How to order your yarn in Spanish, French and Italian

In magazine-land, you're always planning two steps ahead, and it sometimes feels like you're gearing up for Christmas before Easter's over, never mind Bonfire Night, so it's rather nice to find that summer has finally arrived.

That said, the weather here in Bath really isn't cooperating at the moment, so we're still stuck indoors, dreaming of sunnier climates, where you can discover new yarns, new sites and new cocktails – but you have to order them all in Spanish – or French, or Italian.

To help you unravel the mysterious labels on any foreign yarns you might encounter on your travels this summer, we've tracked down crochet terms in six languages and this excellent guide to knitting from the French from ex-pat blogger Chez Plum, as well as a very useful list of other links to help you translate knitting terms in Russian, French, Danish or Spanish – as well as other languages – over at MWillsonDesigns.

So wherever you're off to, don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for exciting yarns – and if you find anything particularly lovely, do write and tell us about it.
