A Great Find in Los Altos

Yelp.com Review - by susan m.

5.0 of 5 stars. I usually don't shop in Los Altos because it's old fashioned and pretty much caters to an older clientele (my age) BUT I do travel the extra miles to this store when I need yarn. It's a modern breath...

Yelp.com Review - by Betsy B.

5.0 of 5 stars. The other reviews already cover some issues with FTA, so here's another perspective. I think Hollis takes it to the next level of LYS by offering interesting classes, weekends away, kids camp, and...

Yelp.com Review - by Jane L.

3.0 of 5 stars. There seems to be some potential in making this store an okay-I'm-in-the-area to I-have-to-go-here. When I went, everything was in disarray, but understandable since many shops are still recovering...

Yelp.com Review - by Ani G.

4.0 of 5 stars. I love this store, and I love that Hollis made a big effort not to overlap with Uncommon Threads. She doesn't need to- they do their thing, and she does hers, and everyone benefits from having 2...

Yelp.com Review - by labpugglechi x.

3.0 of 5 stars. I do like this shop more than the other in downtown Los Altos, Uncommon Threads, but still not as good as my favorite yarn store, Knitting Arts. I did find the owner friendly and helpful, but she...

Yelp.com Review - by Valerie F.

4.0 of 5 stars. Wow! The yarns in this shop are medium range to high end, with emphasis on the higher end. Some of the yarns they carry are simply gorgeous, though it's hard to justify $50 for a single skein (all...
