I stopped her for an hour on a road trip from the Bay Area to LA. It ended up being the highlight of my vacation. The friendly couple who owned the shop showed me exciting new spindles and lovely fiber. I was very new to spinning at the time and the stop filled me with enthusiasm and inspiration. And their yarn selection was great. I bought some undyed alpaca that has been a dream to knit. The only draw back I had was the horrendo Solvang parking (I went on a summer weekend). Overall, I found this store to be folksy and welcoming. It is clearly run by people who love what they do.

This shop seems like one long ongoing stitch and bitch meeting. I stopped here on a vacation to LA and found employees and folks from the neighborhood sitting around a table talking and knitting. I found it friendly and inviting. It isn't a huge space, but they had a great deal of unique inventory and lot of sitting space. I bought some lovely bamboo and soy silk yarn (from the discount bin!) and have loved every minute of working with it.

I gave this store all 5's - but it doesn't appear to be saving my rating. Hmmm....
