Hey Everyone !

Where did that last week go ............ ?

We opened our doors last Tuesday after the long lockdown which seemed to last forever and the last week since opening has simply flown.So so good to see my lovely customers again and some new faces too.

What's New ?

Well we have some new cotton in from Stylecraft... the fabulous Naturals Organic Cotton (vegan friendly)

these are 50g balls, 100% cotton & only £2.50 per ball, they knit to most DK patterns & crochet too ! and have @ 105 metre per ball.

Dont' forget the Sweet Blossom Blanket CAL starts tomorrow (see previous blog) the yarns kits are £28.68 and are available NOW

please get in touch to reserve yours, you can contact us here

If knitting in cotton just isn't your thing how about this stunning ladies sweater, the sweater pattern is free with yarn purchase & the yarn is Rico Creative Melange DK.

There are 2 styles on the pattern, a long sleeve sweater or with three quarter sleeves.

You can find the pattern here which has a link to the yarn

Customer Lay by yarns

Could I please ask my customers for whom I am holding yarn .............

I would be very grateful if you could make arrangements to collect any yarn that I have been holding for you during the last lockdown.

If you no longer need it or not sure if you will require it to complete your project - either way please do get in touch as we do need some space back!

I am quite happy to extend the expiry date but do need you to let me know.

Any yarns that have not been claimed or extended by the end of this month (April) will go back into stock.

Bye for now

Sue

What's New for Spring Summer 2021

Well here we are 2 months into this 3rd lockdown but we have now got a date to look forward to, April 12th ......... fingers crossed that we can welcome you back into our Wool shop once more.

I don't want to dwell too much on the last 12 months as we all know that there has been so much suffering and hardship I really want to stay positive and hope for a better future for us all.

So let me start with some new products that have recently arrived and I'll begin with the new Stylecraft You & Me,

You & Me is a self striping fair isle effect yarn, meaning that it does the work for you, its super soft feel comes from a blend of acrylic and cashmere effect polyamide, it is machine washable and great value at £4.95 a ball.

Colours are a combination of soft pastels with burst of bright greens & pinks to add a splash of vibrancy to your knits, patterns include a selection of trendy sweaters & cardigans in girls and ladies sizes.

So as you can see there are 6 shades in the You & Me range,

100g balls

250 metres per ball

80% premium acrylic & 20% cashmere effect polyamide

machine washable

will knit to most DK patterns

Here are the patterns that Stylecraft have released for the You & Me, it is worth noting that there are both cardigans & sweaters designs on each pattern and instructions included for girls sizes & ladies sizes too.

As I write we have all shades in stock and all of the 6 patterns too, the You & Me is £4.95 a ball and you can find the yarn here

Couldn't wait to start knitting in this fabulous yarn so here is a baby dress knitted in shade 3765 (sophia) trimmed with white Bambino DK

and here is pattern 9823 knitted in shade 3764 (ava)

the sweater was knitted for us by the very talented Charlotte

and you can see more of her wonderful creations here

Hope you have seen something that you like or has inspired you a little ?

Please do get in touch if you have any queries, you can email me and if you wish to make a purchase we are posting worldwide during lockdown and are offering a click and collect if you are close enough to our Wool Shop to collect your yarn.

Stay Safe everyone

Sue
