We tagged along with Charles last weekend to Tyler, Texas, where he went to an archeological conference. Tyler is big enough to have more than one yarn shop and several used book stores. Perfect!
Granny’s Needle Haus on S. Broadway is definitely worth a visit. The store carries all kinds of needlework supplies. The yarn selection is not large, but it is fine for most knitting and crochet projects.
To its great credit, Granny’s Needle Haus is crochet-friendly! There were lots of crochet books and a good selection of threads. I bought a book with patterns for beaded crocheted snowflakes.
Right across the parking lot was Bead Crazee. It was a bead extravaganza! Eva found beads in her favorite yellows and greens. Ella and I sighed over the pink beads. We bought a strand of pink pillow beads to share (the squarish beads in the middle of the photo above).
Bead Crazee has buttons, too. I needed these.
We had to cut our shopping trip short, because Ella really, really wanted to swim in the indoor pool at the motel. We hope Charles will go to next year’s archeological conference, so we can explore more yarn stores in Tyler.
