Our eccommerce site is now 1 week old. We have Rowan, Touchyarns, Rareyarns, Artesano, Manos, Blacker and Noro available to by online already.
However........I've just got back from a 10 day holiday and now Verity has gone to Oz for a whole 3 weeks. Not the best time to open a website you might say but we've been keeping everyone waiting for such a long time that I decided to just go for it....... ever the eternal optimist!!

Don't forget that you can still buy mailorder by ringing 01626 836203. We're always happy to chat and help.

What's new?

As usual huge boxes of yarn keep arriving. Its always a surprise to me because I don't seem to be able to envisage exactly how much I am ordering! A bad admisssion from a yarn shop owner I know but I think most our our customers know that I am the really addict when it comes to yarn. It makes it easy to understand my customers!!

Our latest arrivals are the beautiful skeins of Manos 4 ply Silk Blend. These are bound to be popular as the shades are so vibrant and beautiful.
In the same box were the new skeins of Artesano British Sheep Breeds Superwash Chunky which have been spun up in Yorkshire by James Laxton, one of the only spinners with the vision to keep his mill going when all the others closed down.
Its the same mill which has spun Debbie Bliss's Blue Faced Leicester Aran yarn.
For all customers who believe that British wool is scratchy please take the time to feel these new British yarns.
Oh of course I mustn't forget Rowan yarns who have been trying to revive the British Wool Industry for a few years and now have an extensive range of British Wool. Plus Blacker yarns in Launceston of course.

We find it very exciting that so many established yarn companes are using British wool for their products and stock a number of lines in the shop, even if they are not on the website yet.


Glamourous yarns.................................
I find that I'm often thinking along the same lines as Rowan. The arrival of their new Kidsilk Glamour is just for me! Its a kidsilk haze with sequins! Perfect for Christmas presents.
I need to take some new photos in the shop tomorrow as these ramblings without photos must be very boring..
I'll tell you about the forthcoming visit from qiviet suppliers in Alaska in another post as well as our latest Rowan Fashion Show with Martin Storey and Alison Crowther Smith.

Cheers
