I have a friend in America who love Tilly Thomas. I've been looking for yarns or patterns to send to her but can't find any. Any ideas?

I don't know about over here, but here's a link (http://www.tillitomas.com/)to the web site, which has details of retail shops in the states.

Also, the latest newsletter from Stitch Diva Studios (http://www.stitchdiva.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=SDS-034) has details of a lovely new Tilli Tomas design (actually, it just uses the yarn; the designer is Jennifer Hansen).

I must admit to not being familiar with this designer, so I'm a bit confused as to the spelling of her name. I presume that the Tilly Thomas mentioned in this Cast-On essay (http://www.cast-on.com/?page_id=68) and the Tilli Tomas web site I quoted are one and the same? It's a bit too much of a coincidence for it to be otherwise, I think, but just thought I'd check.

I was spelling her name wrong too. I found a London shop that sells it, so I've emailed them because although they've got it on their site, i can't click on anything to order...so watch this space!

I thik Loop in Islington may stock Tilly Thomas. I saw some of the yarns last year in the States - very nice.

Jules, If the shop was Stash in Putney, they only have a retail shop. They don't even do mail order?!??!?! What's the point of a website if you can't order from it or over the phone?
