As we go into Autumn its time to restart our crochet lessons again.
They will all be at 4.15 on a Saturday after the shop has shut.
For the moment I will focus on beginner lessons as I have had quite a few people request them. The lessons are £20 for the two hours and you get everything you need in that.
Please pop into the shop or message me to book (payment is taken at the time of booking)

complete beginner crochet lessons £20 4.15-6.15
Saturday 5th September 3 places
Saturday 12th September 3 places
Saturday 19th September 3 places
Saturday 26th September 3 places

Due to a few people booking lessons last year and then cancelling last min (one person in particular did it 4 times) then I'm going to have to put in place the rule that a lesson can only be moved/rebooked once as it is not fair to the people waiting to book lessons and its not fair to me as I loose money. Illness and family things can't be helped and I am happy to accommodate where I can, but simply forgetting or not turning up makes things hard on a small business.

After an epic session putting out 6 huge boxes of yarn and moving what feels like half the shop I can finally sit down and show you the new yarns we have so far.

I will be seeing one of my wool reps next week and there will be several new ranges to add to this ( I have emptied a whole unit in anticipation)

In the mean time have fun with funky prints DK and drool over the stunning colours of Ombré Aran.

Our next round of special offers to make space for new lines starts today.

King Cole big value 50g DK is now 10 balls for £10.

There are 74 colours to choose from but once its gone its gone so please make sure you buy enough for your project.

(we won't be accepting swaps/exchanges on this line any more)

Don't worry the baby 50g is staying

23/07/2026

I have reached the stage where there isn't a single inch of room in the shop for new yarns (and there are lots of exiting ones coming over the next few months)

The shop has been open for nearly 6 years and there are some ranges that we have had since the start so I have decided to call time on some of these yarns to make space for new ones.

These are the ones currently on offer

Curiosity DK 150g (2 for £10)
Pebble chunky (2 for £10)
Boom super chunky (2 for £10)
Aztec Aran (4 for £10)
simply cotton (4 for £10)

Over the next few months more will be joining their ranks including the majority of the 50g Big Value DK (I will only be keeping the baby and a few colours for toys in this range)
Yummy glitz
Baby pure DK
Homespun prism DK and Aran

So please be aware that is you are wishing to buy any of these yarns I will not be restocking any of them so please purchase enough for your project.
These yarns will also not be accepted as returns once they have sold out.

On a positive note I have just unpacked 4 new stunning colours of Firefly Aran that won't go on the website until next week.
