(angora booties from "last minute knitted gifts")
Just a few doors down: purl patchwork. I wanted to move to Sullivan Street right then and there, by the way. Love that neighborhood.
The next day, I found a bedroom size habu textiles shop on the 8th floor of an office building:
(psst: that's pure silk, fine as hair)
(silk and merino)
(linen paper yarn)School Products is a completely different experience: an old-time yarn shop, importer of fine Italian yarns. I selected a 2.2 lb cone of merino tweed and had it shipped home. It was a bargain at $30/lb. and 940 yards pp! I haven't photographed it yet.
Some more images and impressions tomorrow. Completely yarnless.

Oooooo! Yarn candy! I've been to School Products (funny name for a yarn store) but the other two shops look like they should be another stop. I might have to make a field trip to visit my brother-in-law and do a side trip. Or maybe the other way around.
I would like to move into that School Products place and live there!
