I’m a newcomer to your blog – found it while looking up NYC yarn stores. (In a few days I’ll be heading over to pay my third visit, but my first since I started knitting, so am v. excited – I’m from Dublin, Ireland, and we have about two decent yarn shops in town. Actually, make that one.)
Thanks for all the great reviews – love the movie comparisons, etc. Was good to know some places on my list have since closed down, has saved me some wasted travel time!
Also, thanks for the weather update. We’d heard it was hot (the Irish summer is over – if it could be argued that it ever began), but that pic really sums it up!
Have whittled my NYC yarn shop visits down to four in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn, as more than that would try even my saintly boyfriend’s patience I think.
So, it’s:
Purl
Knitty City
Seaport
School Products
And that mad-looking place with the incredible needles collection in Brooklyn – Knit-A-Way, I think?
Thanks again, and have added you to my regular knit blogger list.

But they sure are pretty WIPs. 🙂
