I am a textile artist and I am looking for shows or activities related to textiles from May 7-May 13th, 2017. I know about the V&A, the Fashion and Textile Museum, places to shop for threads and yarn. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Michele
I can't answer your question (sorry) but would be interested to know what yarn shops are on your list, as I'm going back to London soon myself. Thanks!

Was in London last year with a knitter and this shop was the best in her opinion:

Second best was the knitting department at Liberty.

Always a great reference to check.
Also, simply go to Liberty for the sake of enjoying it's utter uniqueness.
Michael thank you for the link to Loop.
I visited Liberty last December and somehow missed the knitting department but it was so crowded with Christmas shoppers I could easily have missed the yarn.
