Really nice woman works there and she's helpful and friendly. The place is just overflowing with different kinds of yarn and colors but it's a little difficult to sift through everything. Most disappointing was the fact that her cat had free roam of the store and there was lots of cat hair on a lot of the yarn. My allergies were acting up by the time I left. Other than that, it was a nice shop and it was nice to see yarn that I can't get anywhere else.

I really enjoyed my visit to Tess'. All the yarn in the store is hand-dyed by the owner and she has an amazing selection. The store is organized by color, not by yarn, so if you are looking for a particular yarn, you need to sortof dig through the selection - or ask for help. Lace and sock yarn are separate so that might be easier to find. Overall though, the yarn is in beautiful colors and I am enjoying working with the yarn I bought. The microfiber ribbon is amazingly beautiful. The store is in a basement of a building and has smaller windows so lighting was a little tough but with help from the owner I was able to make choices that I am very pleased with. I recommend checking this store out!
