About laurapower
I usually knit scarves because I'm not terribly talented in knitting shapes working with double-pointed needles. I love hand-spun and hand-dyed yarn.

What a great place! The selection was terrific--shelves and shelves of yarns of all blends and colors, bags, books, and a variety of prices from reasonable to spendy. I had to practice some serious restraint and I still easily spent over $100 (got 9 skeins, a card, and a pack of yarn bras. Yes, yarn bras). They have a frequent buyer card and when it's been completed, you get $30 off your purchase (I think that's how it goes), which is really nice. The atmosphere was also quite pleasant. They had an open knitting session in the back room, and a few ladies were gathered. The cashier (owner?) was also helpful, but not at all overbearing. I'm not a local, but will be stopping by next time I'm in the area.
p.s.
The building used to be a bank and they've turned the old vault into another yarn room. Very cool!
