Know we have a few knitters/crocheters in the group. Wondering if there are any must see yarn shops in the New England area?

WEBS in Northampton, MA is the mack daddy of yarn stores. My DD took me there last October and it was a cool experience.

I hear that Webs in Northampton, MA is great. There is another shop in nearby Amherst, MA but I haven't heard of them before.
My cousin's wife, who is a very accomplished knitter and crocheter, loves Webs and tries to stop in and shop there when they come to this end of the state to visit.

Where in NE are you looking for? Anywhere in New England. Will be in different areas in the upcoming months so just curious about some tried and true recommendations. I've been to Webs once...well worth the trip! |

I was going to recommend Sakonnet Purls in Tiverton RI, it's been a while since I went there, but they had beautiful yarns. Apparently they only do on line sales now. Yarn shops in my neck of the woods are few and far between, most have closed which stinks because I like to touch my yarn before I buy. I do order on line now if it is a brand I'm familiar with. Well I was just no help at all.  |

Inspire 2 knit and tea in Plymouth Nh is a lovely store. The Web store in Northhampton Ma is great. Those are my two favorites right now.
