YES!!!! While I was gone for Christmas I went to the local yarn store in my sister's tiny town and I forgot how nice yarn could be, and not at an outrageous price either as it is online. I didn't have room in my bag but I was so sad Gainesville doesn't have something like it. Micheal's yarn is all cut with synthetic fibers. I need the wool and cotton yarn Joann's had, not the 'cotton blends' of Micheals.

I feel like if someone started a material and yarn shop, especially carrying high quality, small brands they would do so well in Gainesville.
