Intimidation

Yesterday, I went to a yarn store. And while it was glorious, on the other hand, it was terrifying. The sheer quantity and variety of yarn in the room was overwhelming. I don't think I saw any familiar brand names; I think some were local spun yarns, but I couldn't swear to it. I know they dye yarn and roving there. Honestly, a lot of the yarns there were nothing I'd care to use; the textures were very rough on many of them. I suppose the clientele of the area must like them.

Question: Which is better: a wide variety, or a small collection of familiar styles? When does quantity become too much?
