I love to shop at needlepoint and yarn stores. But I was frustrated by how hard it was to find stores when I traveled. Now, with my Travel Guide and website, it's easy!

| Old Oaks Ranch is a truly beautiful working alpaca ranch with a marvelous store on the property. Terrific stock of threads and yarns and supplies for weavers, spinners, knitters, crocheters, nuno and needle felters. There is also an exceptional sculpture garden for visitors to enjoy. It is 5 miles or so north of Wimberly off RR12. |

| The BEST yarn shop I've ever visited. I come here on vacation three times a year and I spend as much time as possible in this shop. The quality of the yarn, patterns and technical assistance cannot be matched anywhere! Jeanne and Brittany are both fabulous ladies with an endless amount of patience to teach and assist knitters of all skill levels. I have learned most of what I know about knitting in this shop. |
