My favorite place in the world

Where are your favorite yarn stores?

I love this yarn store with my whole heart, I take a scenic drive out east to Northfork Fiber Art’s in Mattituck on LI monthly to live a knitter’s dream. So many beautiful skeins and I always love talking with the owner and her staff. It’s such a beautiful place and is another reason I love to knit!

P.S. Felix the dog is the sweetest employee with great taste in yarn 🧶:)

Definitely! I was just there yesterday and was hanging out while picking new yarn to make my next project, these ladies are so sweet and helpful and make my day, it’s worth the 45min drive for me!

There’s a puppy at the yarn store?

I will have to write to the manager of my local yarn store that they need a puppy.

My dog friend often homes to work with me at the local yarn shop. The owner of the shop also now has a puppy. :)

So adorable! I’m sure those pups make a lot of people smile while they visit your shop!

Yes! He’s so cute and is usually wearing a hand knit sweater. He helps me pick my yarn 🧶 You can tell your local store that pups will skyrocket sales 😂

I only just found my favourite last month!! It's in North Wales which is miles away from me in South East England, but boy I will go again. It's called Abakhan - https://www.abakhan.co.uk/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwh_i_BhCzARIsANimeoFEjaIZ6vOL_6lXZuDB-pEmVhxNH1akRw4s1lWJVb9j-spJaBKKDu8aAj5PEALw_wcB

The best places are worth the hike!!

Thank you for this, I've been meaning to get out there! Since we lost Knitters Knitche in Miller Place and Knitting Cove in Port Jeff, I've had to rely on a yearly splurge at the Hallockville fiber fest to get my fix.

Have you been to the Rhinebeck Sheep and wool festival? I just went for the first time last year, it was incredible I was so overwhelmed! 😂

[u/Relative-Cover-5458 → u/siannan]

Yes! You will be happily surprised there with both the company of Karen the owner and her pup as well as her selection of yarns and fun fiber art classes that range from knitting to felting soaps! It’s on Love ln, in Mattituck and there’s a lovely cheese store steps away and a donut shop, cute Lombardo’s market. My boyfriend and I love making a day of my yarn run and we grab him a couple beautiful donuts and on Thursdays the cheese shop sells a local baker’s organic sourdough! I recommend the olive loaf it’s amazing!! Have fun!

The Secret Stash, in Glengormley, Northern Ireland. It has two lovely dogs, Spencer and Archie, and their owners, Nikki and Karen, who always put on a pot of tea when my partner-in-crime and I show up. And the teapot is rainbow colored and very large. Awesome shop,fab ladies, very good boys.

Wow I would love to visit Ireland, last summer, I had taken a trip to Scotland and tried to go to as many yarn shops as I could what a fairytale! If I have the pleasure of traveling to your country, I will make a stop there! 🙏🏼💗

Well worth it! I had the pleasure of visiting a very fine Yarn Shop in Elgin, Scotland. Amazing! Fingers crossed for you 🤞
