House Move and Temporary Opening Times over May Bank Holidays

 I am closed Thur 1st and Friday 2nd May 2025, due to a house move and the shop will be closed.

I will hopefully re-open on Sat 3rd May but between 12 -4pm and on Sunday 4th May, 2pm – 5pm. Sorry about the inconvenience, it is such a stressful time!

Just had a delivery of some spindrift colours from Jamiesons of Shetland

Latest shop news and arrivals and closed Friday, 14th June 24

Took advantage of a quiet week to tidy up the back area with some new shelving from IKEA. It has been very busy last year with post COVID interest in learning to knit and crochet, but it has started to normalise.

I found these Elvarli open shelving units provide great storage and also for displaying some of the wool and the books I have in stock.

I don’t sell loads of patterns in the store, but I do get a lot of requests for easy and simple patterns, preferably non digital and also using straight needles!

Recently, I have started stocking Jane Ellison’s patterns for their simplicity, which are perfect for semi-beginner knitters who wish to move onto garments. Jane is based in Yorkshire and has been designing for decades.

I have just received a small delivery of Hedgehog Fibres’s Tweedy DK. They are priced at £25.00

Colours in stock: Noir, Soot, Amethyst, Connemara, Barley, Moonlight, Lullaby, Original and Haze

CLOSED on Friday, 14th June 24, but re-opening around 1.30 on 15th Saturday, as I will be going to St Andrews for my son’s graduation. I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by.
