Wow, not my experience at all, at all. Try John Lewis for fabric and
there are various little wool shops dotted around. One very good one
in Crystal Palace. . . .can't remember the name of it.


If you find a wool shop that can afford the rent in Belgravia please let
me know .There is no such thing I'm sad to say ... Take the train to Elstree
( the Hollywood of UK ) and by the Church on the mainstreet you will indeed
find a very good woolshop that sells anything from Rowan and Jaeger yarn to
acrylic cheap cheap stuff . Anything for embroidery and cardmaking
...beading ..lace ...ribbons by the mile
Just like an oldfashioned haberdashery shop ...
