Ok, now for those in the California State, there are some fabulous yarn stores. One of them being The Knitting Room. That store is very nice! The people there are friendly, helpful and they actually know what they're talking about. Another little yarn store is Yarn Dogs. All I have to say is, wonderful! A must go to! Even though I said bad things about the Rug and Yarn Hut, I just had a bad experience with them once, and I just went back there yestarday (5-19-07) and were very nice and curtious.
