Ribbonesque

I’m not sure if this store is owned by the same people as the Island Park location, but since they share a name, I’m going to review the Island Park «branch.»
I gave Ribbonesque 3 stars for their fabulous selection of Noro yarns – but thats about it. Their prices seem fair, especially given that they’re a stand-​alone yarn shop in an area that seems less inclined to needlework. But the rest of their inventory? NOVELTY YARNS. This is the kind of place to go if you want ribbony yarns in icy colors. I definitely wouldn’t source things here for sweater-​making, and wouldn’t refer a serious knitter here. Its a good place, though, for bored, stay-​at-​home Long Island moms who like to make novelty scarves.
Another major drawback? The snobbery. I’m young (22), and was immediately snubbed by the ladies working here as soon as I walked in. Then they proceeded to follow me around. The woman seriously stood like two feet away from me while I was browsing, just staring at me. It was SO uncomfortable.
…I hate to say it, but I will probably return for the Noro on my trips home. Sigh.
