Socktopus was a small knitting shop in [[Locale Fulham|Fulham]] specialising in sock yarn. It [http://www.socktopus.co.uk/2009/09/yall-ready-for-this/ closed] in September 2009, and Socktopus moved to join forces with [[Stash Yarns, Putney|Stash Yarns]] in [[Locale Putney|Putney]]. However, this collaboration only lasted a month or so, and Socktopus is now [http://www.socktopus.co.uk/ online only]. The information below is retained for people who want to know what the Fulham shop used to be like. <div class="old_info"> Small knitting shop in [[Locale Fulham|Fulham]], specialising in sock yarn. Note that despite the address, the entrance (pictured) is on Tetcott Road. You can also get to it through the main entrance of Worlds End Studios <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3589660286/ photo]</small> round the other side on Lots Road. Although the shop is situated a good ten minutes' walk from [[Fulham Broadway Station|Fulham Broadway Tube station]], there are comprehensive directions on the website (recommended if you are unfamiliar with the area). The shop is closed on some Saturdays - the website is frequently updated with details. [[Kat]] and friends visited in March 2009 and were delighted to find a wide range of unusual sock yarns in various materials (including camel and bison hair!). All the yarn we looked at was handspun and hand-dyed. There were also some interesting accessories (extra-small needles, specialist detergent, highlighter tape) and a small selection of books. We took up the offer of a cup of tea and the opportunity to wind our recently-purchased skeins into balls - there is seating both indoors and outdoors; bringing along your own knitting is encouraged. The shop runs a number of courses and off-site meet-ups, details are given on the website. <div class="last_verified">Last visited by [[Kat]], [[Sarah]] and Jo, 15 March 2009.</div> </div>
