|ABOUT|
I live and knit in Southern Ontario with my husband and my terrier. The name kuriaknits comes from my last name - Kurian. Kurian has Indian and Syrian origins and I feel lucky every day that my husband shared it with me.

Sounds like you had an amazing trip. Lovely yarn. I really like the green and the black brown.

[@AnItalianKnitter]

It was so lovely to take this yarn trip “with you” ❤️ Thank you for sharing about the stores you went to. Last time I was in London (more than 10 years ago!) I wasn’t yet a knitter so I didn’t even look for yarn shops 😅 Would love to film a vlog or a sit down video like yours next time I’m hunting for yarn. Have a lovely rest of your day

[@kuriaknits]

I would love to see that! I'll look out for it :)

I loved hearing about your trip and the different yarn stores you went to. I’ve never been to London, but will definitely check them out if I ever get there. That was really interesting about Loop Yarns’ hand dyed yarn that we can get here being a better deal here. I guess it’s a good niche for them for people that want to get some of the North American yarn when they are there. Just like we get excited when we can find some of the European yarns here. I’m from British Columbia and was recently in Toronto and went to the Knitting Loft. I was in HEAVEN! So many gorgeous European yarns that I don’t see much of where I am. Xoxo

I agree knitting loft is lovely! I went to your two knitting stores when I was in Vancouver last summer. I really liked them too. Nice to have someone that stocks Drops nearby.

How I would love to go to London in spring!! BTW, the Krea and West Yorkshire Spinners yarns are both stocked at The Knitting Loft in case you'd like to restock at some point. I think that, even with shipping, it'll be comparable to what you paid in the UK. Things in London are seriously expensive. Sigh.

[@kuriaknits]

Ohh that's great to know, thanks!! And yes they are!!

I just got home (I live in Minnesota) from a trip to Arizona. On the trip I went to two yarn shops. Sedona Knit Wits in Sedona and Purl In The Pines in Flagstaff. Both were very nice stores and I would recommend both. I got a ton of yarn at both stores and really enjoyed myself.

[@kuriaknits]

I'm glad you had a good time! I've heard both minnesota and arizona are lovely.

[@dianekawagoe2330]

Thanks for your video about London yarn shops! I’m heading to London soon-ish so this is really timely for my yarn quest! 🧶🧶🧶

[@kuriaknits]

Have an amazing trip!

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Thanks for sharing your London trip. Sounds like you did a lot on a short time! I just came back from Mexico. I cast on a Ranunculus on the way down and did some knitting around the pool. I was in London in 2016, but didn't do the yarn shops. Definitely something for next time!

[@kuriaknits]

Definitely worth checking out! I hope you had a lovely time in Mexico.

[@SweetPeaChickadeePodcast]

Omg - this was so great! We are visiting the U.K. This summer for the first time - so I took lots of notes! What happened on your harrowing trip back???

[@kuriaknits]

Have an amazing time! Lots of travel delays. Flight was delayed by an hour, luggage delayed by 1.5 hours, I was selected for COVID testing, and then our bus to the lot was delayed too. It was a long day!

[@CasualKnitter]

Cool video about the trip, but I'm curious how does it feel to knit on rounded tips needles?

[@kuriaknits]

The pryms? It’s honestly never bothered me because of the taper. I’m actually knitting a project with them right now. If they made a metal set like that I think they’d be my favourite needles

[@CasualKnitter]

@@kuriaknits interesting! I would jave never guessed that this kind of needles are easy to use, i chose the most sharp ones

[@historical_lisa315]

Hello! This is my fourth-ish video of yours…I had no idea you are an historian (as am I). What is your area of research? Or your passion in British/English history?

[@kuriaknits]

I am studying medieval urban environments specifically in Kent and East Sussex! What do you study?
