London/belgravia district: yarn and fabric stores

I was in London Last week, Liberty's not a patch on it's former self but lots of cottons, John Lewis the same, but walk down Berwick street,on the edge of Soho,two great shops for silks and 3 or 4 other fabric shops,and loads of wholesale ribbon/ sequin type shops.The area is perfectly safe by day, but full of strip clubs in that part at night.

You'd be lucky ..... nobody knits in London anymore ...if you're in to cardmaking you might have a chance but not a lot else ...

Wow, not my experience at all, at all. Try John Lewis for fabric and there are various little wool shops dotted around. One very good one in Crystal Palace. . . .can't remember the name of it.

Last time I went to London (January), I searched for yarn stores. I went to Liberty's and John Lewis,because I most time was in the center, but was not VERY impressed... At home I had found this link, but I think I have seen it here lately?

is in the North, and I never got there, but it looks interesting. They sell online too.I mailed Collinette to get addresses, and here is the answer (Jan. 2006): COLLINETTE: Our largest suppliers in London are Mimi Hollander The Good Yarn Store

I also found Rowan Yarns in London, and I take these shops have other yarns too:

Liberty also has quite a bit of wool - my Mum has bought stuff for at least two sweaters there.
