Can you guess what our most popular product is online this month?
It's different to our most popular product in the bricks and mortar shop... what do you think it might be?
We'll tell you tomorrow...

We love seeing what you made with the things we sell you.
This is a particular joy: a traditional Betgwn. The back panel and the lining are fabric that was part of the collection from W.J Jones & Co, Brecon - meaning they are at least 70 years old. That fabric was stored for decades before being brought into the light and given new life!
Thank you, so much, Chanan for coming and showing us your creation and modeling it for us

We've had a bit of a move around to showcase our lovely yarn!

Over 3 days, we have consolidated the second- hand books into one bay of shelves, and packed our colourful yarn onto one wall.

Come in and see!

For Yarnstravaganza we received some balls of yarn from King Cole. They aren't a range we stock, so we decided not to put them in our goody bags, but instead to give them to two of our charity knitters. So here's June with her bag of chunky yarn, which we hope can make something cosy for one of the good causes she supports.
The prizes in our free draw this week will include yarn that we do sell, as well as some other goodies. To enter, just call into the shop and fill in a card (no purchase necessary).
