Isn’t it lovely that the days are finally getting longer? There’s some heat in the sun, although the nights are still chilly, and the flowers are tentatively peeking out from the leaf litter to cheer us all up and give us a burst of optimism for the coming months.

We have crocuses in our garden that are starting to purple up, and there are primroses showing between the planks in our industrial waste garden (sooo much work needed, oh my word).

What does that mean for the shop? Well, its looking cheerier with bright daylight shining in through the skylights for a start!

We’ve got new yarns in stock - I’ve listed Stewart Yarns in the online shop - and new shades of Cookston Crafts fingering weight. Plus loads of the natural shades of WYS Jacobs and BFL with the Home book to go with; the Bow Fiddle super long skeins are on the website, an excellent buy where one skein makes a decent sized shawl.

For babies we have Bo Peep Pure DK online, plus the Bo Peep DK in store (working on getting that online). Summer is great for cotton yarn, and we have shades of Rowan Summerlite DK for everyone. Such a lot of colour and prettiness around me!

Also recently listed are my favourite knitting needles Knit Pro Symfonie, and some quallity circulars Knit Pro Nova metal in a range of sizes and lengths.

On the whole, it’s all coming together. I hope all those who are eligible are getting their jabs, and that it wont be too long a wait for the rest.

Looking forward to seeing you asap.

Take care xxx
