I really like this yarn shop and the ladies - but it's not the place to go if you're on a tight budget. I try to go when I know they're having a sale - which is often!
I didn't love this shop - and I was suprised. First of all, it's GORGEOUS. Magazine layout gorgeous. But I didn't love the selection and what was there seemed to be on the higher side of pricing. I think the day I went I was looking for a soft cotton and didn't find one that I liked. And there wasn't much in terms of alpaca either (my favorite fiber). Also (I'm going to be a little cranky here) - when I was there - the music playing was HORRIBLE and the woman working was singing along with it (pretty badly).
But I loved that there was a place for hub to sit while he waited for me to touch everything. And it's just plain a pretty store.

Large selection, reasonable prices. Plenty of notions. Definitely worth stopping in.

FYI - This location is closing this fall. Right now I hear they are having serious inventory-clearing sales.
