Tomorrow is the last day of our pattern offer! All patterns are half price at £2 when you make a yarn purchase. We have plenty of choice so it’s the perfect time to get a few lined up for your autumn projects.

Local wool shops really need you to support them so if you like to buy in person you need to use them!

Hopefully we will see some of you 😊 We are closed on Bank Holiday Monday

18/08/2026

The shop is open! The table for bargains is out the front (unless the rain ☔️ comes!)
All patterns are still £2 each when you buy yarn so why not pick up a couple of new ones!!

Come and see us 🙂
