This shop is heaven. There are comfortable armchairs for the hubby. The Mademoiselle and owner of the shop made steeped tea. The young, personable and very bright woman who also worked in the shop spoke English. The yarn ranges from relatively inexpensive to beautiful wool that feels stiff when you pick it up in your hand but when you put it to your cheek is remarkably soft.
We spent three hours choosing a pattern, yarn, and actually mixing colors. The mademoiselle is an artist and has a true talent for color.
We spoke of topics ranging from our professions to what we have knit in our lifetime, to laughing about child rearing.
This is a destination yarn store. It was a rare find. We usually return to Quebec very 3-4 years. I will be back ( actually hoping I can return sooner)
Take a taxi from your hotel and treat yourself.
