At last our new website is ready!

All my previous posts of the last 6 years seem to have vanished so this one seems like starting all over again. I'm hoping that we will manage to find a place for the old posts in our archive but am not sure how to do that at the moment. Meanwhile I feel as though our history has been wiped.

And we do have a lot of history... From the light bulb moment of starting a yarn shop in tiny premises in our small but beautiful Devon town of Bovey Tracey on the edge of Dartmoor to this brand new venture of ecommerce from our current large shop in the middle of town.

Along the way we have hosted many, many workshops and now send newsletters/workshops out to 4,000 people all around the country. Our wonderful teachers include famous individuals such as Claire Crompton, Anniken Allis, Alison Crowther Smith and Debbie Abrahams.

We've staged 5 fashion shows with Debbie Bliss from Designer Yarns and Martin Storey and Alison Crowther Smith from  Rowan at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen who provide wonderful atmospheric premises and delicious food.

From running the shop completely on my own for 2 years I now have the help of Verity, our full time computer person, Sue, our part time manager and assistants, Ali, Di, Patsy, Yvonne and newcomer Jane. We're a friendly, happy bunch who are always ready to help with problems. We are surrounded all day by gorgeous, soft yarns in brilliant colours and we all love yarns!!

Look forward to seeing lots of you in the shop. Also you can join us on Ravelry, Facebook and Twitter.

Kind wishes

Joyce
