Super-friendly, but terribly sparse selection and a very tiny shop. :-( One of the staff mentioned that they were expecting an upcoming shipment, but I've never seen a LYS so poorly stocked. To their credit, there was a lunchtime group in there hanging out and they seemed rather friendly. There are also lots of classes scheduled, reasonably priced, including beginning spinning. Perhaps somewhere to learn and hangout.

I agree with Heterotopia, in that the prices seem to fit the location, and the silence is definitely awkward. There's something about the staff and the atmosphere that seems to tell you to get what you came for and leave quickly so that you're not bothering the staff/owners. Very odd. In regards to pushiness, I seem to experience the opposite: distant, sometimes surly staff.

Incredible yarn store! I wish I lived close enough to call it my LYS, because it's just perfect. The atmosphere is great, friendly without being pushy or overbearing. The location is wonderful, well-lit with sunlight and beautiful wood floors. Christine (the owner, I'm guessing) was incredibly helpful and fun to talk with. They have all kinds of classes, and a really great selection of yarns. Prices are a little high, but still reasonable, especially the sale and clearance section near the back. I picked up two to-die-for skeins for Colinette's SilkyChic for a mere $15 apiece!

A great yarn store. Always friendly & helpful owner and staff. Good selection of higher-end yarns including Blue Sky Alpacas, Manos, and Rio de la Plata. Prices are high, but reasonable. By far, one of my favorite LYS. Easy street parking most of the time.
