spinning.

while my sister was here

we paid a visit to one of our favorite stores

‘spun’

i’ve written about it before

while i’m not a knitter

my sister is very good at it

 we both love the feeling

of being in the store

it’s whimsical and welcoming

the yarns, so beautiful

  always a bit of fun and community going on

like their brilliant ‘tour de fleece’ event

for spinners of all kinds

and

i especially love

the tiny baby sweaters.

 

(warning: sweaters are much tinier than they appear in the photo)

and

there’s a surprise

a tiny baby sheep is in the pocket

shhhh….

  1. i think i’ve said it before, my sis is an ardent knitter and belongs to a knitting circle. they spend more money on materials than it is good for them but they enjoy the being together, keeping their hands busy and re-modelling the world.
    i also would dearly love that shop and those tiny jumpers and vests are absolutely adorable!

    • this is wonderful. it is not only that they are talented and can create things, but the social aspect and calming nature are a great bonus. yes, i think you would also love the shop –

  6. Like most on here I don’t knit or even crochet but I do love a good wool shop and often come home with some wool, needles or crochet hook and good intentions to then give said craft stuff to my sister-in-law for Christmas ;) x

  12. I only know the basics of knitting and have asked a friend to teach me how to move forward to more interesting projects – retirement project ;-)
    That said, I love stores like this and would peruse at leisure, even if I don’t know what to do with the yarn!

  13. Love the little sheep in the cardigan pocket. I’ve never progressed beyond basic knit and purl but strangely do love a mooch in a wool shop or leafing through a pile of knitting patterns.

  14. My niece knits daily. Shes a lecturer at a uni here in FL, so I dont know where she finds the time. But it seems to calm her when her minions are going wild.
    I loved the “tour du fleece” sign. Lol.
