Yarn Shop Santa Cruz — Local services in Santa Cruz

This has been one of my favorite yarn shops for years but today was extra amazing so I decided I needed to finally write a review. They always have an adorable array of buttons, stitch markers, and project bags, in addition to all the gorgeous yarn of course. The staff is always so friendly and helpful.

Cory was very patient and helpful answering questions as I tried to figure out what was labeled an “easy” pattern. I was definitely in over my head so Cory found a wonderful blanket pattern on Ravelry for me to try instead. She walked me through this new pattern, set me up with the right sized crochet hook, and I added in a VERY useful “Crochet Stitch Dictionary” book and was on my way. 12 weeks later, working in my spare moments, baby blanket is done! Thank you so much Cory for your guidance! I absolutely loved this project. (My Cherub Baby Blanket, Pattern...
