I was in London Last week, Liberty's not a patch on it's former self but lots of cottons, John Lewis the same, but walk down Berwick street,on the edge of Soho,two great shops for silks and 3 or 4 other fabric shops,and loads of wholesale ribbon/ sequin type shops.The area is perfectly safe by day, but full of strip clubs in that part at night. |

"Kenneth" skrev i melding ups.com ... We too are in London 13 september-18th. we are staying on Kinnerton Street in belgravia! Last time I went to London (January), I searched for yarn stores. I went to Liberty's and John Lewis,because I most time was in the center, but was not VERY impressed... At home I had found this link, but I think I have seen it here lately? http://www.loop.gb.com/shop.html This is in the North, and I never got there, but it looks interesting. They sell online too. I mailed Collinette to get addresses, and here is the answer (Jan. 2006): COLLINETTE: Our largest suppliers in London are Mimi Hollander The Good Yarn Store 35a Belsize Park Gardens London NW3 4JJ Telephone: 0207 586 5527 Maria Riachy Domaqaya 20 The Boltons London SW10 9SU (Loop 41 Cross Street London N1 2BB) I also found Rowan Yarns in London, and I take these shops have other yarns too: https://www.knitrowan.com/html/stock...ited%20Kingdom May be you are near one of these? Aud ;-) |

Liberty also has quite a bit of wool - my Mum has bought stuff for at least two sweaters there. Hanne in London |

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 ... |
