That there are 30,000 balls of yarn at Coveted Yarn? If you knit or know anyone who knits, you have to check out Coveted Yarn. Robert Porter (who I sometimes call David, as did one of his school teachers because he has a cousin David that she confused him with – I have no excuse except that I am bad with names), is so cute and sweet, but also very knowledgeable about yarn, which he has to be because of all the colors, varieties, styles, shapes, weights, textures, fibers, strengths, patterns, flexibility, uniformity, and sizes of yarn that he carries. I don’t knit, but I love going into Coveted Yarn because of the veritable feast of colors, shapes and textures that astound you as you walk into his shop, and because Robert is so nice to visit with. If you do knit, you will find yourself knitting your brow trying to decide what to buy; but Robert will be right there to help you make the right decision for your project. I have listened to him patiently talking customers through the ordeal of picking just the right yarn. Even if you don’t knit, but have friends that do, it is a great place to pick up a really cool skein of yarn as a gift – and maybe they’ll knit something really nice for you. As one Yelper said: “This is one great place to find quality yarn at a reasonable price.” He also carries all the accoutrements of knitting that you could need. And That’s No Yarn!
