A. C. Moore

A. C. Moore in Glendale (Queens), NY
Union Turnpike between 69th Ave and Woodhaven Blvd.
In back on the left in the Stop and Shop shopping mall

Huge, fluorescent lit craft store. Yarn is straight back from entrance, against the far wall. The staff is not helpful, is frequently dismissive and downright rude. More interested in chatting with each other than in helping you. But they’re quick to ring you up, don’t have to be told to open another cash register, and answer questions accurately (surly manner not withstanding). Yarn is basic stuff – Patons Classic Wool, Peruvian wool, Alpaca, cottons; some of the better blended yarns (cashmerino, silk/wool); and “other” yarns like the Spa stuff and the ones with Soy Solids (?). Very reasonable prices. Items easily 10-15% cheaper for the exact same items in Manhattan stores. Example: clover bamboo US10.5 29” circular needles were just under $10 at AC Moore, and US11 24” circular needles were $11.50 at Knit NY. Reams of Red Heart for $2-3/ skein.
