Local Yarn Shops

I live in California, and for folks who have never lived in the Golden State, we sprawl all over the place. To give you an idea, I live more than 40 miles from where I work, and spend a little over an hour each way in my commute. The reason I bring this up is that my idea of a local yarn shop (LYS) is one within about an hour’s drive from where I live or where I work. So… as I review the LYSs around me, you may see some wide distances betwixt and between them.
And so, speaking of LYSs, here’s my list of shops in the greater metro Sacramento zone, in no particular order:

• Got Your Goat Yarn Studio, Roseville (Reviewing)
• Rumplestiltzskin, Downtown Sacramento (Reviewing)
• Filati Fine Yarn, Rocklin (Reviewing)
• Babetta’s Yarns and Gifts, Citrus Heights (Reviewing)
• Auburn Needlework Co, Auburn (To Visit)
• Lofty Lou’s Yarn Shop, Placerville (To Visit)
• Anna’s Yarn Shoppe, Elk Grove (To Visit)
• Shelby’s Place, Sacramento (To Visit) turns out they closed their doors before I found them
• Fig Tree Alley Fiber Arts, Downtown Sacramento (To Visit)

As I complete my reviews of each of them, I’ll add a link to the side of the stores.
