Yarn Connection

Yarn Connection (now closed)
Madison Avenue off of E. 37th St.
Upstairs

Tight, tiny store, dusty. Old magazines. Needles located behind the door. The staff had their favorite people and was more than willing to chat with them. I asked for help and got it, but not good help – I told the woman I am allergic to acrylic, showed her the yarns I’d picked up, at my request she located other colors for me but she never bothered to tell me that two of the balls I’d picked up contained acrylic. What part of allergic didn’t she understand? And of course the store had gone out of business, so I couldn't return it.
