Weaving, like riding, is one of those things that I always mean to get around 
to, but never seem to find the time or money to do.  
Yes, Straw into Gold is fabulous.  Walk through the double doors and you'll 
see a wide aisle with sale yarns, the bulletin board with class schedule and 
neat info, and so on, with the main counter at the back, facing the doors.  
As you walk in, the half of the store to your left has knitting (ball) yarns, 
needles and other supplies, and patterns; the book and magazine section; and 
the kids' play area; the half of the store to your right has all the cone 
yarns and weaving stuff.  They also do mail order -- let me know if you need 
contact information.

I had the money to get a horse, I'd have to think seriously about getting a 
Fjord.
