hannah's is kind of a cross between a big box chain store and an LYS. more selection than michaels/joanns, not quite as expensive as an LYS; but the service is like michaels/joanns (can be hit or miss, because they sell so many other things in this store).

this place smells funny ... musty? can't place it.
decent selection crammed into a small space, organized roughly by weight of the yarn.
service was poor. i asked for a yarn with a specific set of characteristics and they were nonchalant and nonspecific in recommendations. i get better help from ravelry or other lys's.

located in a cute house, the environment is warm and there always seem to be a couple of folks knitting. the staff is generally helpful if you know what you are talking about; otherwise, they seem more interested in helping the folks who are sitting there and knitting, or their regulars. selection is decent, pretty good for this area.

Very friendly customer service and beautiful atmosphere - she also sells artwork from local artisans, and is located in a corner studio with lots of light, which combine to make a very comfortable atmosphere. Just opened in March 2008, so I expect their yarn selection will improve greatly over the next few months.
