Spot the difference! Can you believe we've been open in our Steyning location for a year? To celebrate, the first five people who come in tomorrow and spend at least £30 will get a birthday goodie bag. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Let’s see what we can do to help. I shall wind off some balls of white yarn tomorrow.
Come into the shop, pick up some yarn and let’s get knitting and crocheting and spread the kindness that we all need in our lives.

Can you help make kindness travel further?

Following the fantastic response to last year's Your Community Cares campaign, we're asking residents to pick up their knitting needles, crochet hooks and crafting supplies once again.

Working with the Southeast Communities Rail Partnership CIC, we're inviting local people to create handmade white hearts that will be given free of charge to passengers and rail staff at stations across West Sussex on Thursday 26 November.

The hearts are a small gesture of kindness and care, helping to demonstrate the rail networks commitment to creating welcoming station environments and encouraging people to feel more confident using public transport.
The campaign also supports wider efforts to tackle violence against women and girls and build safer, more connected communities.

Last year, more than 7,500 hearts were donated by people across Sussex and beyond, helping to spread kindness and spark positive conversations across the rail network.

How you can help:

🤍 Knit, crochet or create a white heart out of felt
🤍 Any pattern or design is welcome
🤍 Hearts should be no larger than 10cm
🤍 Drop them off at any West Sussex library by Saturday 31 October (go to the comments section to find your nearest local library)

Please share this post and tag a knitter, crocheter, crafter or community group who might like to get involved.
