Great selection of books and patterns. Very good selection of yarn and accesories. This is still the Yarn Store (in capital letters) in Mesa. However, they are not happy with children in the store. Even well-behaved children. They have a basket of dirty toys in the corner of their library and curtly direct anyone with children over there. I wouldn't let my children play with them, though. It's much easier to have her "help" me by holding the yarn I'm planning on buying. Most days, that just gets me a lot of disapproving looks. Still, this place has everything from beaded stitch markers to obscure european pattern books to looms to spinning wheels to mordants and dyes. This is the place to go when you can't find what you need elsewhere. But the staff's attitude still keeps me looking elsewhere first. Also, the prices are a bit higher than at the other local yarn shops.
PROS: Selection
CONS: Staff, prices
