Fully Woolly Yarns

Woolly Wisdom Wednesday 🧶🪡

Did you know your needles can affect your tension?
Same yarn. Same pattern. Same knitter…
But different needles can create a completely different fabric 👀

✨ 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀
Smooth and slippery — great for speed, but some knitters find they knit more loosely with them.

✨ 𝗕𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗼 & 𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀
Warmer in the hands with a little more grip, often helping create a steadier tension.

✨ 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲𝘀
Circulars, straights and DPNs can all feel slightly different to knit with too — especially depending on the weight of the project. It's always worth knitting your swatch on the needles you will use for that project.

💡 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺:
If your tension is slightly off, changing your needle material can sometimes help just as much as changing needle size!

Your tools really do make a difference 🧶✨

Happy Tuesday!
🧶☀️💛

Fully Woolly is officially back open after a lovely week away in Portugal — and while we may be missing the sunshine already, it’s so lovely to be back in Hythe and surrounded by yarn again! ✨

The shelves are full, the online orders are packed and ready to head out, and we’re looking forward to hearing all about what you’ve been up to while we were away.

So if you’re out and about today, pop into town, have a wander around the market, support some wonderful local businesses, and come say hello at Fully Woolly! We’ve missed you all 💛

Fresh off the plane from Portugal yesterday, we jumped straight into the Fully Woolly mobile this morning and headed to South Molton for a weekend full of yarny goodness! 🧶🚗✨

I’ve been looking forward to this weekend for well over a year and, honestly, it’s already exceeded expectations 💛

Today we had the incredible opportunity to visit the warehouse of , meet all the wonderful machines, and watch them hard at work bringing yarn to life — absolutely fascinating!

Tomorrow is another exciting day, with a Maths for Knitters workshop in the morning and a talk all about different wool blends in the afternoon 🥰

And to make it even better, we’re staying on a beautiful farm with plenty of cat cuddles to keep Mr Fully Woolly happy 🐈✨

Honestly? Absolute heaven.

Woolly Wisdom Wednesday 🧶✈️

𝗞𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆

Going away doesn’t mean leaving your projects behind 😉

A little holiday crafting can be the perfect way to relax — whether that’s by the pool, on the plane, or with a glass of something cold in the evening ☀️🍹

Here are our 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 for crafting in the heat!

✨ 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹
Socks, shawls, granny squares and sleeves are much nicer to handle than a full woolly jumper on your lap.

✨ 𝗦𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗲
Natural light = lovely
Direct sun + dark yarn = less lovely ☀️

✨ 𝗕𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 & 𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱
Metal and plastic can feel hot and sticky in warm weather, while bamboo stays cooler and has a little more grip.

✨ 𝗔 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗺 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽
Warm hands + sticky yarn = frustrating crafting. A tiny bit of talc can help everything glide more smoothly.

✨ 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗲𝘀
Cotton, linen and bamboo yarns are ideal summer companions.

💡 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺:
A cool drink with lots of ice definitely helps too… gin optional 😉🍸🧊

Happy holiday stitching! 💛🧶

Happy Tuesday from sunny Portugal!

The shop is closed this week while we enjoy a well-earned summer holiday with the family, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little retail therapy!

The Hythe Market is still on today, and the village is very much open for business (despite what the weather might be doing ☔️😅). So why not take a wander, support some wonderful local businesses, and treat yourself while you're there? 💛

Woolly Wisdom Wednesday 🧶👀

𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆
One of the best things about learning to read your knitting?
You start spotting mistakes before they become much bigger problems 😄

✨ A twisted stitch might look tighter or crossed
✨ An accidental purl can interrupt the flow of ribbing
✨ A missed stitch often changes the rhythm of the fabric
✨ And sometimes a loose stitch or join suddenly stands out once you know what to look for

The more familiar you become with how your knitting should look, the easier it becomes to spot when something looks a little different.

💡 Woolly Wisdom:
Not every mistake needs ripping back immediately — but spotting it early gives you options!

And remember… even experienced knitters make mistakes 😉🧶

Happy Tuesday!
🧊🐳🩵

And what a glorious Tuesday it’s shaping up to be! ☀️

It’s going to be a hot one today, so make sure you stay safe, keep hydrated, and take things nice and slowly out there. A wander around the market this morning followed by an ice cream this afternoon sounds like the perfect way to make the most of it. 🍦✨

Luckily, Fully Woolly stays lovely and cool all day, so do swing by and pick up a summery project… for your health, of course 😉🧶

And don’t forget — we’ll be closed 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲, so you’ve got just 3 days left to stock up on all your yarny essentials! 💛
