Yarn shopping in London!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- In April, I went to London and visited two beautiful yarn shops, Beautiful Knitters and Loop Knitting.
In this video, I show you these two amazing yarn shops and also reveal all of the knitting goodies I purchased in each shop.
My main reason for deciding to go yarn shopping in London was because I wanted to try out the Knitting for Olive yarn that Beautiful Knitters stock. I also love visiting Loop Knitting too because they have such a wonderful selection of knitting, crochet and embroidery supplies that you don't find in the average haberdashery shop!
I also briefly discuss in this video about my latest adventure into the world of starting my own Small Holding and how I plan to spin the fleeces from my flock of sheep into hand knitting yarn.
If you'd like regular updates on what I'm currently working on, you can follow me on Instagram: @knittingagogo
I am also on Ravelry:

Thanks for watching!
Hello, I'm new to your channel and a relatively new UA-camr.
Like you I have recently knitted with yarn from Knitting for Olive for the first time. I have knit the Late Summer Wrap, using the merino and silk mohair. When you have done the swatch for your merino and mohair, you might be interested to know that Knitting for Olive do free worldwide shipping on your first order. It is so much cheaper, even when you have paid the tax to purchase direct from them.
I really like all of your purchases, I need a trip to London to do a yarn pilgrimage soon!
How cute to have your own flock of sheep! I think that will be a really lovely thing to document on your channel
Thank you for the information that’s really good to know 😃 I didn’t even think to look at purchasing on their online shop as didn’t realise about their postage offer. I’m going to be uploading a new video this week about the Knitting for Olive Puff Tee I recently knitted and what I thought of it and how it looks knitted etc 🤗
Hello Natalie, I have subscribed to your channel. I really enjoyed you shopping I loved your bag.
Myself I knit and crohet but I use the old fashion knitting needles.love Joan from Nottingham xx
@@JoanWard-k2h thank you for taking the time to watch my video Joan, I’m pleased you enjoyed it 🤗 I’ll be uploading another yarn shopping adventure soon in Jersey 🤩 xx
I very much enjoyed this podcast. Loved the trips to the yarn shops and seeing your purchases. That sparkle thread is fabulous - I remember a very long time ago (probably about 1974!) making a little sparkly gold top with something similar. I'm looking forward to watching when you are knitting the Knitting for Olive tops and also anything about your smallholding.
@@karenwhite2601 thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for your kind comments 🤗 I love knitting with Sparkly yarns. I’ve recently been thinking about what I’m going to knit with this silver one 😀 I’ll be uploading a video soon about my small holding and I have another video where I talk about making the Knitting for Olive Puff Tee 🧶
Hello from coastal North Carolina! Thanks for sharing your shopping trip. I love KFO yarn, so soft! Can’t wait to see the knitting progress :)
@@aggierowe9574 thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for your lovely comments 🤗 I have another video where I document knitting the KFO puff sleeve top 😃
You could always check out the yarn shops at your destination
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for your comment 🤗 Yes I do visit them too. I bought some yarn in English Yarns in Shoreham last week and some yarn in YAK in June as I made a vintage beret for a friend’s birthday. I plan to visit Ida’s House in Lewes soon which is quite a new shop that I’ve not yet visited. Would you like to see some videos of me visiting these yarn shops?
You encouraged me to order a tote bag that I have wanted for a while. Good luck with the sheep I shall be really interested in watching your progress. Thanks for talking about budgets too - not many podcasters do :)
@@craftynia1077 thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for your kind comments 🤗 I have set up an Instagram page called @smallflockyarnsuk as I recently found out that I can have their fleeces spun into hand knitting wool which is very exciting 😃 I am keeping regular updates on there on my little flock. I’ll also be doing a little video on UA-cam about my small holding soon 🐑🐑🐑
Love your channel (and the sweater you are wearing in this episode!)! I really appreciate that you talk about yarn budgets and I also love hearing about your sheep!

I hope that helps 😃
Great video, thanks to you i have been able to find 2 shops that stock nice sock wool that i dont have to wait weeks for delivery :)
@@scrappaddy thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for your kind comments 🤗 I’m pleased it helped you in sourcing your knitting wool for your project 😃
Glad you had fun in my city, buying yarns. I am a crocheter but I buy online cos there are no shops near me. Pimlico is a bit of distance for me, maybe one day.

Thanks Carrie 🤗 I look forward to sharing more videos soon! xx
I don’t knit, but have recently (last five years) been indulging my love of textiles by taking up headwrapping, selecting and purchasing scarves. Those colors you selected are lovely! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience here. I learn so much from listening to, and not just watching, talented women artists like yourself. ❤from this GenX Adult Human Female in northern California!
