Have you been like me and experienced a roller coaster of emotions over the last few months ?

There has been some tragic stories on the news and I do pray that a remedy will soon be found so we can rid the world of this awful virus.

Here is some positive news for us, I plan to re-open the shop next Thursday the 18th June from 9am to 1pm and also Friday 19th & Saturday 20th June 9am to 1pm too.

These hours are obviously not our normal opening hours, I have been debating what to do ........... and thought I would open reduced days and opening times to 'settle in'.

It's going to be a bit strange to begin with and we also, along with other retailers and businesses are changing our practices and routines to comply with the requirements and recommendations.

We will only allow 2 customers in the shop at any one time, the shop is spacious enough to keep to the 2 metre distancing rule.

I will be available to advise and if you prefer I am happy to take telephone and email orders for you and make arrangements to collect at a convenient time.

There is hand sanitiser available near the entrance to the shop.

We are having a screen installed at the counter near the till.

And of course, please stay at home if you are feeling unwell or a member of your household is feeling unwell too.

Remember ...we can post to you if you are unable to leave your house.

Facemasks

take a look at our cotton facemasks on our Etsy shop

Stitched in Norfolk, they are made from quality designer cotton fabric.

There are different colour choices to choose from including florals and some quirky fabrics too.

You can order the facemask via this link or email me if preferred and they can be collected from our shop in St Nicholas Street to save on postage.

Take care

Sue

Hello everyone

I guess, like me you are trying to make the best of the lockdown that we are all in at the moment. The news is just horrific and it is just so emotional hearing the personal stories that are going on right now across the country. Thank goodness for the wonderful medics, support staff, delivery drivers and all those that are keeping the country on the go during this apalling situation.

I am finding my knitting and crochet does help to ease the mind, and although my Wool Shop is obviously closed at the moment  I am 'working' from home, so you can place your yarn orders through the website  as well as my ebay shop and Etsy store too, or you can email me if you can't see what you're looking for.

I am sending out parcels via a courier service which I think this is the safest method available.

Here are some links for you in case you need some supplies !

  Diss Wool Shop Website  

Ebay shop  

Etsy store Stitched In Norfolk 

£10 Yarn Clearance

I am listing some yarn bargains on Ebay, lots of them are £10 yarn bargains. These may be yarns of the same sort or perhaps they might be 'mixed lots'. I shall be listing these over the next few weeks so keep an eye out for them.

Here is just one of the recent listings you can find in our Ebay shop and whilst stocks last  .... Katia Sweet Home. A huge 300g ball sufficient to knit a wonderful scarf or shawl. Suggested needle size is 7mm to 8mm so this will knit up really quickly. What about making some Christmas gifts now (yup sorry there's the other C word !)

or another suggestion if you fancy some stitching rather than knitting or crochet. How about these cute cushions ?

we have the fabric panel available to make the 4 cushions. Click on the HERE to take you there only £5.99

Hope that's given you a little inspiration until next time

please take good care & stay safe

Good Morning

Wow where has the last week gone ........... ?

I think I am still recovering from the glorious sporting weekend, I've always enjoyed tennis and Wimbledon is such a special tournament but cricket, to be honest is just not my thing unlike my sister who is an avid cricket fan but I got hooked (forgive the crochet pun)! in the final stages of the cricket match last Sunday as did most people I guess who were watching and really enjoyed it.

And I have finally got my personal Facebook back ........ something weird happened ages ago with my FB accounts, I had a personal FB page as well as the business 'Diss Wool Shop' FB, and sometime last year I lost the ability to share posts, see news feed, lost access to my groups ........ about the only thing I could do was to post on my Diss Wool Shop page.

I had tried numerous times to re-boot FB, change log-ins etc and also tried several times to contact the FB Help team and failed miserably in both my own attempts & to get a response from FB. I was getting so frustrated and actually on the point of deleting my FB account completely .....

And then happened to be chatting to a good friend recently who recommended a local computer repair guy Jo, who last week did help me with my FB issues, it's meant that I have had to re-start with friends & groups as my previous personal FB had completely disappeared  but at least I am back and can see my friends posts again .......!  So thank you to Joe from Bailiwick IT
