Iโve a lovely independant to showcase this week. Say hello Knit2 tog in Reddish in Stockport which is just South of Manchester.
The shop opened originally in 2013 within a large department store situated in the old Broadstone Mill. The mill is still there and has a fabulous clothing department, shoe shop, housewares etc and the most delicious cafes. Knit2tog specialises on yarns that are on the more economical side! Stockists include Hayfield, Sirdar, Patons, King Cole, James Brett, Wendy all soon to be joined by Cygnet so there is a great selection of wools.
Janet is the owner Janet and her talented customers recently installed a display on the towns clock tower - see pics for details. The shop is the epicentre of the crafting community in Reddish.
Excitingly a local childrens author has a new book coming out at the end of this month, Daisy the Pantomime Cow, where daisy was discovered in the cellar of the church and brough to Knit2 tog for esential repairs! Proper Repair Shop vibes! I cant wait to see it.
If you wish to visit Reddish Vale it is an area of beautiful countryside with river walks and picnic areas. There is also Reddish Vale Farm an open farm where you can feed animals from tiny guinea pigs up to shire horses.
Reddish is located just 5 miles south of Manchester and all that entails. Janet highly recommends Manchester Art Gallery has she used to work there prior to opening Knit2tog. The gallery really recognises knitting and crochet as an art form
