I fly to Cochin in southern India on Sunday with Toni. It's going to be pretty fun as we always talked about doing this as teenagers - pretending we were Edwina and Patsy off Ab Fab in Morocco. We might do Morocco too, one day when we are rich and famous.
I've been trying to find web references for Sari Yarn - I'm keen to find some nice stuff for a scarf or bag. Last time I went to India I bought a lot of fabric, cushions and rugs - but the colours all faded quickly. Apparently they use vegetable dyes which have little preserving abilities. So other than piles of silver (such fun bartering over toe-ring weights but my skills will have diminished and I'll probably pay a fortune!!) I thought Sari yarn would make a cool souvenir The wool peddler has the most descriptive site and have given me a few options. Now I just have to find a store during my whirlwind trip!!!
