Thursday morning we woke up Early, we were going to go on a shopping spree in Tampere, Tour de Tampere was waiting for us. We visited four LYS at Tampere with Fenneiu and Hiisa and had a really good day. And we did buy some yarn as well, here's what I bought.

Ensimmäinen pysäkki oli Lankamaailma Nordian Lielahden uusi myymälä. Ei ihan niin kiva kuin Helsingin toimipiste mutta kyllä sielläkin oli ihania lankoja vaikka millä mitalla. Mukaan tarttui langat Mamman torkkupeittoon (joululahja hänelle), itselle kaulurilangat (nuo reggaet) sekä ihanan keltaista alpakkaa Pogona-huiviin (rav it).
First stop was Lankamaailma Nordia that was open for its first day on thursday. Not quite as nice as the other one in Helsinki but yet a very nice LYS with lots and lots of great yarns. I bought yarn for Grandmothers blanket (it will be her christmas present), yarn for a cowl for myself (the raggea skeins) and some stunning yellow alpaca for Pogona (rav it).

Nordiasta suunnattiin ensin American Dineriin lounaalle (ihan epäreilua, että lapset saa ranskalaisia pahviautossa muttei aikuiset!) ja sieltä Merlettoon jossa pikaisesti treffattiin myös Lotta ja Rieppa. Hyörimme pitkään kaupassa hipelöiden kaikkea mahdollista mutta mukaan tuli vaan nää kaksi pientä kerää, näistä tulee kämmekkäät mulle.
From Nordia we went for lunch at American Diner (it so unfair that kids get their fries at a paper car and adults don't!) and from there we went to Merletto where we met also Lotta and Rieppa. I bought two skeins of Rowan scottish tweed 4ply for mitts.

Lankaidea was our next stop and there is simply too much lovely yarns! It was almost impossible to choose what to buy but I ended up buying two skeins of Lorna's lace shepherd sock in Safari colorway. And Brittany birch dpn's for my mom.

Our last stop was Taitoshop where I bought some (more) sock yarn, Kirjopirkka in lovely spring green shade and Virtain villa's 2ply wool yarn which probably will be Kalajoki socks (rav it)somepoint.

Tuo Alpaca on ihanaa.. Tein samasta keltaisesta mammalle ranteenlämmittimet.
Hieno saalis! Kyllä nyt kelpaa taas neuloa.

wow. When I was last in Tampere (about 6 years ago) the yarn shops, apart from Taito, were pretty sad stuff. And even Taito had mostly scratchy if beautifully colored yarn. Thanks for the tour! My best friend lives in Lempaala so I'll send her over to those LYSs to shop.
Beautiful yarn!
Mitä, ettekö käyny Aili Jokisella?! ;)
