9638 N. May Ave., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, (405) 286-3737.
The LYS of Oklahoma City, located in a brick shopping center on North May Avenue, a very short distance from I-44, certainly lives up to the name “gourmet” with delights of all kinds. A wide selection of novelties, synthetics, import and domestic wools greeted the eyes upon entering the well organized shop. Shop displays featured basic to complex cabled scarves, sweaters, purses and patterns for each.
Melissa and Margaret, the knowledgeable and friendly staff and owner, respectively, helped me select an appropriate skill level cable pattern to use for Plymouth Yarn Co.’s bulky Alpaca yarn in a gray mist. They created a homey and welcoming environment for friend and newcomer alike. As a result of their enthusiasm, the Thursday afternoon group, the “Black Sheep,” has grown to an average of 20 members who come to the shop, to sit, knit, visit and experiment with new yarns.
Volumes of single patterns, magazines and books are easily located and available for perusing or purchasing as well as the latest Maggie Sexton or Debbie Macomber knitting novel. If you ever are in Oklahoma City, this shop merits a visit. Plan to spend Thursday afternoon with the Black Sheep and pleasantly while away the hours visiting with the local “yarn” enthusiasts.
