Bought this beautiful sock yarn from at the and couldn’t wait to cast on 🧶🤍

Knitted these little tulip socks using my own pattern and I’m completely obsessed with them already!

Hopefully this isn’t where the project ends because single sock syndrome is so real 😳

What a wonderful weekend of yarn, colour, creativity, and community 💛🧶

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing team behind the Cape Town Yarn Festival for hosting such a beautiful event and bringing together so many passionate makers, creators, and yarn lovers.

And a very special thank you to Woolcrate for so graciously hosting and sharing their space with Vinnis Colours throughout the weekend. Your kindness, support, and beautiful setup made the experience even more special.

From colourful skeins and inspiring projects to wonderful conversations and smiling faces — weekends like these remind us just how special the fibre community truly is.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, squish yarn, admire projects, and share your love for handmade creativity 💕

Until next time… keep creating ✨

Day 1 at the Cape Town Yarn Festival was incredible ✨

There was so much to take in, from all the beautiful projects to the different stalls, and just being surrounded by people who love this as much as we do. We loved every second of it.

Vinni from was there with us and that always makes it feel extra special 🤍

We’ll be there again tomorrow, come say hello 💜

School holidays, sunshine, and stitches ☀️🧶💗

Coffee in hand, Table Mountain showing off, and a little pink project keeping me company… honestly, this is exactly what slow days should feel like.

No rushing, no pressure — just fresh air, good views, and doing what you love.
