan’s Yarn Barn as a definite stop when in the Newton area.

Jan, was exceptional! This store was well stocked. I didn't know what yarn to buy. I asked Jan for her suggestions and explained what I wanted to make with the yarn I was buying. She was so helpful!! I bought a lot of yarn. It was sooo soft & silky to the touch. It should be excellent to work with. Jan and I discussed an issue that if I needed more yarn for my projects, it would not be a problem! I could talk to her on the phone about it. I would buy the yarn over the phone, +
shipping and she would mail it to me. I live in Central TX, now that's service!!

Fantastic variety of yarn to choose from! The owner is beyond helpful and friendly. I drive 2 hours to support this business almost exclusively.
If Jan doesn't have it she will get it!
The selection of Indi Dye'd yarn is the best I have seen in a very long time!
#1 in my book!

I visited Jan’s Yarn Barn about 5 years ago while staying in Newton, Iowa en route to Colorado. What I found was a yarn shoppe filled with amazing yarns to tempted any knitter. Fast forward to Aug. 2022, again en route to CO., when I left home without my pattern for my WIP Entrelac blanket & I was lost! Remembering I would pass Jan’s Yarn Barn, I was hopeful for some guidance. Jan printed out my pattern & she and customer Lorrie got me back on track. Thinking I would be :15 min and on-my-way again turned into 90 min of advice, projects, laughs & chit chat. Jan had tremendous understanding that sometimes you just can’t wrap your head around a pattern. She & Lorrie are wonderful & the shoppe is knitters delight! Stop if your driving by and add to your Stash or in need of help!
