    The blue Koigu was purchased at The Yarnery.  The red Koigu came from elsewhere.

    I've been coming to this yarn store for more years than I've actually been knitting. It's funny how that works. If you know anything about the history of knitting, you'll know that the craft has been around for eons and through the ages has evolved from being a task accomplished primarily by men to something that was done only by women to something that was done only by maiden aunts and grandmas to something that is now hip and trendy and done by famous people like Julia Roberts, Vanna White and Cameron Diaz (google it if you don't believe me). When I was a kid, my mom taught me to knit. I didn't take to it and at the time saw it as yet one more weird and wacky way that she was trying to force me into committing social suicide. She never forced the issue and then about five years ago, I approached her and asked for a refresher. She was thrilled and I've been knitting ever since. So it's very weird for me to come to The Yarnery because I have vivid memories of coming here with my mom and my grandma as a teenager and hating every minute of it. Only now I LOVE coming here! I plan entire days around coming to this yarn store and then visiting all the other shops in the area (it's in the Summit/Grand neighborhood). It isn't very big but they make good use of the space they have. It's on the first floor of a house that was converted into a store so when you walk in, it has a very homey feeling with lots of little rooms full of shelves and yarn and nooks and crannies that are perfect for exploration. They have a large supply of some of my favorites such as Cascade 220, Noro and Koigu. *le sigh* I also can't come here without checking out their gorgeous selection of mohair (gotta touch 'em!), unique buttons and other types of fun novelty yarns.

    The Yarnery is a shop selling out of what was once a Grand Ave house. This made it a bit difficult to tell whether certain areas were "off limits" or just another room or nook to explore. Yarns were grouped by type (cotton, linen, lace, chunky, etc) versus by brand, and there were sometimes multiple sections for each type. The layout would be helpful once memorized a bit, but as a Yarnery newbie, it meant a lot of searching and label checking, especially for yarns that could be classified in multiple areas. General impression of the store is that it is a pretty traditional knitting shop, and based on the sampled pieces and colorways carried, I would guess many of their customers are middle-aged. Everything was well labeled, they had many different pattern books and periodicals (some of which I am not familiar with), so plus there. Quite a few yarn brands were represented, it seemed they skipped the low quality (thank goodness) and were really sticking with the mid (Cascade, Berroco, Rowan, etc) and upper (Malabrigo, Dream in Color, Madelinetosh, etc) brands. Pricing: super fair, especially for the Twin Cities. I picked up a set of sz 4 Britany DPNs for $7.25 and some skeins of Rowan Cocoon for $16.20/ea. The shop is too far for me to consider for classes- when I have good shops that are closer- but for a different yarn selection and a cozy atmosphere to shop, this is a great little place.
