Plenty to catch the eye in this one Peter... I like it!! Is it cash only? Looks like some good quality goods and great deals.

Cash only? Ha ha if you asked them if they take credit cards they wouldn't know what that is.

Did some yarn get accidentally undone or is the yarn a product they make from the start?

I don't know. This woman was winding up balls of it to sell. In the street I saw many women winding yarn onto a spool as the walked along.

Peter,
I remember my mother coming home with loops of woolen yarn which we had to hold in front of her so she could wind it into a ball. When knitting a sweater, socks or a scarf, she always worked with a ball of wool not the loops of yarn. So I guess when the fiber is "spun" into yarn, it ends up in the loop that then needs to be wound into a ball for knitting or weaving.
