Travel Dictionaries for Knitters and Crocheters

Now that you have the shops you are planning to visit, how do you ask for yarn in France, Spain, Italy, Greece or Poland? Of course you bought a pocket travel dictionary, but it has no knitting terms, does it? Have no fear... Planet Purl is here. We've translated the most common phrases that you'll need. Just print your dictionary and enjoy your trip! But don't forget your regular travel dictionary, dear. After all, you'll still need to check into a hotel and order meals -- you can't yarn shop 24 hours a day!
