Welcome to the Blog!
I hope you enjoy my musings on yarn, design, life in general - and cats of course!!

We're now back from our trip to Harrogate and our first experience as exhibitors at a Knitting and Stitching Show. We had a great time, met loads of lovely people from all over the UK and beyond, and had excellent sales - a big thank you to everyone we saw and talked to. We got back to Norfolk very tired after our first four-day event, but thrilled with the response to our stand. We've already booked to go back next year so hope to meet lots of your again then!
Many of our lines proved extremely popular - Alan virtually sold out of his owl stitch/crochet markers, plus a number of project bags and needle rolls. The crochet flower brooches and the kits to make them flew off the stall from early on Thursday until Sunday - I was kept busy in the evenings getting more ready for stock! I'll be loading lots more onto the site over the next couple of weeks. We also sold loads of yarn - the remaining stocks will be appearing in the web store as quickly as I can get them done. If there is any type or colour you're looking for in particular, do please contact us and I'll get what we have listed for you. I’ve also managed to get hold of a couple of kilos of Cashmere/Silk fine lace (1,400m/100g), so that will be available at Harrogate too, and on the website immediately afterwards. Golden Sunset is pictured right. We'll also be launching some new packs of mini-skeins in fine silk, alpaca and merino yarns, following requests from embroiderers, lacemakers and crocheters. Each pack will contain 5 different colours of a single yarn type. Hope to see lots of you at Harrogate over the four days - don't forget, the show is open until 7pm on the Thursday. There's a special discount for our customers so you can buy advance tickets for just £11 (normally £13). Simply quote EX14 when booking. Visit the website here or call 0844 848 0155. |
