Pretty, well organized and well lit store, with helpful people, willing to order anything they don't have on hand.  And what they have on hand is all at least partially acrylic, which doesn't work for me.  I was okay hanging out at the table in the middle of the store, far from the shelves that line either wall.  The far part of the store, closest to the counter, has their higher end, acrylic-free yarns.  Pretty stuff but nothing that moved me make a purchase.  And I haven't been back.
