The shop is really nice. The few times I've been there I found the customer service to be very helpful in finding things you are looking for or finding alternatives when they don't have it. Most times I needed help though is because I couldn't make sense of the organization of the yarn. Everything seemed to be mixed in together and it was a little frustrating. Their prices are a bit high so I only go when there's something I can'at find at other nearby LYS in a knitting emergency.

Wonderful little shop, great prices, and very friendly customer service! I wish the store was bigger. =)

This is definitely a one of a kind yarn store in the middle of downtown SF. It's a small store but it's still overwhelming with all the different choices. Because they have their own brand of yarns it's great that they have "yarn tastings" to test out their yarns. They encourage you to knit some swatches and sometimes even keep them. They can even customize a pattern for you for free when you buy the yarn for it there. I've found the customer service very friendly (even when they're busy) and their prices are reasonable. I took a continental knitting class there a few months ago and the instructor was great.

This is by far the biggest yarn store I've ever been in. Very well stocked, huge selection, and great staff. Always very helpful.
