I am a knitter, so that is what first brought me here. BUT, Antje, the proprietor, is one of the most friendly and helpful I have ever encountered. No one is a stranger here. The shop is small, but has a surprising variety of fabulous yarns. I had cake and tea and knitted until she closed. Antje will sit and chat with customers about all sorts of things. Be prepared to laugh and joke with everyone. Even if you don't knit, you will not feel out of place here, so don't hesitate to bring your non-knitting partner to enjoy the food and setting while you fondle the yarn. Also, Antje is a very knowledgeable knitter and can help you choose yarn and decipher a difficult pattern.
