Very large selection of yarn and books. Friendly staff. Tends to be busy (or was when I was there) so leave yourself plenty of time to browse.

Arguably the best yarn store in San Francisco. They have an enormous selection of yarn, books, and needles. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff.

This place is dreamy. The organization is intuitive. The staff is just stellar. I have a hard time staying away.

Visiting yarn stores in San Francisco (I own a store in PA)I found this store the most fun It has a huge area stocked with almost every yarn imaginable.

This is by far the biggest yarn store I've ever been in. Very well stocked, huge selection, and great staff. Always very helpful.

Not the friendliest owner I've ever dealt with.

a marvellous place

The best yarn selection in the bay area, and nice staff to boot. My only complaint is that the weekday hours are not friendly to people who don't live in San Francisco proper; I wish they stayed open late one day a week like most shops.

I was absolutely awed by what lay inside the door to this shop. Two large rooms with shelf upon shelf, from floor to ceiling, of fabulous yarn. From expensive yarns to specialty yarns to yarns I'd never seen before. It was awesome! If you go, be sure to allow plenty of time to look at all the yarn.

The store staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the yarns. They also carried some great needles and notions. The store is also crochet-friendly. Not a lot of seating for classes/hanging out and such but overall, I really liked the store. A definite must see if you're in San Fran.

If you want to go to a yarn shop that has everything under the sun but little you actually want to buy, this is the place.

This place is where I do most of my shopping and they do have all the yarn in the world. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Never go in a hurry looking for yarn they will overwhelm you. The biggest selection of Addis and regular needles and lots of patterns and books. I also have to add their friendly attitude toward male knitters and crocheters.

the shop itself is bangin. however, i have never been treated so rudely in my *life*. i sat down on one of the sumptuous couches after having walked all the way from market and third and a young man was sitting next to me working on an exquisite shawl. we chatted about the pattern for a minute... we talked about the store... the kind of business it gets... what kinds of things are in the store... and he asked what i was working on. i pull out my latest crochet project (which was a very impressive wrap that i had just finished) and he scoffs and says "i morally cannot bring myself to crochet." wtf?? you have got to be kidding me. really? i was so stunned, i couldn't say anything in response except "what??" he said "look around. we don't put crochet on the walls here. it looks cheap. after having walked four miles to get to this shop, i was hard put to get out and walk to the bus stop at that moment, but i was sorely tempted. it is regrettable that i was treated so crappy because the store is pretty awesome, but i just cannot abide such knittitude.

I arrived at 10:10 only to find it didn't open until 11:00!! But went back the next day. It does have a lot of yarn but I couldn't figure out their organization, so I found it difficult to manuver. The staff was helpful but they were very busy and didn't take very much time with me. I was just visiting San Francisco and probably wouldn't go back if I visit again.
