Best bonus video EVER! I'm so sad I made my pilgrimage to London BEFORE you made this video. Now I have to go back! Love the creepy music. I will definitely check that cemetery out next time!

[@majonkie]

Thank you! I’ll be sure to watch this video again and take notes before going to London next year.

My goth self got so excited about the cemetery. Its so beautiful and old. If I ever go to the UK I'll have to go on a cemetery crawl (im sure there's a zombie joke in there somewhere)

[@momsyw]

That was great fun! Wish I'd been a knitter when I last visited London...maybe there will be a next time:-)

[@trishcda3029]

Thank you for the tour! So much fun to see where you live and places you have to go to. It looks like you two had a good time!

[@KehrinB]

Thank you so much for the tour!

[@sawcat6]

Thank you! I saved a bunch of the locations to Google Maps, so that whenever I can afford to go over, they are easy to see.

[@Mindfulnessification]

Thank you for the tour! It was a lot of fun! ❤️🐑❤️

[@JenFarrer]

How fun! I loved seeing the little farm animals too❣️

[@gailbinot3343]

Love to see more sightseeing / yarn videos. Love the cemetery!

[@annikengulbrandsen630]

Thank you Eli for a lovely crawl, very helpful . Planning* to do my very own maybe in November during Yarnporium. Found Abney Cemetery by accident while visiting Knit with Attitude two years ago and it’s absolutely magical !!

[@wandagillespie5218]

Thank you Eli for that great guide to London. I have only ever been to Loop but I think I will venture further afield next time. In fact I think it is time I visited my son in London. Love what you are doing for the knitting community 👏

[@margaretsamplerlover]

Thanks! I needed a good tour of London yarn shops!

[@drea3556]

[@teddyoggin]

Loved this video!

[@karenjenkins4969]

Loved the tour especially the cemetery - love visiting old cemeteries - the history! And because I am a genealogist I would have a ball in there! London is soooo far from NZ.....one day I will get to visit all these wonderful places, thanks for the tour :)

[@cobbe.l]

Thanks for this podcast. My yarn shop list is made for my next visit to London.

[@Knittingilove]

That was fun I would love to do a tour like that one day :) thank you for sharing

[@jenkelly6279]

Thank you Elli! I live in Michigan and it is my dream to get to London some day! I LOVED this episode!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you for the video! I am coming to London in June and July and wanting to visit loop.

[@joanneyoung5410]

Brilliant Eli. Im Over next month and have never been to Wild and Woolly or knit with attitude so I'll definitely check them out I love cinnamon buns so may need pick some of those up too.

[@jenniferverstraten3024]

Thank you ! I hope to visit London one day and do a yarncrawl

[@springersedawn]

Thanks! This is great information.

[@doublecatspresso8935]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I got my Masters degree from LSE and miss London so much! Sadly, I wasn‘t a knitter when I lived in London, but I‘ve visited a couple of times since and been to a few yarn and fabric stores... Marlies from Austria :)

[@LibellulaGlass]

Thanks. I am now very homesick!

[@sherrysemeniuk5042]

Thank you for sharing!

[@storybookfibers]

really enjoyed your tour. how it started with the sheep . . . where the yarn comes from . . . the old cemetery. so peaceful and interesting. was kind of wondering what some of the dates were . . . . 1700's?

[@miriyummy]

Eli, thanks so much for the virtual yarn crawl! I'm going to be in London this August and can budget in one or two visits to a yarn shop. I've already been to Loop and this time want to buy some authentic British wool. Last time I was at Loop I bought some amazing St Magnus D.K. by Orkney Angora. So my question is, if I can only visit one shop, which should it be? I'm thinking Wild & Woolly, or perhaps Knit with Attitude, especially since I wear various versions of Maya's I Got Hair Baby! all the time. Any suggestions?

[@SkeindeerKnits]

That totally depends on what you are going for. Loop if you want the special imports and high-end stuff and an awesome knitting library, Wild and Woolly if you want the locally dyed and small-mill produced stuff, the woolly wool and ...basically the stuff I am into(!) and KWA if you want a mix of that plus art stuff from 'of cabbages and kings' which they share location with.

[@miriyummy]

Thanks! I had a feeling it was going to be Wild and Woolly! I've been checking out their website and that Frangipani Guernsey 5 Ply is calling my name. Have you ever tried it?

[@ritanoetzel7306]

Very appropriate creepy music 🙂

[@Gertieanne]

Spin away. It will not hurt your wool.

[@Amethyst1919]

Sad that no one is maintaining that graveyard...
