Paris yarn shops, French Yarn and Franklin Habit

Mais OUI,,, J'AIME Paris! Who doesn't? Or wouldn't! Come along while I traipse along the SEINE and stumble into a whole 'nother' World of Yarns, a la Francaise. Les Tricoteurs Volants...charming fellas and a personally curated SHOP with all Enrico's favourites! AND then there's the lovely demoiselles at Lil Weasel...Carine giving me a one on one Tour du Jour in a shop that showcases French yarns along with many other select European yarns. A second space houses a well stocked all INDIE Dye yarns. Then there's PARIS...Oh la la...the ICONIC City of Lights...and there I AM! Here & there and everywhere. So many "patisseries" and corner cafes...AND more incredibly, the French charm, kindness and friendliness toward this French Canadian from their long lost little colony...CANADA!

[@meryle.hawkins880]

I have just found your channel and just subscribed. I love the pair of you and look forward to watching more. I live in New Zealand and we have great wool here especially our nz merino but the yarn from other countries always seems to be gorgeous. Thank you for the entertainment, I am going to enjoy watching you both

[@sandrachilds7229]

Thank you for this Paris wool adventure. Never would happen in my world so it was a dream to watch through the adventure's of Jamie.

Thank you for a wonderful show. 💛

[@cabinboyknits1816]

[@sunnyw4148]

Thanks for the Paris wool focus. And not one food treat on camera. The only disappointment.Franklin is my hero: moving to Paris to for fill a life long dream and being such a great teacher.

[@cabinboyknits1816]

I can't believe there was pic of Jamie eating something. Thank you for watching.

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Yes, thank you

[@alwieozzie]

Mercy Jamie. This was a very special, surprise episode. I love to travel with you all to Paris. How nice that you celebrate a special day day with a good friend, and that you managed to share the city and the atmosphere with us. As we live in the Netherlands we have been there a couple of times. It was so nice to be there again. My special place is waching the city go by, from behind the big glass clock in the museum. Give our love to your friend, for the special day, ,and thanks for sharing 🥂💐

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@laurieboucher4947]

Wonderful episode! I loved the yarn shops and your kitchy apron lol. I have the exact same tea towel design. Surprised you didn't pick up the obligatory bottle of herbes de Provence for cooking. Thanks for sharing your adventure Jamie

[@kimbetts4282]

L0oved, loved, loved this episode. I have only been to Paris once and fell in love with the city. I could live there with no regrets of moving from Australia! Thanks for sharing guys xxx

[@carolbulmer8253]

Too cool! I love this episode!

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Carol, I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@kathywoods5357]

That was wonderful!

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Thank you Kathy

[@summerking8659]

Living in Ireland I have been to France a lot, but it was wonderful to see Paris through your eyes Jamie. Loved seeing all the sights and hearing all the interesting historic pieces of information - what a great episode this was. Also, how fantastic that a guy opened his own yarn shop - have never come across that before - will definitely have to visit Enrico on my next trip. Thank you so much for chatting with him, and not forgetting Lil Weasel either of course. 😃

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Summer, I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@lisanicholas2815]

Such an interesting video! Those yarn shops look luscious! I regret not learning French!

[@scarianneable]

So happy to see you guys back! I'd like to know more about what you ate, and where you ate, Jamie! It's interesting to see yarn that I sell in these shops in Paris! And to see how other shops display their yarn - giving me ideas ;) I am far behind on my Flax KAL so I better get going on it before the 8th - Westknits MKAL will be overtaking my life then. I also enjoyed hearing about Franklin's move... I've always dreamed of moving to Scotland, I hope that one day this will still happen.... Thanks again for a very enjoyable episode - can't wait to see the next one!

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Carianne, thank you for watching.

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Carieanne, Jamie basically stopped at all of the patisseries.

[@beckydraper9913]

Another great episode. What an adventure Jamie, the other guy.

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Thanks Becky

[@toomiepal]

Fantastic episode. Wonderful to hear about your trip to France! Best wishes for October too!

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Thank you! You too!

[@cheryladams5785]

I enjoyed your trip to Paris! So much so that I told my husband that I just might consent to returning to Paris if I can visit the yarn shops you visited! I’m so glad I found your podcasts!

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Cheryl, we are glad you found our channel as well. I hope you get to Paris again.

