Independent yarn shop in Islington, situated on Cross Street between Essex Road and Upper Street.
Mostly focuses on the more interesting kinds of yarn; they have various Noro, Colinette, Rowan, etc, and also things like Mango Moon recycled silk yarn.
They have a small wooden deck outside, with a couple of chairs, presumably for sitting on and knitting. There's also a sturdy railing to lock your bike to. Knitting and crochet classes are held in the basement; see website for details.
Accessibility: Step-free access to the main shop, but not to the classes in the basement.
