I’m back! This past week was my 29th wedding anniversary with my DH, and we celebrated by taking a few short trips around WI. More about that later though. In the course of our travels, we stopped at a yarn shop in Delavan WI, Needles ‘n Pins.

This shop is kind of in the middle of nowhere. The town of Delavan is actually some distance away, but in spite of the remoteness, it is a pretty good yarn shop! I knew right away I would like this shop, because as soon as we parked the welcoming committee came right out to meet us 🙂

This friendly little guy hung around for scrootches and petting for a bit, but then it was in to the shop.

The shop is this smallish building, but they pack a LOT of yarn in! They had a lot of different brands – lots of Noro and Malabrigo, Berroco, Wonderland, Koigu, and much more. They had a good variety of knitting and crochet books and magazines, and some racks of patterns as well as a fully stocked tool and notion wall. All in all, a really impressive shop! The photo below only shows part of the main room – there are side rooms as well.

I went in without any sort of plan or anything specific I was looking for, but I found a few things anyway.

I saw an example of the Starburst Cowl worked up and decided to get a few skeins for that. The sparkly white yarn is just because I couldn’t resist!

All in all, Needles ‘n Pins is a really good yarn shop, and I highly recommend it! You can shop from them online (link above), but if you are in south central Wisconsin, stop in and see them – you’ll be glad you did!
