I’ve heard about this place for years but finally had a chance to stop in. I was greeted by the owner Miki and eventually George (her loving dog) introduced himself to me. The store itself is chock full of treasures—yarn, macrame cord, bobbles, buttons, looms—anything you could possibly need to knit or crochet. A lot of the yarn is vintage, which is amazing because the prices are just as vintage. Today I walked away with two skeins of mohair to make a beret, both skeins were priced under $6. Mohair today can cost upwards to $15 on some sites, maybe more? I’d been curious to try working with mohair and Miki gave me some great advice about different types of mohair, weight, and hook sizes. She also encouraged me to to try something new and different, and to not be afraid to customize my work so that it fits me. Patterns are just suggestions! I plan to return and bring a friend or two. Support your local yarn shop. Miki’s been in this spot for over 50 years!
