Thanks to a friend I have been enjoying the Great London Yarn Crawl yesterday . An event that brings together many wool lovers for a day walking several stores in London, drinking coffee, competing, receiving awards, helping an NGO, laughing and most importantly not stop talking about wool and knitting! So this year I have been part of this little adventure and the stores that I visited were:
Stich Up - SW19 8AA - Wimbledon Park Station
Preciosa tienda donde nos recibieron con un buen café y galletas para empezar con fuerza el día. / Lovely shop where we were greeted with good coffee and biscuits to start the hard day.
Sharp Works - SE240JT - Herne Hill Station
Tienda justo al salir de la estación con preciosas lanas y botones!! preciosos botones! / Shop just off the station with beautiful wool and buttons !! beautiful buttons!
Loop - N1 8EA - Angel Station
La super conocida tienda de lanas donde te dejas el sueldo del mes pero merece la pena! además esta ubicada en un pasaje donde hay cantidad de tiendas vintage y anticuarios. / Super known yarn store where you leave your paycheck but worth it! well located in a area full of vintage and antique shops.
Wild & Woolly - E5 0QR - Hackney Central Station
Para rematar, hemos estado en esta tienda donde tambien nos han recibido con café y galletas! Precioso escaparate y lanas de todas partes … alpaca, merino, etc. / To top it off, we have been in this store where they have also welcomed us with coffee and cookies! Beautiful window display and wool from everywhere ... alpaca, merino, etc.
Para terminar la jornada nos hemos reunido en The Parcel Yard en King Cross para compartir la experiencia con otros grupos de amantes de la lana y tejedoras. Donde hemos recibido premios y hemos conseguido recaudar dinero para Refuge. Gracias a mi equipo Romney y a nuestras guías Andrea y Kelly por un maravilloso dia. Nos vemos el próximo año! /
