The Sheep in the Looking-Glass. Mostly about knitting, with a bit about knitting in history. Yarn from Florence or Italian Sunshine for the Winter. April 18, 2013. On holiday in Florence last summer I left the well trodden tourist streets to visit the yarn store Campolmi Roberto Filati.

I said I would show and tell from my visit to Die Woll-Lust. On my trip to Berlin. One of the things I particularly liked about the shop was the way the colours were arranged. Everywhere I looked there were enticing juxtapositions of colours. I was drawn to these gorgeous hanks of Filace Seta Cash. In shades of mauves and greys. This yarn, Filace Setmo. ItR...

The Sheep in the Looking-Glass. Mostly about knitting, with a bit about knitting in history. Knitting in History – Victorian Baby’s Sock 5. May 13, 2013. Well, it’s finished.
