any knitters in San Antonio?

Nov 28, 2007 5 Replies

I'll be going there for training in a week and a half, but I'll have my evenings and weekends free. Are there any good yarn shops I need to stake out? Payday occurs while I'm out of town! :o)



Austin here but I know the San Antonio yarn scene.

Yarn Barn of San Antonio, which is actually in Olmos Park (one of those

20-acre burgs that maintains its political autonomy while using all the Big City Services), off of Hildebrandt near the zoo. They close early, however, so plan to skip some training unless you'll be there on Saturday. Fabulous bookstore-in-a-store, sale boxes, single-page pattern heaven and needles out the wazoo.

Check out Jason's for lunch, it's near the zoo and easy to get to from YB.

Yarnivore is newish, on NW Military Parkway. Worth a stop if you'll be in the area but if you have to choose between YB and YV, go to YB.

AND, if you happen to be a handspinner you might want to look up Bill Wyatt and stop by his shop for a ... spin :D Again, not convenient to much but he's accomodating as he lives near the shop.

There is a place called the yarn barn in San Antonio,

Hi Stella. Just an FYI:

San Antonio is nowhere near Plano, Dallas, Hurst or Spring. Texas is a big state - we've got counties that are larger than some New England states. Heck, some of them are larger than a few European countries I can think of.

Hi Wooly The info that I sent is listed on the site Crystal under Texas. I know Texas is a big state ,that is where my Husband was born and grew up at.

I passed on the infomation I found in case if the someone passed through the different areas and wanted to check out the yarn shops.I was just trying to help.
