    My Mini Yarn Crawl

    …..London, England 9 787 426 people….. …..Trondheim, Norway 181 513 people….

    If you have followed my woolly adventures for a while you know that moving into new premises last year was a mile stone which meant (and still does mean) a lot to me! Imagine that, new bright and large premises on the high street! You also know that when we were finished building the shop…
