This is my local yarn store (only 1/2 mile from my house) but I'd come here anyway because it's that good. Selection is good (unless you want cheap acrilyc or novelty yarn - they don't carry either)....

Great if you are a fat-assed woman who wants to sit in a group and gossip and knit. Not so great if you want a good selection of yarns and prompt service. I come here because it is so close to my...

My first true LYS. Okay, I technically bought some DPNs in That Yarn Store in Dublin, but Purlescence has quickly become my local shop. It's right on my way home from work which makes it reasonably...

I mostly go to this store because it carries Malabrigo yarn in many weights and colors. Other than that, the selection is reasonable, but fairly boring. I don't really like the atmosphere of the...

I checked this place out on a whim. You really have to be looking for it, because it's sort of out-of-the-way off El Camino in a strip mall. Prices seem average. (I'm sure the location has to help...

This local yarn shop is just ok. They didn't have any yarns that really wowed me, with most of it being pretty plain. They did have a lot of sock yarns, if you're looking for that, but otherwise not...
