Despite the weather today…2nd summer is on the way!

And what better for summer projects than cotton. It’s Just Cotton is an 100% cotton DK and it is really lovely to use. We have 25 colours in stock so hopefully something for everyone at every age.

Social media department is back from holiday (it’s me…Suzy…I’m the social media department!) and I have a question for people in my phone about my holiday knitting…

Do I start the colour repeat from red or do I work backwards starting with purple?

Well this mystery fabric box was full of Christmas magic!

Lots of quilting fabrics, cushion panels, advent calendars and more. And no…it’s never too early for Christmas is you’re crafting!

Pat’s creations are now royalty!

Pat’s cute crochet dogs (made in Special DK) were gifted to Zara and I’m sure they’ll be very well loved!

Please, please don’t listen to any rumour you may hear that we are closing down. We are trying our best to remain a fixture on our High Street as we have been for the last 18 years.

Footfall has been very low for the last couple of weeks and we really hope that this rumour is not the cause!

We are a family business (with no more family holidays planned!) and so there may be occasions when we have to shut early for a school run or for a day if a family emergency or close for 5 minutes while we grab lunch but if we ever (hopefully not in the near future!) have to close we will let our customers know.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our small business.

Every student has had great success with Wren Fibre Crafts learning how to crochet…so much so people have moved on to the next courses!

The C word? I love it!

If you start learning to crochet this summer, you'll be able to make all your CHRISTMAS presents, this year!

Come along to one of my 4-week courses and let me show you how it's done.
