This has to be the coolest name that I have ever come across for a yarn store.  It was in the old town of Barcelona and I nearly missed it.  We were walking through these narrow winding alleyways and I was looking for interesting shots of gargoyles, when my husband said, “look a yarn store named after a Beetles’ song.”<\/p>\n

I was in awe.  Needless to say I pulled out my camera and snapped a few quick ones.  Although the shop’s name is in English, the owner’s website, more blog than product listing, is either in Catalan or Spanish.<\/p>\n

Catalan is the minority language spoken in the area – just to complicate things.  I thought that I was just going to have to struggle with Spanish – Castillion – Oh no – holidays always throw in a curve ball – this one was called Catalan – fortunately many spoke English – or Spanglish or Catalanguish. We had fun.<\/p>\n

\nHere is the uncropped version of the sign outside of the store.  Sorry, I didn’t go in.  When I travel with family, I really spend all my time with them.  A quick glance told me that the store was a little sparse – but may have had some nice handspun yarns.<\/p>\n

I loved the name so much, that I have created some fridge magnets along with this picture and a Happy New Year greeting. This a large square in downtown Barcelona, at night.  It was brilliant.<\/p>\n
