Since my first trip, they have added more chairs to the sitting area (nice for husbands or non-knitting friends), but the yarn is really what you are after. You can pick up cone after cone of yummy merino OR find specialty fibers (Camel? Defies explanation!) by the pound. The service was great both times; they even went so far as to take down my sister's name and volunteered to ship her more yarn if she didn't have enough when she purchased her camel for a shawl. She ran out . . . they shipped it out as stated. Nice in this day and age.

When my mother first took me here as an early teen, I was so shocked that there was so much amazing yarn hidden in an obscure building on a random floor! The selection is great, and I have to agree with Ava that you find everything from merino to camel. In my experience, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful (as much as they can be given the occasional peak of customers). There are always a bunch of interesting samples and finished knits all around the store that give me inspiration and new ideas!

I agree with the prices and selection. Both great. Where else can you find so much camel hair, let alone, for a great price. I loved this store and would definitely recommend it. Service was great as well.
