I visited ImagiKnit in San Francisco many years ago and was thoroughly impressed with their huge…read moreyarn selection. Yesterday I visited their new-ish location in Berkeley and once again was impressed. It's a fairly large space (for a yarn shop) and in addition to yarn they offer lots of books, bags, and accessories, including craft items for kids. Their yarn selection doesn't seem to be as large and varied as the one in their SF location, but I could be remembering wrong. The shop was very busy on this Saturday afternoon. It was the end of the 2025 Bay Area Yarn Crawl, so they were offering door prizes and free homemade cookies. My sister won a prize of two skeins of Cascade yarn, a bag, a couple patterns, and a sticker. It was also fun visiting the cute neighboring shops on College Ave. and having lunch across the street at In the Wood. Don't forget to pay for street parking with a credit card; there aren't any signs to let you know it's required.

You feel like you're in a museum surrounded by artifacts, except the prices are so reasonable. Talavera Ceramics brings the real Mexico to us. And there's no one like Lilia, the amazingly knowledgeable gal who has run the place for 20 years. She and the store are truly Bay Area treasures!

Finally got a chance to visit and wish I could've stayed longer to explore every nook and cranny of the shop. I was immediately attracted to the doodahs section which had buttons, metal pieces, glass pieces of tile, cameos, buttons, etc. Grabbed quite a few of these items. They have a selection of ribbon, old and new, by the yard or spool. Since it's Christmas time, they have all sorts of ornaments and decorations. Recommend for any fans of crafting and/or John Derian.

The gallery is a good place to find ceramics, jewelry, and canvases by local artists. I noticed a collection of precise woodblock prints featuring mushrooms and fungi, and a small collection of arresting portraits by local artist, Stephen Maffin, reminiscent of Italian frescoes but also unmistakably contemporary. I miss seeing genuinely authentic, quirky art venues like this around the Bay Area.

I decided to look it up so my girlfriend, her sister, and I can go and check it outwhen. Lord behold it's in Berkeley! Ok, not a big deal, but we all kept thinking that they should fix the location across social media videos. We get there and parking isn't easy to find. You have to park in or around the other warehouses in the area or a couple of blocks away. After we found parking we made our way over and oh it was a huge disappointment to behold. I think we only stayed for a few minutes before we called it a bust and a waste of time. Do not, I repeat, do not believe the videos that these social media influencers are feeding your algorithm. There was so much trash, broken products, and some of the furniture that could be salvaged had ridiculous price tags on them. Some sets were incomplete, coffee mugs were cracked, tools rusted, and when asked about certain electronics working conditions they either didn't know or refused to check. Needless to say we were unimpressed and never coming back.
