Here is another pair of visits to the woolly community that we made last year (2008). Please excuse the gaping spaces in the blog text - the Google-Gremlins are attacking my HTML, possibly because I'm trying to do by hand what the Google-team want to do for you.
Firstly, with where some of the wool comes from.
Almost a year ago we went out to a small town called Tabernacle, near Mt. Holly in NJ, and visited a couple who were running an Alpaca farm. They're not the only ones here in the area with unusual animals, but I thought I'd feature them here. |  |

Next, here's some pictures of a really good shop. They have a large selection of yarns and a huge selection of buttons. They're in the Germantown part of Philadelphia, right on a bus route for convenience. As you can see, there's a plaque stating just how historic the building is.
To the right, the shop's shingle makes it clear what's inside: below you see the tag on the building - it's been here for quite a while ! |  |

Just a few buttons in stock, for any cardigan you could dream of !  | Yarn falling from the ceiling - there's really a lot of wool here.  |

There'll be more pictures up in just a few days, but first I have to do some programming !
