Yarn shops have personalities and this has a great one. While visiting our daughter (well,…read moreactually, our newest grandchild), I wanted some yarn for a cardigan, and, incidentally, our daughter needed some sewing tools so she could start using the new sewing machine she received for Christmas.
I found some wool; the selection was excellent. But the service and help here is even better! Hennie the clerk was wearing the most beautifully knitted Aran style sweater I've ever seen. Yes, Hennie had knitted it herself. I told her I wanted the directions for the stitch on a display sweater but wanted to make only a scarf. She found the book, found the directions, photo copied them for me, translated them for me (my Dutch is non -existent), and then demonstrated each stitch for me to be sure we understood each other.
I had eyes only for yarn, but the shop also has just what we needed for sewing. Daughter got thread, scissors, big and small, bobbins, chalk, etc.
The location is great, very easy to find and get to. There's a work table in the back, a kid's play table (and huge patience from Hennie--- toddler grandson was with us), seriously ---- if I lived here, this would totally be my yarn shop.
Huge selection, great service, friendly atmosphere--- this is as good as it gets!
