All the Fun of the Fair is a delightful little haberdashery and yarn store on Carnaby street, Soho. It’s great to discover somewhere new in central London. Friendly, chatty service and lots of pretty things to look at, what’s not to like?

Looks good! I was wondering where I could find a good yarn shop when I was last in London. Do you remember if they sell crochet cotton?
Very very fine crochet cotton on cardboard reels but check out their website as I might have missed some. You’ll probably find the best deals online tbh, also try Planet Penny (see blog link here) as hers is brightly coloured and good quality.
When I say/think ‘crochet cotton’ I mean the very fine stuff. The trouble with buying online is that the postage bumps up the price a lot if you only want a ball or two. I don’t know anywhere here in Southampton that sells it. Also it’s good to see it in the hand before you buy. But only worth it if I am going to London anyway :-)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm looks terrific, whatcha get???
Ooh looks lovely! Maybe somewhere to visit when I am down in London for the BC meet-up on Dec 15th? Although I’ve got a feeling there is a yarn shop not far from the Camel & Artichoke too, or am I mistaken?
Yes, if you click on my ‘shopping’ tag you’ll see a few pics and my thoughts. iknit London is just along the same road and a great shop for yarn and browsing patterns
Ah yes, thanks. Although more yarn is probably the last thing I need at the moment – can’t do any harm to have a look though can it? ;-)
oooooh look at all that lovely yarn, its like an adult sweetie shop!
