Love this little yarn and needlepoint shop on the corner of the Plaza del Sol. It is very small and the yarns are located behind the counter. But the staff is friendly and patient. They will hand you any yarns you wish, so you can pet them. I don't speak much Spanish, but they were very kind to me. :)
I ended up purchasing 2 balls of superwash yarn as a gift for my friend who was dogsitting for me while I was on vacation. It was beautiful, high quality Italian 100% merino yarn. I paid about $6/ball and was able to use my credit card. The woman working there tried to get me to purchase only 1 when I told her it was probably for a scarf. So, there's no pressure at all to buy more...they were trying to get me to buy less! However, it's nice to have extra yarn, especially when you're going back to the States in a few days where they don't sell this brand.
I picked this yarn store over other ones because there are no smokers inside. The yarn was clean and in perfect condition. I dinged them a star because their selection wasn't that large and there are a lot of acrylic blends. However, if you're in the area for a while, they have catalogs and you can order more colors/styles of yarn. read more
