Maybe that's just their polite way of judging the Yarn Barn as entirely mediocre?(FWIW, I went once. It was a fine shop. Very cavernous. I'd go again, given the chance.)
Were they trying to pay an actual compliment? Or were they trying to say that the shop is completely average? *sigh*
A++ class! And a F to Vogue editors (who should have caught the writer's error), and what I am sure is an entirely unmerited C to Yarn Barn.
I took it as evidence of the poor quality of basic math education in this country... honestly, I have two degrees in humanities and I know better than that.The Yarn Barn is an outlier on the 'exceptional quality' end of the curve if you ask me ;-)
