Loop

I think loop is a great yarn store for high end yarns. Every skein in the store seems to have been chosen with care. They have many cashmere or cashmere blend yarns, including Sauveterre. The salesperson told me they are one of only 5 US distributors of this yarn. Certainly I have not seen it in a LYS before. Even the yarns that you can find elsewhere, like Koigu, are so abundant and beautiful here (a whole wall of Koigu) that it seems that someone must choose to stock each one. The prices are completely standard for the yarns they carry. The staff is nice, and the ability to get your yarn wound into a cake before you leave is appreciated. They have a very nifty electric ball winder. I wish that I lived in Philadelphia so that this could be my LYS!
