2010 | BEST YARN STORE

The Yarnery on Grand Avenue is in an old house, which is fitting, since no other knitting store in the Twin Cities (of which there are a crap-ton) makes beginning and experienced knitters feel so at home.

A lot of these stores are come-latelies, riding the stitch-n-bitch wave of knitting popularity. But the old guard is still where it's at: The Yarnery has welcomed knitters in the same old house on Grand Avenue since the time of macramé and ponchos (the first time around, that is). The selection covers a wide range of prices (of course, nobody knits... More »
