Yesterday I visited Oxford Yarn
Store for the first time. It is a lovely
shop stuffed full of yarns of every colour and thickness. I had come across an
advert for the store in one of the knitting magazines and I have been meaning
to make the effort to travel to Oxford.
If you are visiting Oxford and love yarn – it is well work a walk along
the Banbury Road to the store.
I had seen pictures of the
outside of the store (there is one in the latest edition of Simply Knitting
magazine), but I wanted to show you the inside.
The photo above shows what it looks like. The owner, Karen, was apologising because she
thought it looks untidy – but I thought it looked wonderful. You can buy Rowan, Colinette, Artesano and
Noro as well as lots of brands of yarn that I had not heard of.
What I have so far avoided
mentioning is how much yarn I bought! It
was a good thing I took my birthday money with me. I actually bought enough for two projects
which you will hear more about in the coming weeks when I start working on
them.
If you are interested in visiting
Oxford Yarn Store it is located at 3 North Parade Avenue, Oxford, OX2 6LX or
you can have a look at the website: www.oxfordyarnstore.co.uk
