Yarn Shopping in Syros


As all fellow knitters know...
no matter where we travel
we can never pass by a yarn shop.



 
Walking down the streets of Syros, one of the many
beautiful islands in Greece,
I stumbled upon a yarn shop!
 
My heart fluttered and hands began to sweat.
I called to my husband and traveling companions
and told them to go ahead. 
This could take a while.





The shop owner spoke not a word of English
and my Greek was limited to
good day and thank you.
 
Wanting a yarn made in Greece was my priority.
After much trial and error and laughing
(the shop owner had a good sense of humor)
she got my message and found some lovely cotton yarn
Made In Greece!


 
 
I'm not sure what I will make with this
soft as silk cotton yarn
in variegated shades of blues, greens, and pinks.
All ideas are welcome!
 
 
Until Next Time ~

  3. How about nice airy scarf, or a airy cowl. Maybe a basket. A purse?
