Rosie's has very friendly staff, and a big selection crammed into a tiny space. The space is the drawback, in my opinion. Rosie's is a few cozy basement rooms, with yarn to the ceiling. If there are more than 2 other customers it gets hard to move, and it is hard to see all the yarn, or take one down from the shelf. They do have a broad range of yarns, not all high end, and what they have is very nice. They also have some spinning fibers from Black Bunny Fibers.

one of the few shops that carries the needles for magic loop knitting in sock weight yarns...

I am so glad I visited Rosie's. What a great selection, and so cozy. The Koigo selection alone is worth the trip. If you are in Philly make a point to stop by and be ready to buy.
Peace,
Laura

They have lots of very nice stuff, but the physical space is so tiny that browsing is awkward; you're never more than a couple of feet from whomever's working there, and it's downright crowded if there are any other customers. It's fine if I know exactly what I want, but I don't feel like I can take my time in there.
