I was in Posh today, and I thought I should offer up a review for others who may not have made it over there. I was never in the old location, but I've been in the new one a couple of times. It's a reasonable drive from my office, so I head over there for some lunch hour retail therapy every so often.
The store is located on Tennyson street in the cute redeveloped arts district. The store is on the east side of the street. The signage isn't all that great, so you kind of have to know where you are going, but it's next door to a yoga place, if that helps any.
The shop is kind of small, but they make good use of the space they have. They also carry a limited supply of roving for us spinning types (this is where I found my new spinning obsession: Fleece Artist Silk/Merino Silver. OMG YUM). The selection isn't uber or anything, but I've been able to find yarn for every project I've had in mind so far. They also have a lot of samples around, which are super inspiring (Gods, I wish I could knit faster).
The owner of the shop is a lady named Sylvia. She's super nice and helpful. Each time I've been in there, she's been totally willing to pull books to look up patterns, or even hop on Ravelry to check out a yarn requirement. She seems to have found that perfect balance that we all search for in yarn shop service; helpful but not in your face; permissive of yarn fondling but not too aloof; etc. The prices in the store are also very reasonable. I've really only comparison shopped on the roving, but the prices were very comparable to what you find online.
All in all, I would have to say that Posh is a great little store. So great, in fact, that I drove about 10 miles out of my way just to buy yarn from Sylvia today. :) If you live in or near Denver and haven't visited yet, you really should.
And so, I leave you with some things I've spun from the roving I bought at Posh:
Aprox 40 wpi silk/merino singles
Navajo Plied silk/merino
