I had heard that ArtFibers, that home of dazzling one of a kind custom yarns you cannot get anywhere else, was closing its brick and mortar store and switching to online-only sales, but visiting the shop last week made me all the more mournful.

This is the store whose yarn I have loved (no, worshipped) since I began knitting several years ago. Just being WITH these unique yarns - made for ArtFibers - makes me happy, and it's hard to do that online. By the same token, I have loved everything I have bought there, so ordering online should not be so hard, and I'll definitely keep on buying.

For those of you who haven't visited the store, get in there now; it closes in January. They have lots of GORGEOUS yarn left, much of it discounted (up to 30% off). Give yourself a chance just to mingle among the balls and cones and amazing colors; I always come away from ArtFibers happy.

I will truly miss this one of a kind wonderland of yarn.

I went in week before last during what should have been normal business hours, and they were locked up tight as a drum.

Just lost a reason to travel to San Francisco. What a shame! Wish them luck on line but don't see how such fantastic feels and looks will sell there

Oh, no - a visit to Artfibers is always one of the highlights of my trips to SF. I hope I get the chance to go before it closes.
