Wensleydale Yarn
Originally uploaded by surfdonna
While in London I had to visit I Knit London. It wasn't quite what I expected. They "pub" part of the store is a cold case with bottles of beer. I guess I expected beer on tap and more of a pub feel. It was nice enough. I would hang out there if i lived in London. What they did have is a great selection of local English wool. I bought 2 skeins of Wensleydale (Like the cheese) Longwool. It's really pretty and a lot softer than some of the other British wools they had. There is a lot of yardage in 1 skein, 257 yards. On ravelry the only people working with it are in England, so I don't think it's available in the US. If I still like once I've worked with it I may have my mother-in-law pick up some more.
