I went because they are open when los of other places are closed. This snug space on Solano has easy parking, and loads of gorgeous yarns. They have places to sit and work together even. Staff are very knowledgeable and they even wound my yarn into a ball for me!

Friendly, organized space. I wish there were more sock yarn choices, but good quality and fair prices.
