Sitting in this bustling yarn shop and café feels like being back in grandma’s living room, with the news blaring on the TV and the smell of homemade coconut cake ($3 per slice) wafting in from the kitchen. It’s also packed with locally produced and Fair Trade yarns, like Hapi cotton made in the Peruvian village of Munani ($11 per skein), brightly colored Socos yarn that’s hand-dyed in Chile ($12 per skein) and a Hacho merino wool ($10 per skein) whose proceeds benefit the Mirasol Project, a nonprofit that provides food and shelter for disadvantaged Peruvian children. Newbies can learn how to knit and purl at one of Brooklyn Yarn’s free weekly classes.

I love this place. It's my LYS and the Proprietor really knows her stuff. She teaches classes all the time, has a hangout night (Saturday nights 4-7 I believe), and has excellent taste in yarn. I haven't had any of her desserts yet but I hear they're great too. Awesome!!
