Hello lovely crafting folk. We are installing a new till system in September, which is very exciting and nerve wracking at the same time.
We will be introducing new gift vouchers/cards, which allows you to spend what you want on it incase you don’t want to use the entire balance in one go (I’ll explain that better another time). In the meantime if you have any of our current gift vouchers lying around, please can you use them by Christmas Eve 2026.
Everything in our shop are being entered onto the till for stock control. If you need some wool and can’t find it on the shelf, it may be in our stockroom ready for counting, just let us know what you need and we will see if we have it. In the meantime we are open as usual weekdays 9-4, and 10-2 on Saturdays.
From September are new Saturday open hours will be 9-1.🐄

Toilet update (I’m sure that’s what you’ve all been eagerly waiting for!). Our toilets seem to be okay at the moment 🎉👏🏼.

SORRY BUT OUR TOILETS ARE OUT OF ACTION 🤦🏻‍♀️. We have not long had them checked out and we thought fixed but looks like there’s still an issue. So sorry.

We often get asked about whether you can knit or crocheting on planes. Each airline has its own rules on whether you can or not, so please check with the airline you are flying with. But, we would recommend if you are taking knitting needles or hooks, take cheap plastic ones in your hand luggage and not your best ones just incase they are confiscated. You could always put your better ones in your suitcase.
If you are holidaying in the Uk, then the skys your limit!!! Suitcases full of lovely yarn, balls of wool squirrelled away in every available space in your car, caravan or motorhome!
Safe travels to those going off on adventures, and for those staying at home, we are here weekdays 9-4 and
Saturdays 10-2 in Costa del Bromwich 😄

Easy wrap top. No pattern needed, just basic sewing skills - so basic that’s I managed to make this one. Just 1 metre of fabric required.
Pop in and have a look, but please don’t look too close at my sewing skills or lack of them 🤣.
So, if I can make this just imagine what you can make. 🪡🧵✂️
