This morning I walked a few minutes from our hotel to this Australian institution to browse for yarn and ideas. The shop was located inside a gallery. The lower level was a huge bookstore already populated and on the third level was Morris & Sons. Another woman was also waiting for them to open.
I think they take knitting and cross stitch and embroidery and sewing seriously around here.
