Vlog: Yarn Shopping Inspired by Books

Ойын-сауық

Shopping for Shetland yarn at Loop, a knitting shop in Islington, after reading and enjoying several books about knitting. A little Christmas shopping thrown in too! Books mentioned are linked below (click show more). Please note: whenever possible, I link books to the Blackwell's website, as I believe in supporting independent and small chain bookshops.

    Oh how lovely that you came to Islington. Albeit a few years back. Have you come back since? Loop is a lovely yarn shop and I grew up just a five minute walk from there. As I look after dad a few days a week (in my childhood home)I will often have a walk up to Camden passage in the Angel as I have been since I was little. We have quite a few book shops around here too. Please do come back to visit. Love your channel 💗

    I really enjoyed this video, and your book recs. I am actually re-reading KNITTING YARNS because it is one of my happy places & since I am reading such hard-hitting books, it's stories help me get in a better mood. I'll listen to your podcast and the interview, because I'm really interested in THE GOLDEN FLEECE. I'm going through all of your videos, & am falling in love with everything you are recommending. I feel like you represent perfectly my tastes. Thank you so much for your videos. ;)

    OMG I went to this shop a couple of years ago and just loved it. I do not knit, I crochet. 🧶This vid made me want to be in London. I really like your videos.

    Hi Miranda. I like to crochet, so the yarn shop was lovely! I would have spent a fortune! Can't wait to see what you make, so please share your progress. Lovely video!!!

    Loved this! I’ve also read Esther’s book and enjoyed it tremendously. And Purls of Wisdom is a treasured book too. I also love Laine and am delighted that it’s starting up again! I also love how so many of my favourite writers from the mid-20th century mention knitting frequently; Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Pym, Angela Thirkell etc...
