I've always bought most of my yarn online, where although you can get every colour and every combination, you can't feel it or smoosh it and that is so helpful when it comes to deciding what the finished thing is going to be like. Fluph is in Dundee and opened in December. It's like a home from home and you can prattle on
about yarn and crafty plans and pass away an hour squishing beautiful
wools in the person without feeling like you need to get out the shop quickly. Which is kind of what the traditional slightly-older-demographic wool shops can feel like to me. Plus they do Drops yarn, yay! My favourite right now! I'm mega excited about helping Fluph out with their Ravelry group. I know it's a bit gushy but I love the shop. I'll stop now...
Here's what I got on my latest visit, all Drops, I'm so predictable.
The turquoise-Bluey-Purple is to be a shawl or a scarf, maybe the Hitchin a Ride, the crochet version of Hitchiker. Or maybe by the time I'm finished what I'm working on I'll have changed my mind. The Rainbow Delight... OMG now I want to have some of that awful Angel Delight pudding you got at school dinners in the 80's, so full of nothing but pink... anyway, the rainbow yarn I think I would like to be a pair of socks, but crochet socks, I've never seen a pair let alone made them. Finally the I <3 You 3, maybe a hat and gloves, maybe stripey. I'm so prone to changing my mind cause of browsing Ravelry pattern library for hours on my phone, who needs Rock and Roll when you have Ravelry's pattern search. xxx
