the best yarn shop on the planet:
I love this place. Whenever I'm in Burbank, I magically orient myself in relation to where Unwind is. It's one of the sweetest yarn shops and it's stocked with some gorgeous yarns. While it may not be as cute-as-a-coffeehouse, or have a vast selection of yarns, it has GOOD yarns (Blue Sky, Rowan, etc.) and a great selection of Addis at decent prices. Plus, the staff are the most friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, service-oriented people I've ever encountered in a yarn shop. (Including the owner, Stephanie.) They can order in just about anything you might need. Parking is often a breeze just out front, unless there's something unusual going on nearby. There are yarn tastings, classes, evening knitting groups, yarn clubs, special events - there's ALWAYS something going on! If you've ever been curious to knit or crochet, or if you're an old hand, Unwind is the only yarn shop you need to stop by.
