I love to visit local yarn stores (LYSs) when I'm traveling.
Its always great to see the different products that different stores carry and
how the merchandise is displayed. I particularly like stores with great names.
I lean toward LYSs with cute and clever names, and I love a good play on words.
I've put together a list of the best names I've come across. I'm not receiving any compensation from listing these stores. I don't have any relationship to any of them. In fact, I've only been to a couple of them (which I've indicated with an * ). These LYSs are on this list solely based on their names. I've included links to their websites if you want more information about them.
