A nice store, although being a newbie I did find it a bit intimidating - but that was my fault, not theirs! Nice selection, nice staff, definitely need to stop by again soon!
Edited to add: I've been back there since then and each time the staff have been friendly, helpful, and lovely. And the knitters there seem pretty friendly too!

I visited this location fairly regularly when it first opened. However, a number of things have happened that ensure I will not visit this yarn store again.
1.) On my first visit I went in intending to purchase enough Cascade 220 superwash to make an afghan. The proprietor, April, was not familiar with Cascade 220 superwash and directed me to the Cascade 220.
2.) I was never greeted warmly at the store by any of the staff. At times it was difficult to get someone to check out my purchases.
3.) The environment is uncomfortable. Uncomfortable chairs, lighting that gives one of the knitters migraines, and horrific Muzak. Some folks started bringing their own chairs.
4.) Most importantly, the owner April has a history of taking designer's patterns, stripping the identifying copyright and designer info off them, and then distributing them. She's done that with patterns from Knitty and from local designers. I will not support poor business ethics with my hard-earned money.

A really welcoming store with a TON of great yarn. Helpful, patient staff who seem to genuinely be into what they're doing. And they didn't flinch when I brought in my toddler, which frankly earns them my love. (Don't worry folks, she knows not to touch yarn - I trained her!)
