BUENOS AIRES YARN STORE RECOMMENDATIONS (THANK YOU, MARTINA! On Instagram as @what.martina.makes):

Street recommended: Av. Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz
Stores (but note, lotssss more on that street in addition to those mentioned below!)
Cencherle Fábrica de Lanas (probably my favourite for undyed, natural fibre yarns — left-hand side of store)
Budetex flagship store (more commercial & expensive, but very tourist-accessible)
Lanas Naturales (Martina’s favourite!)
Moussa Lanas
Milana Hilados
