I just found the residence number for the owner by accident, and came here looking for the real phone number!

The area code is a misprint. Oakland's area code is 510.

Wonderful little shop! The owner is very sweet, and very open to customers' ideas. She really seems to want to build relationships & community. Really nice selection for its size, and very fair prices. There is a consignment area where customers & (I think) teachers can display and sell their items.

I love this store for so many reasons. I am an avid knitter and I can find the most beautiful yarns here for good prices. I also sell my knitwear in this store and have had a great experience doing that. The people who work there are willing to help you with projects and nice to chat with. It is a much needed store in an area that loves to knit. many of the yarns are from cooperatives that help women be economically secure in third world countries so you can feel good about buying the yarn. They have many services I do not think other stores have such as a recycled yarn bin and a way to borrow knitting needles. Go see for yourself. It is a treat.

Piedmont Yarn and Apparel is a wonderful store - inviting, bright and airy, filled with so much attractive, rich color and texture that it is impossible to leave without buying SOMETHING, even if you aren't sure what it will become. There are already-made items for sale which can help with inspiration, or with sharing your own hand-made items with others. The owner would like to make the shop as friendly as possible, so any and all questions are welcome, and I am sure she is open to suggestions to help customize her store to the needs of the knitting community. I was impressed with the variety of natural fibers, and the custom-dyed wools. There is even wool for felting projects. This store deserves a visit.

This newish store is really cool! They have locally sourced yarns and spinning fibers as well as Fair Trade items which is really cool, and very in keeping with the Green theme of Berkeley and California. They also have consignment options for those of us who make too many things and have no one to give them away to, or who want to make a little extra money! Everyone is friendly and willing to help out, greeting you as you come in and being ready to engage if you feel like talking. It's nice to see something different in the Bay, everyone should totally check it out!

I'm so glad to have found this store. It's in my work neighborhood. The person who helped me was extremely helpful and made lots of great suggestions for the project I described. Lots of wonderful yarns.
