The second store I visited in Philadelphia was Nangellini on South Street. It is in a more residential area than commercial, although there is a Whole Foods nearby. The store is a split-level shop with hand-knit items and artwork for sale in the front part. The back upstairs part is where most of the yarns are hiding.
I would describe this shop and its contents as "funky". There is a wide variety of textures, fibers, and colors. Nangellini also carries some Kraemer and Plymouth yarns (local PA yarns) as well as Claudia Hand Paint and J Knits. There is even some J Knits hand-dyed roving. I also picked up a "custom blend" of mohair and a metallic.
