The Red Sweater

You’ll find the store on the second floor, up an unassuming and narrow staircase, in a little room, walls filled with completely unique, hand painted and imaginative yarns. If you like Colinette, this is a yarn store for you. I found myself overcome with creativity. Really overcome as I couldn’t think straight, but moved from swatch to swatch, excitedly touching each one and imagining the possibilities. The store encourages personal design and helps you create a pattern with your yarn purchase. I personally didn’t have time because we got to the store with only 2 hours until close and I spent all of those 2 hours browsing and comparing colors and fiber types. Finally settling on 6 different yarns I came home with a scarf, a hat or two and a sweater. Gorgeous. If you’re in San Francisco, this is a must see store. Also, check out their web site - they will send 5 yard samples so you can make a swatch before buying.
