Where to Buy Yarn and Whatnot

Purveyors of Yarn[1]

The Brick and Mortar Stores

Most yarn stores close at least one day per week, so call ahead to find out their hours. Many stores also offer classes and workshops for a fee.  Some shops will give you some general assistance gratis, but this varies wildly from store to store.
