Dahlia Bakery is actually on 4th avenue at Virginia, not 5th Ave.

just writing to give a shout out to so much yarn which you dissed- ive had nothing but positive experiences there and havent seen the price difference per ball that you mentioned. i guess every yarn store has something to offer most everyone, too bad you had such a bad experience. ive definitely encountered not so great experiences at other yarn stores in seattle, but wouldnt let them prevent me from getting a different perspective some other time. hope other readers might too…

Can you give me some advice on yarn shops in Vancouver? I live in Prince George and I’m looking for stuff that just isn’t available up here. I love Debbie Bliss yarns, but paying for shipping is a last resort. Do you know which shops, if any carry D.B.? I’ll be in the big smoke on the long weekend coming. Thanks!!

Your blog is great. I love its low-tech-ness. You might want to know that Urban Yarns in Vancouver has a web site now: http://www.urbanyarns.ca

Thanks.

I love Seattle! I visited there last month but don’t know when I’ll get to go back. I only made it to 3 yarn shops when I was there. Next time you visit Seattle, I recommend you visit Churchmouse Yarns & Tea on Bainbridge Island. It’s a small shop, but the people there are so nice.

Next time you’re in Seattle call me! (Of course, by the next time you come down here, I may be moved up there in Vancouver!)

I, too, love Seattle. I wish I lived close enough to make a quick trip!

I grew up in Seattle and now live in Portland, OR, but all my family is still up in the Seattle area so we go often. Last time we were there, my hubby and I went to Lola for dinner and it was soooooo awesome. Hilltop Yarns is so great, isn't it!?

Glad you had a good time in my hometown.

I really enjoyed this post and will come back to it (and the comments) when I visit Seattle. Your choices are lovely. Like you I want to learn how to do Japanese style short rows–let us know if you learn more about this!
