They do have needles, but they are in the back, in a tiny space that probably used to be a bathroom or something. They have lots of Addis and some Clovers, I didn't see anything else but didn't look. Addi Turbos and Addi Laces.
They have updated their yarn selection to include some novelty yarns.
The bargain bin has moved to the front.
I definitely got plenty of attitude when I went in. I wanted the long 12-inch DPNs used for ganseys, which they apparently don't sell: they told me they don't exist. Nowhere. Ever.
I decided to settle for a 40" circular or so. "What are you making?" "A heavily cabled gansey." "For who?" I pointed to my 44" in diameter husband. "Oh, you'll need a 32" for that." "But it's cabled. I want the 40" so it holds all the stitches." "No, it'll be too wide. Get the 40"." "I like making large projects. I don't mind magic-looping it." "You need the 32"." I gave in and got the 32"... even though a 16" wasn't wide enough to hold the stitches for my 33" self for a plain sweater. Of course, now my stitches keep trying to burst off the needle. *sigh*
