They don't lack of other types, but you can find lots of fabric with thematic images. For example, you can find moose, cabins, loons, turtles, rocks, water, etc., and that's just in one set of shelves. I even found some Minnesota-themed fabric. It is worth noting that they are happy to cut you a fat quarter if that's what you prefer. They also have a large assortment of patterns and books. I wish this place were closer to me (I'm in the Twin Cities), because I love the selection of wares. If you like quilting, you must stop in here!

We made it there a half hour before closing time. Still, the two ladies were happy to let me look around. There was a great variety to choose. I settled on a lovely batik to use in a quilt for my sweet hubby. He has been encouraging me along with this hobby. I grabbed a couple other items and was on my way. I doubt if I will be stopping back in as I live 5 states away, but local quilters should stop in and support this shop

We had just pulled out of the parking lot at Russ Kendall's and were back onto scenic route 61…read moredriving north when I saw a large sign with the words "YARN." Yarn? "YARN," I shouted and immediately spun to my right and into the driveway of what looked to be someone's house. Now, you probably think I'm some sort of hardcore knitting addict but that isn't the case. I just got back into knitting and am in the middle of knitting a pair of hand warmers for my brother's girlfriend. I bought yarn that was slightly thinner than the yarn I used to make my first pair of hand warmers, so it looked really "loose" on the needles. I wanted a slightly smaller set of needles but ran out of time before our trip. I sort of/definitely planned to stop at whatever yarn place there was to scratch that itch of feeling unprepared. So that's how we ended up at Playing with Yarn. I immediately found a set of size 2 bamboo needles for the insanely low price of $4.70. Granted these were not Clover's Takuma needles but they were bamboo and under five dollars. I took a look at the yarn - there is a pretty wide selection- before paying. I knit mostly in my school years, so any skein of yarn over $9 is pricey to me even if it's super nice merino wool, hand dyed, blah blah blah. It's a very small shop to be sure, but the owners are nice and the selection is good and decently priced. Also, if you go up to the second floor, there is a great view of Lake Superior!
