Well that was a busy few days.
I don’t know how we did it but the water has been taken out of the carpets and they have been been cleaned. The broken flooring has been replaced, it’s not the prettiest but it’s fine for now.

We will be open tomorrow normal hours 9.30-4pm.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Xx

So we’ve worked very hard today, and still working at this minute, but it’s looking like it will be Friday before we can open.
The shop is drying out but it is in a state of upheaval.

I will be in on Thursday so if there’s any yarn you need that I can bring to the door for you feel free to give a knock. I can’t let anyone in for buttons, lace or patterns, I don’t ever want to turn anyone away but safety must come first.
Thank you to everyone who popped along today to offer words of encouragement it’s very much appreciated and if you could share this post I would be grateful.

Thanks and love to you all

Don’t know how this has happened but it appears we have had water flood in through our walls.
The shop will be closed until we can get things sorted but I will be in so if you need anything feel free to knock on the door.
