Oh dear. Please will someone stop me, tie my hands, hide my purse, anything to stop me from buying even more yarn? After a quick enable from a couple of members of the North East Yarn Fiends on Ravelry, I visited Woolaballoo in Crawcrook. It is amazing - they have beautiful yarn. They are lovely people. They have Colinette, Noro, Regia (including the new Galaxy yarn), Artesano, Ranco. They are good value. The displays are lovely - I can see what things look like, and feel the luscious yumminess of the yarn. They are sitated 5 minutes in the car from my house. They are too near...
5 Skeins of yarn, 2 circulars and a book later, I am at home, and I am torn. I have a Local Yarn Shop which is local, and beautiful. I also need to discipline myself, else I may as well ask for my wages to be paid to Woolaballoo each month, and I can then just go and pick up my goodies! I shall be back, and I shall be buying. Again. What a lovely shop!

oh lucky you, sounds a great shop:) Look forward to seeing pictures of the yarn:)
And now you're passing on that good enabling vibe! That shop is just too near for comfort, I've just checked and it's only half an hour away from me *throws the car keys away* It's wonderful to know that there's a great LYS nearby and with lovely stock too, I will have to check it out :) Sounds like you had a great trip!
Oh crikey I don't know if I should be envious or not ;-) but I do wish I had one near me so that I could at least see all these yarns before buying as I buy mostly on line. Trouble is I don't do JUST looking and so it seems neither do you :)
PS : you could do yarn reviews LOL
Oh dear. You're doomed.
Come to Skip North next year and compound your problem!
