En la planificación de mi viaje a Ginebra no podía faltar una tienda de lanas pero, para mi sorpresa, no parece que haya una comunidad tejedora muy activa en la ciudad.
De hecho, sólo conseguí encontrar información sobre "Le Rouet", una mercería situada en el barrio de Carouge.
Desgraciadamente, cuando visité esta zona de Ginebra era domingo así que como era de esperar la tienda estaba cerrada pero aún así me acerqué a echar un vistazo.
Por lo que pude ver a través del escaparate, la tienda es bastante grande y tienen mucha variedad de ovillos de marcas como Katia, Phildar, Lang... así como libros y artículos de mercería.
No os puedo contar mucho más, pero si alguna vez vuelvo a Ginebra intentaré visitar la tienda de verdad.
P.D: Siento mucho que la calidad de las fotos sea tan mala...
When planning my trip to Geneva I couldn't miss a yarn shop but, surprisingly, it seems that there is not a very active knitting community in the city.
In fact, I only could find information about "Le Rouet", a haberdashery located in Carouge neighbourhood.
Unfortunately, I visited this area of Geneva on a sunday so just as I had expected the shop was closed but even so I came over to take a look.
From what I was able to see through the window, the shop is quite big and they have a wide range of yarn of brands such as Katia, Phildar, Lang... as well as books and haberdashery items.
I can't tell you much more but if I ever go to Geneva again I will try to visit the shop for real.
P.S: I am sorry for the bad quality of the pictures...
