I've already found 3 nice yarn shops in the local area:
1. Jackson's Department Store on King Street http://www.jacksonsofreading.co.uk/lifestyle.htm , very old style but friendly.
2. John Lewis in The Oracle http://www.johnlewis.com/Shops/DSShop.aspx?Id=19 , a very well-lit, modern and clean yarn selection, with lots of notions and a nice selection of fabric.
3. Hobbycraft, Forbury Retail Park, Off Kenavon Drive, http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/ . Going to check it out in a few minutes.
I bought a knitting kit for my son . . . it's an octopus for fun. Knitting is not easy for a 7 year old, tho. 6.99 pounds was a bit steep for 4mm needles and yarn with instructions but he was excited.
I will be starting something with either the camouflage yarn I brought with me or with something new I pick up at HobbyCraft.
