From floor to ceiling, everywhere you look you’ll find yarn, yarn, and more yarn.
Allison Isaacs and the friendly staff at ImagiKnit are fantastic at helping you find the right yarn you’ll need for any project. I’ve been coming to this store since it first opened and I always find inspiration ogling and touching all the yarns they carry.
You can also just sit in their craft book area and search for your next project through their extensive pattern binders, books, and magazines, or sit on their cozy couches and chairs and cast on your new project.
Hone your craft skills by taking any one of their classes, from knitting and crochet 101 to spinning.
You’ll definitely find lots of fiber love at ImagiKnit.
Food Match: Stroll across the street to Samovar Tea Lounge ( samovartea.com) for a pot of green tea and their tea-infused cookie plate. Then sit back and knit or crochet in serenity.
