Whilst I’ve had the travel bug for quite a long time, I’ve only started knitting over the past few years, so there has only been limited opportunity for combining the two. However, these days when I do travel to somewhere new, I factor in a bit of pre-departure planning, scoping out the local yarn stores and the like, and make a hit-list of knitterly destinations before I set off. Any additional sight-seeing on the trip of course then needs to fit in around my knitting adventures.
In testament to my travels so far, and as an encouragement to continue, I’ve put together a list of my tried and tested knitterly shopping favourites over on this page. I’ve listed only places that I’ve personally been to, so you can be assured that they’re all recommended by a true yarnie. I’ll keep the page updated as my travels continue.

Wow – I’d travel to Barcelona for this yarn shop alone, let alone all the Gaudi, etc. 🙂 GREAT sign…
