I was walking along Rathmines Road this morning and passed by the old Lifeboat Charity Shop which has been empty and unoccupied for some time now. I thought I was seeing a mirage…
I took a closer look…
and yes it is definitely yarn! I spotted Hazbo at the bus stop and showed her what I saw in the shop window. She was able to confirm that IT is YARN which must have appeared overnight since it was not there yesterday.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed that this yarn is organic and Fairtrade…
So please confirm our suspicions…is there going to be a new yarn shop in Rathmines????
I just moved to the area on the 1st of July (I’m from Canada) and I started googling last night to see what kind of yarn stores there were in Dublin and was quite disappointed to see that there are barely any
And then today I’m walking down the st. and notice the same thing that you did and I was all excited but unsure as to whether I’d missed it the other days and it was just a store that had closed. Weeee, it must be true!! 
God, I hope so, though my bank-account may have something else to say on the matter. It’s a lovely spot for a yarn shop though, plenty of footfall and a nice big space.
Hehe, I hear ya! I had to leave all my lovely yummy yarn at home(I’ve moved here for a year on a working holliday visa), my needles etc…I’m in withdrawl so this could be dangerous! Hmmm, maybe they would hire me…
But yeah, great location, I can walk there in less than 10 minutes
I… want those needles.
I saw that lovely wool as well.
A planning application was granted there recently to convert the empty shop into a coffee shop.
This is indeed how rumours start!
How exciting….. Rumour has it tat it might be some type of organic/green craft shop….. I also heard that there may be a full yarn shop coming to the Swan Centre in Rathmines….. will let you know if I hear any more
Let’s hope those skeins of yarn in the window will multiply. It will be so handy – right near my lawn bowling club.
