As you can see around the store we have had a few changes. Some yarn has been discounted or discontinued. We have also received some new yarn from King Cole, so we have moved yarn around the shop. The DMC Velvet (chenille) yarn (larger balls) has moved from near the 8ply children's pattern area, to next to the DMC Happy Chenille. Please see the photos for reference. Therefore all the Chenille yarns are now together.
