Yarn shop shopping

[jpr54_]

I spent a lovely Indian Summer Day looking at yarn.

 

I visited Yarnware in West Orange,

New Jersey(www.yarnware.com) and also

Modern Yarn, 32 A church Street in Montclair, New Jersey

(www.modernyarn.com).

 

Both shops had a great selection of yarns and staff were friendly and helpful.

There are now 3 yarn shops in Montclair

1)modern yarn

2)stix-n-stitches-211 GlenRidge Avenue

Montclair, NJ 07042

973-796-2868

www.stix-n-stitches.com

The place was filled with knitters not a crochet person in sight beside myself.

I knit true left hand-I want to learn how to knit socks and I cannot find anyone who can teach me-everyone wants me to knit right handed or continental including the owner of this shop. The yarns were beautiful and atmosphere great but i still felt unfortable.

3)Ely's

this is an old fashioned store-not sure the age of the yarns or books but owner was friendly and helpful.