[@StormsEnd1604]

Oh Paris…sigh… museé D’Orsay is my favourite, both for the art and the architecture. And thanks for the yarn shop recommendations. We always stay in La Marais, and have taken the metro to La Bien Aimeé. So nice to know that there are two beautiful shops nearby. And that passageway. Wow!!! Can’t wait to feel comfortable travelling again! And your doggo is gorgeous!!!

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Alison, the Musee D'Orsay is one of my favourites as well.

[@gallovidian2151]

Fabulous episode!!! Ally my favourite things in there - wool and knitting, Paris, Franklin, Dorset buttons and Cabinboyknits. Loved every minute. Thankyou :) :) x

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Sarah, I am glad you enjoyed it. There will be more Dorset buttons in the next episode.

[@gallovidian2151]

@@cabinboyknits1816 I know I'm looking forward to that :) I lived in Dorset for 27 years and have made quite a few buttons over the years; I have some waiting now to be made - hopefully you'll inspire me to get my arse into gear! Lol

[@conniemackay3096]

Great podcast. Nice yarn shops in Paris. Would be interesting what the prices are for yarn compared to Canada and US.

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Connie, I agree with you. Jamie didn't buy any yarn so I didn't get a sense of the price difference. I guess we will have to make it over there to check out the prices for ourselves.

[@andreabritz4572]

There just is something about Paris, isn't there? I must have visited all les passages. When I last visitedI sadly hadn't started to knit again. I just moved from the US back to Germany and Paris is close enough fora weekend trip. I find that very exciting.

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Andrea, you will definitely have to make a weekend trip.

[@ginalevesque6596]

Bravo Jamie 👏 super belle Danse des Canards 🦆!Wow Ce fut un séjour des plus intéressant et merci beaucoup de l’avoir partagé en vidéo avec nous si généreusement ! Je vais me retenir de poser des questions pour les détails 🤭.... qui n’ont pas de lien avec le monde du tricot 🧶! 🤫🙏🥰🌈

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Ha ha ha...merci GINA! Quand je tricotais au bord de la Seine, devant la cathédrale Notre Dame...le monsieur jouait la chanson "de la danse des canards". Plusieurs années passées, je'etais serveur a un restaurant Allemagne. Chaque dimanche, nous avions des musiciens pour la journée familiale et ils jouaient cette chanson. Tous dans le restaurant, y inclus les serveurs/serveuses, dansaient la DANSE! Une bonne memoire. Alors quand j'ai entendu la chanson, j'ai demandez au monsieur de jouer la chanson encore une fois pour moi et j'ai dansez au bord de la Seine. Merci bien...on apprécie beaucoup les commentaires! :) Et les questions? Quand meme...c'est correcte si il y a pas de lien au tricot! 😜

[@lizcooney4215]

No matter where we go, home really is special…isn’t it? Nice to go somewhere, but always nice to come back. - Thanks for the mini-holiday! ~

[@cabinboyknits1816]

It really is!

[@brendapyefinch9015]

Love the apron! Wish I had a she shed. Haha

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Brenda, thanks for watching.

[@sophiedeschamps4389]

Nice bag Jamie🤣🤣🤣

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Thanks

[@susandorrington7623]

Wonderful episode, thank you! I am not 100% sure, but I think the statue at 21:19 may be showing a woman with a distaff in her upper hand (holding her fibre supply) and a spindle in her lower hand. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa where Spring has arrived!

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Susan, thank you for the information. Happy Spring in Cape Town

[@uldall19]

Thank you for Paris, Jamie👍I am wondering, I heard you say that you not buy any yarn!! 😳 love from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Jytte, I can't believe it either.

[@vita8968]

does franklin have his dog with him in Paris?

[@nathanl2408]

I found what you said about French very interesting. I had a French classmate once who claimed that Canadians would talk down to her because she was from France 🤣🤣 Looks like I need to go to France on a yarn tour 😁

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Nathan, it definitely looks like you need to go to France on a yarn tour.

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Nice to go visit Paris with you. Talking abour Fonty yarn, are you aware we have here in Canada, PEI, a place that does exactly the same, farm, sheep, mini mill, dye and store : Fleece & Harmony. Check them out, they are great !!!

[@cabinboyknits1816]

Nicole, I love Fleece and Harmony. Thank you for mentioning them.
