Woolplay - A Yarn Store in Haddonfield

Due to some health concerns in my parents, I have  been spending a bit of time back in my hometown.  I haven't lived in very many places in my life.  The first 18 years I lived in Haddonfield, NJ.  The rest of the time has been spent in different cities in Maryland, mostly in one place there. Its safe to say I am not big on moving.  But recently, I had an amazing find, back in my hometown.  Driving back from one of Mom's appointments I spotted a unexpected sight.  There, on a side street off the main highway, was a WOOL STORE!  Be still my heart.  I could hardly wait to ditch mom, I mean get her safely settled in at home, so I could go check out this mecca.  I was able to get back out before long, even if only for a short time, and explore the store called WOOLPLAY.  Cute name.  Wonderful inside as out.  Beyond the unassuming door was a creatively displayed store full of beautiful natural wool fibers. Skein after skein of soft hand dyed yarn.  Some of the names were familiar and some were new to me. 
I loved the arrangement in the irregular shaped room. Upstairs, more surprises awaited including a group of ladies working on projects, and a SALE AREA!   Horray, now I could take home a souvenier of my fun outing.  Unfortunately, I had to get going.  But I will be back!  One side note to the finding of the yarn store was that I noticed there were  lots of new stores in town.  When did my little hometown develop such a personality!  Everywhere I looked, another shop beckoned me.  Alas, I would have to explore another day.  But I did manage to get a few more photographs in before heading back to Mom. 
Sorry Marlee.  I will try to stop in next time I am in town.  I think its funny that both of us grew up to own  gift stores!


definitely have to stop in here next time.  A store called Picket Fence.  Too cute!

If I had a baby or grandbaby I would be shopping here.  Decadent beauties for babies.
