Q: How about adding some info about the best places for yarn/knitting in New York?
For a no-fills knitting experience, The Yarn Tree in Williamsburg not only has an extensive variety of wools, books and knitting implements, but they also offer classes for beginners and pros alike. The shop is small, and the owners and employees make you feel like family. A Billy-burg institution.
Knit New York on 14th Street has it all; classes, yarns-a-plenty, knitting books and tools, and an organic café. The place to go when you want to knit and purl away an afternoon.
