Hello fellow crafters,
I'm going to New York for Easter and wonder if any locals could recommend me good yarn shops, especially in (on?) Manhattan? I would love to browse a couple of shops (as an antidote to my boyfriend's wish to go to all the sneaker shops in NY..). Any tips and hints? I appreciate all advice you can give me!

Many thanks,
Helene, Edinburgh, Scotland
