Interesting Yarn Store

I'm not sure whose idea it was to walk into Northern Watters Knitwear shop in downtown Charlottetown - but once we got in, it was hard to leave!

Terry enjoyed chatting with the owner's husband...

(I think his job is to keep husbands busy so that wives can shop!)








I enjoyed browsing through local yarns...













... and watching the hand knitters - all knitting on different types of knitting machines.












I loved these Newfoundland-style mitts - with tufts of wool knit into the stitches, to create a soft and furry interior.

I made mitts like this years ago. I still have them - but these are more colorful!

The longer we stayed, the more we bought!

(They have an online store as well!)
