The second store to be featured as part of my new Yarn Store Spotlight series, is Retrosaria - a brick and mortar store in Lisbon, Portugal with an attached online store.
Run by the multitalented Rosa Pomar, Retrosaria is a fabulous knitting and haberdashery store. I was drawn to their stock of beautiful Portuguese yarns purely because I'm a fan of anything that's a little out of the ordinary.
Re-Use Rosários 4 is yarn made from recycled denim and it has a lovely dense texture.
yarns pictured are: Beiroa 2 Ply, Bucos Meia, Mirandesa and Mé-mé 2ply
They stock a lot of natural, undyed yarns - which are beautiful in their own right, but would also be fun to home dye.

Unfortunately I can't speak for the brick and mortar store - although if I'm ever in Lisbon, I will definitely be visiting. The online shop is really easy to navigate, with translations of everything into English, and complete with an English FAQ. Here's a couple of photos of my yarn order...
If you're a fan of knitting or textile and fiber arts, I wholeheartedly recommend having a look at some of Rosa's work. You can find her here:
