I spend a lot of time at this place! There is a table in back for just sitting and sewing and when the place isn't so busy (its more busy around the holidays) the staff are happy to chat through a project with you. There is just a TON of yarn and fabric to choose from and they carry wood straights, addi turbos and a full line of lantern moon needles. Oh, and the bags are to die for. I often by gifts for "non-crafties" here!
