The wool shop I referred to in my last blog was a big let down!  You can see here what greeted me....the owner said that people just weren't spending money these days, and they just couldn't afford to keep going.  It's so sad that our local shops, with personal contact, are disappearing.  I know wool can be bought on line, but in my opinion nothing is as good as being able to see and feel the yarns, and generally imbibe the atmosphere of a creative space.
