I recently had a request from an annonymous reader about my Local Yarn Shoppe, so I am sharing this information here. However, even if you don't live close, they do take orders and ship items, so my LYS can be your shop, too. They do have a wonderful selection of yarns from around the world and are very helpful. I would recommend them to all of you.
Anyway, my LYS is located in Columbia, Missouri. Hillcreek Yarn Shoppe For us country dwellers, a 75 mile drive is still considered local. After growing up in the city, that took a little getting used to. Soon after I moved here I was invited to a "neighborhood" party. I remember looking out the window of our 1900's farm house at the fields that lay beyond and wondering what on earth this person was talking about. I had grown up in a neighborhood in the city where our backyard neighbors were just beyond our chain-link fence, 100 ft from our back door. So with no other houses in sight, I could not imagine to what neighbors she was referring. Come to find out, anyone within a 3 mile radius of my home was considered a neighbor!
Guess I have adjusted to this way of thinking, since I often refer to Hillcreek Yarn Shoppe as my LYS. It is a bit of a drive, but well worth it and a real treat. Hope this helps and that you are able to do business with them, also. Happy Snow Day!

My LYS or any LYS is about 100 miles away, so I get it. :-) Your store looks like a real treat.
Hi friend! :) I had to giggle when reading about your neighborhood party. It's all perspective. Your ears burning last night? We went out with friends and of all things, LP came up. Miss you guys. xoxo
I wouldn't like to be that remote if I am honest. We have friends neighbours all around us, but we are detached. It makes me feel safe knowing there is someone nearby. As for wool shops, ours are either very poor or too expensive. I buy as much as possible online nowadays. Dev x
