Fiber Store in Paradise

I found the fiber shoppe in Paradise: Island Yarn & Art Supplies. (Okay yes, they carry a great stock of painting and drawing supplies, too.) I know it doesn't look like the typical yarn shop from the outside. It is in a warehouse district, but once inside those doors.... Wow! There are clean, airy, spacious rooms for weavers to work on floor looms. Island Yarn is the Schacht dealer so they also have spinning supplies. (Caught sight of a Matchless in a corner.) I got their address from the Schacht web page, as a matter of fact. There are bags of wool roving local and from the "usual sources," and even the rare, local alpaca bat. Yummy! Also available were buttons made from local koa or lichee woods. It's the only yarn/fiber store I've found in Hawaii so far, although there is a rumor of another shop on Kauai. Maui was shockingly lacking (Ben Franklin and Walmart for yarn supplies). Next time you're in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island, stop in. Did I mention that the second floor is where the yarn is?!
