Finally, a more affordable store for finding a good selection of everyday yarn (not the $10 per ounce high-end specialty stuff that seems to be taking over smaller shops).  At Michaels, I can get basic wools and yarns in different weights.

Visited again today to shop through the designer fabrics.  I was in luck as the Joel Dewberry bolts were 30% off, so I stocked up on some modern prints.

I love reading the 1-star reviews -- I just don't get how such crazy situations happen, certainly hasn't been my experience.

I visited early this morning and had my best Dressew day ever -- no lines!

I browsed through the cottons ... the selection has…More »

Although small, the shopkeeper…More »
