Sock Yarn Resources

Do you want to spend some money? Is your credit card lonely? Do you want some more colour in your life?

Here are a few shops that sell yarn (including handpainted sock yarn) online and ship internationally. As I find more good stores, I will add them to the blog.

World Wide Knit in Public Day

World Wide Knit in Public Day site

There is no event listed yet for Seoul, but I’m really interested in getting something started!

From the website:

WWKiP Day is really about showing the general public that knitting can be a community activity in a very distinct way. In some places there are many different knitting groups that never interact with each other, on WWKiP Day they come together in one place, making them hard to miss.

2005 there were about 25 local events around the world. In 2006 there were about 70 local events. 2007 there were almost 200.

Over the years there have been local events in Australia, China, England, Finland, France, Ireland, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, United States, and so many more countries.

WWKiP Day takes place on the second Saturday of June each year.
