I first found this store in the summer of 2007 while in NYC for work. I travel all over the country & make a point of visiting yarn shops in every city I visit or work in. This is a small shop as far as sq. ft. They squeeze a lovely & diverse selection in without it feeling overly cramped. It feels cozy. The variety of both colors & fiber types is significant. This is the best set of "sale" bins I've seen. I say this because there is always a variety of colors & fibers for sale. I'm in NYC for a year or so & am so glad this store is close. The staff are cheerful, pleasant & strike just the right balance between giving a customer space & being available to answer questions. They are equally welcoming to veteran & novice knitters. I know this because I'm usually in the store for over an hour contemplating the selection, so I see their interaction with a variety of people. I've seen quite a variety of people in the store from theatre folk to Park Ave ladies to students. I like the diversity & warmth of the clientele. I recommend this store to both the novice & the veteran as worth the trip.. several trips.
Pros: Variety of fibers/colors, Welcoming Staff
Cons: no room for a mid-size table to congregate around
