Yarnscapade #3: Brooklyn General Store
Ah, Brooklyn! So small and quiet- I almost forget that I'm in the middle of a monster city! It's the perfect neighborhood for the homey-yet-chic Brooklyn General Store yarn shop. You almost walk right past the unassuming exterior, but once inside, you're a thousand miles away from the city.
I loved the wonderfully old-fashioned wooden floors and shelves with ladders. It reminded me of being a little kid in Midwest general stores looking at rock candy!
But this time, the colorful sweets were luxurious balls of yarn. I was torn between Pima cotton and merino/bamboo. The merino/bamboo won because it was on sale! ;- )
On such a rainy day as this, it was a bit of color therapy to browse among the haberdashery and notions.
I thought this portrait on the wall was especially sweet. Paying homage to the source of all yummy yarn!
On my way back to the metro, I passed this mantra painted onto the wall- gave the neighborhood a nice and funky vibe!
Create on, friends!
