…f Wool address: 40 Govetts Leap Road, Blackheath, NSW. Australia. website: www.facebook.com/TheHouseofWool/ date of visit: December, 2012 I love traveling, and I love visiting yarn shops. It’s probably no surprise to you that I like to do both things at the same time! I was delighted to hear about a new yarn shop, House of Wool, opening in rural New South Wales, Australia… which was directly on the road to my trip out to the country! Y…

Purl Soho: New York, NY
…(one of my personal faves), Louet, Habu, Alchemy, Imperial Stock Ranch (a company with its own breed of sheep!), koigu, jade sapphire, lobster pot.. and I could keep going on. It’s a lot of yarn- and it’s all fabulous. I’ve only listed some of the yarns… but another amazing thing about Purl Soho is that their website is awesome. They don’t just list the brands that they carry- they list every yarn (in every color) th…

…ress: 930 Massachusetts Street Lawrence, KS 66044 website: www.yarnbarn-ks.com/ date of visit: November, 2009 Let me begin by saying that even if the Yarn Barn were in the middle of nowhere, it would be worth the drive to visit.

The Yarn Barn’s reputation precedes it: known as a yarn, weaving and spinnin…

…e Street, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia website: www.artsandcraftsnsw.com.au/ date of visit: January, 2010 Okay, so this category is usually reserved for yarn stores… but today is an exception. Australian yarn can be very difficult to find (as I’ve said in my previous posts about visits to Australian yarn stores). I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve walked into an Australian yarn store, and asked, “Do you h…

…il I went to a large number of yarn stores that just sold yarn. I’ve come to love the community aspect of a yarn store… and this place has it. Okay, enough of my ramblings about the greater functions of yarn stores in society… onto the details. Morris and Sons is a two-floor store, with needlepoint and such on the top floor, and knitting & crochet yarns on the bottom floor. Like I said, they have classes, a table, a book cor…

…e: Loop address: 1914 South Street, Philadelphia, PA website: www.loopyarn.com date of visit: March, 2010 I was very excited to visit Loop, because I had heard things. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a neat freak… and I had been told that Loop was too neat, even for me. Someone even used the word ‘sterile’. To tell you the truth, I doubted that a yarn store could actually be ‘sterile’ (it’s yarn! ItR…
