Lellabella, a yarn shop in Venice

@brittarnhild

A few days ago I posted a picture of a closed door, the door to a yarn shop in Venice. When the noise of the drilling machine sent me out walking yesterday, I decided to go back to the store.. May be not to buy anything, but al least to have a look. The store, Lellabella, is not far from my apartment, and I have learned my way now. Withojut a map. Without any wrong turns.

This time the shop was open, and one of the owners was inside, knitting. I went in of course and as always, after saying "buon giorno", asked "do you speak English?" Luckily, for me, she did, and soon we were deep in a conversation about knitting. The Lellabella yarn shop is owned by mother and daughter, Lella and Monica. The mother, Lella, was the one I met, and she told me she had run the shop for more than 40 years.

The shop is only a small one, and according to Lella, all the yarn they sell is Italian. Here and there you find knitted models, all made by Lella and Monica. All very colourful. Just the way I like it.

"Look at the colourful fringe" I said when I saw this. "Yes, this is modern in Italy for the moment" Lella told me.

If I bought anything?
Well, of course I did. And Lella had to do a special search to find what I wanted :-)

Just like bookshops, I find it hard to leave a yarn shop without a purchase! Look forward to seeing what you went back for.

I agree Fran. Not only hard, it is impossible ;-)
