As always on my travels, I keep my eyes out for yarns stores. Normally, if I’m traveling to the US (or even Europe or Canada), I can look up on the internet the location of Local Yarn Stores, or at least whatever form they take in different countries. For India, I really didn’t have the capabilities to look up local yarn stores, both because of the language difference, but also because directions can be rather uncertain in India, with none of the streets being labeled in any way that I noticed.
Still, I lucked out one particular time in Shimla, when we were wandering one of the Bazars. I came across a yarn store. Well, actually Michael saw the yarn store and pointed it out to me.
