Friend and I decided to visit A Good Yarn. It's a sister shop to Four Purls yarn shop in…read moreWinterhaven, FL I was looking for a particular brand of yarn which the staff at Four Purls told me was available at A Good Yarn. It's a much smaller shop than Four Purls but a really nice store. They carry more upscale yarns and I found yarns I've heard of but never seen or felt. They had the yarn I was looking for and I bought it, along with a few other selections (who can resist?). A great store. I'll visit it again the next time I'm in the area.

Amazing selection of yarn in beautiful colors and different fibers to suit your project. I am fairly new to crochet and this was my first time visiting a dedicated yarn store. The staff were all friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful without hovering. I think four different staff must have assisted me or answered my questions about which fiber textiles worked best for the different projects I had in mind. One even shared a stitch for crochet that I will try: linen stitch. It can be intimidating and overwhelming trying to figure out which yarns work best for different uses and everyone was so helpful. I drove an hour down from Orlando because this store had the most recommendations on reviews and reddit threads and I'm so glad I did. Will be returning for sure and looking forward to catching some of their limited release skeins.

I was in Florida, visiting a friend, and talked her into making the 2 hour trip to Four Purls. Walking in, I was amazed! The place really is HUGE - the largest yarn shop I'v ever been in. The owners were really nice, explaining how the store in laid out with regard to the yarn weights. I asked about Cashmere yarn; they had it. Yak yarn; they had it. Yarns from countries that I didn't know produced yarns - Japan. They have their own private label yarn as well. This is a destination store if you're anywhere in Florida. If you use yarn in any way, you will love this place. I told my friend I'll be back to visit, if only to go back to Four Purls.
