I have not been to Aloha Yarn myself, but commenters in the original post and members of Aloha Knitters have given such rave reviews that I've reprinted them here:

Susanbb: "Aloha Yarn in Kaneohe is very complete, even has sock yarn (!), nice people, in the last year has become full spectrum (was previously more lei oriented).  Shares a parking lot with PaKe's which is not-to-be-missed, next to Windward Mall and Zippy's, across the street from the drive-through Starbucks."  Thanks Susan!

Theresa adds: "I frequent Aloha Yarn a lot. Nanea is just wonderful, friendly and very knowledgable. She never makes anyone feels like they are imposing. She has lots of wool, alpaca, cotton, mixed blends. She carries brands like Crystal Palace, Cascade, Gallway and much more. She also carries knitting books, magazines and patterns. Highly recommended yarn store!"  Thanks Theresa!

Moon: "If you havent checked out Aloha Yarn you really must! Nanea is a knitting goddess. ;0) I learned to knit by taking a class with her and she continues to be a wealth of information and enthusiasm in the world of yarn arts. She can help you out of any knitting or crochet fix. And does so with a smile. How great is that???  The yarn has become breath taking as of late with lots of hand dyed goodness for your shawl and sock needs.  Even glittery goodness!!!!  Need I say more? Simply knitting nirvana."

Parking: there is a small parking lot for the building.
