This is my favorite yarn store in the country. Handmaiden, tilli thomas are great selections. Also their own very reasonable brand. Colors are fantastic, everything is the top. Lots of different silks and silk blends, bamboo. Owner-Cathy has lost of great samples and ideas. She is super helpful. This is a must visit.

On my recent trip to CA, this (and another in Santa Monica) have become my absolute must-stops for much needed yarn therapy while visiting the in-laws. Definitely worth the drive from anywhere in the LA/OC/SD area! Cathy is a sweetheart - and has beautiful yarns - both commercial and her own. I can't wait to set up a visit to work in that dye area!! Proof Positive that a small yarn shop can carry some of the best quality yarns and notions.

Shopping at Twist is a delightful experience every time. Cathy is a kind soul whose understanding of fiber is evident in her inventory. Everything in the store is exquisite, and the selections span a full range of price points, from Very Reasonable to Fantastic Indulgence. Somehow, she presents it all without the visual clutter of similarly well-stocked shops. I also love that there are evening hours. For working people, it's nice not to have to wait until Saturday. Twist is really something special!

Twist is absolutely my favorite local yarn shop. I am amazed at what Cathy has managed to tastefully, and artfully, display in her quaint little store. Although I live about thirty miles away from Twist, I will often make special trips because Cathy carries the widest selection of Malabrigo yarn in the area. I never feel rushed or pressured when I visit and Cathy is always willing to answer any of my questions...or just let me pet and squish all of her wonderful yarn. Twist is a great store...go there...you won't be disappointed. Did I mention that Cathy has over a hundred colors of Malabrigo?????

This is the most delightful yarn store I have ever been in and I've been in many! :) The owner, Cathy, is an artist and has an impeccable eye for color. She is on top of the newest and best colors of the season as well as the color standards that we all love to knit and wear. In addition to carrying fantastic yarns from around the world, Cathy has a line of her own exclusive "Twist" yarns that are gorgeous and a dream to knit. Visiting this shop is a treat and should not be missed! Be sure Cathy shows you the gorgeous Lantern Moon knitting needles. I bought one set of Rosewood needles and love them so much that I have decided to forgo my daily Starbucks routine in order to buy them one size at a time. I now own five pair and don't want to knit with anything else. The best part of shopping at Twist is that Cathy has yarns from $7.00 a skein to $57.00 a skein...truely something for everyone. The Malabrigo wools come in the most exquisite colors that I roll my excess project yarn in balls and put them in bowls on my bookshelves and tables. Visit Twist on your lunch break and say "hello"...I will probably be there!
