| - If you're a knitter and in search of some quality yarns, knitting supplies, or advice, Wooly Wonders is the place to go!
From the outside this store seems relatively small, but inside it's stacked floor to ceiling with high quality yarns from every fiber you can think of - all kinds of wool (merino, alpaca, baby alpaca, natural, etc.), a fantastic assortment of silk and silk blends (merino-silk blend has become my new fave fiber), and every gauge fiber you can think of. They have tons of baby yarns, sock yarns, and a decent assortment of chunky, too.
Keep in mind - this store does not have yarns at the cheap end of the spectrum (no $1.99 acrylic skein here), so think of it more along the lines of a yarn boutique (but when I say "boutique" I mean that they have quality yarns that are functionally better - it's not just a brand whore thing). Most skeins will run you $6-$12.
One of the best things the store has to offer is their open-knit sessions. Every Tues, Thurs, and Saturday (and I think they're opening up more days too), they invite knitters to come out and knit together. Those that show up span the range from beginner to expert, and the workers at the store are always beyond happy to help. Service has been excellent every time I've stopped by, they even offer to wind your skein for you (yee-haw!). So, if you don't know what "yo k2 ssk" means, you don't have to pay for an interpretation and they'll show you how to make it happen.
Plus, I've never seen an open knit session without at least one guy present. Boys, keep in mind how flattered your special lady (or guy) friend will be when you hand them that xmas gift of a chunky yarn hug to keep them warm and keep you in their thoughts...
