| Despite an upsurge in popularity, it can still be tricky to find a craft shop that takes knitters past bootie patterns. By contrast, Marta’s Yarns specialises in some seriously cool threads. Spanning merino to mohair, silk to alpaca, stock also includes books, kits and felting supplies. Even the uninitiated can appreciate the incredible vibrancy of the hand-dyed selection, as well as the variety of textures. Certainly Marta’s signature yarn, the dreadlock-like Slubby, has developed its own cult following and is ideal for needlefree knitting. Don’t believe it? Then pay a visit and learn how to make a scarf in less than a lunch hour.
