I’m in Spain, Madrid and Alicante. Coming home soon. But I wanted to share this:
I happened upon El Gato Negro near Plaza Mayor in Madrid.
It’s a cute shop, and they had some fun speckle and space dyed yarn, too.
It matched my flower power jacket. I had to buy some! It’s cotton, sport weight, 2 100g skeins. I wonder if I can get the pink to pool a bit. It’s a pretty short color pop. We shall see, later.
I’m coming home soon. Rose City Yarn Crawl starts Thursday, and I’ll be at For Yarn’s Sake on Thursday with a trunk show! See my latest designs, and get my book, Brioche Knit Love, if you haven’t already.
Also, I’m teaching Brioche Pastiche, beginning brioche, on Sunday April 26 at For Yarn’s Sake. Come learn brioche in person with me, me, me!

WTF ??? – in SPAIN ? I like the way you just casually drop that rivetting fact as if it’s all in a day’s work !! 😀
Stringer and I stayed in Madrid. Loved it. The Carlos V hotel. What do you think of the slightly ‘sour’ taste of the milk ?
You are the busiest professional of them all. Be safe and happy in your travels …
Wow! I can’t believe it! I’ve seen that shop in Madrid! It was years ago and in those days, the yarn shops had all the yarn wrapped in plastic bags, so it wasn’t as enticing as it looks now! What a fun memory-thanks for sharing and have a good trip home!
Agree. Had to buy the yarn.
What a great trip! And you definitely needed some souvenir yarn 🙂
