"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!"

"I was visiting friends in Newton and found this delightful yarn shop filled with a wide selection of yarns! Jan, the owner, has information sheets posted throughout the store to help you know how much yarn you will need for a project! That was super helpful since I didn't have any patterns with me. I was able to buy enough yarn for a scarf and a baby blanket and enjoyed the conversation I had with Jan! I real gem in Newton, Iowa and one not to be missed if you are a knitter!"
