East Village-based photographer Gudrun Georges recently highlighted one of her favorite shops in the neighborhood — Downtown Yarns, 45 Avenue A between Third Street and Fourth Street.
From Gudrun's photo site:
Rita Bobry, the owner who studied art and loves to work with colors, opened this gem of a store 17 years ago ...
The store has a finely edited collection of yarns, many of them local and sustainable, as well as all of the necessary supplies for the needle crafts.
The store offers a whole range of classes from beginner classes to advanced sweater design workshops. The super friendly staff is always happy to help.
There is Rita who besides being an expert knitter always comes up with the most stunning window displays.
