                                              4210 Bridge St Entrance on main street
                                                          Cambria, CA, 934258

   What can I say except I love love love this shop. The most amazing colors and textures can be found here. What sets this store apart are the two people who seem to be the heartbeat of the shop.
 Kris and Oz (Pictured above), are two of the most down to earth people I have ever met. With a plethora of patterns from sweaters, shawls, scarfs, to fingerless gloves and sock hats there is something for everyone.  The novice to the highly skilled will find warm a warm welcome.  Carol (pictured below) one of the staff members and a great knitter, is very kind and helpful, she helped me gather supplies for a second project I am working on since the first was so much fun. 

From the time you walk into the shop your surrounded by color, inspiration and all the supplies you'll need, along with friendly advice to get you from start to finish on whatever your heart wants to create.   Great books ! Great needles!  Fabulous yarns!  An all around great place to create!

All though many events this year in Califor...

Hi Ho fiber friends Well, like a lucky penny I’m back. I am here to share another Great yarn shop  I found on my adventures a lot closer   to home than I thought.
