Cozy, friendly, wooly
We stopped the store during a visit to Oxford. I was delighted to find some of my favorite yarns in a cozy store with a very friendly and helpful staff. I bought some Sandes Garn Peer Gynt in a fabulous poppy color - very happy with the yarn and the store.

Isager Spinni is a great yarn which I’ve used before. Lovely held with another lace weight yarn such as silk mohair.
