yarn shopping what could be nicer...............

My friend Pam came to stay last week and it was a perfect opportunity to have a trip to Black SheepWool - such a wonderful yarn emporium. We had a wonderful few hours browsing the shelves and selecting our wares. Also since I last visited they have added a lovely little coffee shop, which means you can shop, rest and then shop some more – what more could you ask for!
Such an amazing selection of all things yarny and crafty, and great value - attributes all good crafty outlets should aspire for.

I had promised myself to resist temptation and not overspend. I only bought what I needed and kept to budget. I decided on some extra fine merino, a few balls of grey cotton, some lovely fine 4ply, and lastly some bright mingled chunky.

a perfect day, talk soon x

    Looks wonderful. I consider myself to have been restrained if I can still fit through the door with my loot!

    What a fabulous shop! I have seen the name mentioned on various blogs, but never realised that it was an actual shop. I bet that you and your friend had a great time. Looking forward to seeing what your new yarns turn into! xx

    I love Black Sheep Wools and it's only a short drive away from me - too close sometimes ;) I always go for their sale armed with a list to help me focus and always end up with extra goodies. x

    You did a great job restraining yourself, the yarn in the store is so beautiful it must have been hard. So glad you had a nice day out with a friend.
    Hugs,
