I really like seeing staff and racks of yarn, plus the suggestions.
Also, I like and appreciate your site, selections, and service.
However, as a crocheter I really feel left out in the cold by the bulk of site, as they are geared to knitters and not much so to the crochet community.
Thanks again.
Happy Holidays
