[SCA-BMDL] OT: Yarn store

[myfanwy at nauticom.net]

Greetings from Myfanwy!
Yes, this is a good place.  Yes, this is the same place that used to be in
Squirrel Hill, with the same owner (just four times the size of her old
location).
Martha is sort of peripheral SCA, and her boyfriend is Robin the Just (for
those who remember him).
The local mundane spinners guild had a spin-in there a couple of months
ago, as well.  I'm not sure if Martha is going to start carrying wheels,
but she does have other spinning stuff.
