Which reminds me - I have yet to show you the acquisitions from my trip to Amsterdam. I bought a lot. 'Nuff said. I bought from two shops, Penelope Craft and Weldraad. My step mother-in-law had emailed me about Weldraad when it first opened, so we visited. The place is amazing - the website says that in the store you will find a collection of yarns, fabrics and buttons which are produced as eco-friendly as possible (it's in Dutch). The man working when we went in knew his stuff. Really knew his stuff - he told us all about the fabrics they sell, all the fibres and yarns. It is a must visit for anyone visiting Amsterdam! Penelope Craft was delightful as usual - very helpful and let me browse in peace! Another must visit, and they also sell yarns that you can't get in the UK (or can't get without going to London).
