Welcome to the knitting parlour online yarn and knitting accessories store

It’s all new!

Here is our current window at the shop, shot in 3 goes because it’s that much bigger now!

Here we have the amazing Clothkits! A real hark back to the 70’s and 80’s and now resurrected. We are one of the only retailers in the country to be lucky enough to stock them. In the window we have the Peekaboo Birdie dress and the hat and bag set. Please phone or call in for details. Pat has also made this cute skirt for my daughter with some of our Amy Butler fabric. And you can see one of Amy’s ready made bags there too!

Rowan Milk Cotton Tabitha Coat, Amy Butler Betty Shopper bag and half a Madison bag.

More lovely things from the Milk Cotton book.

The website is now up to date with virtually all of the new Autumn/Winter yarns and patterns. The current favourites are the Rowan Milk Cotton which is what the coat in the window is knitted with. For adults, the Rowan Cocoon is flying out of the shop. The Cocoon collection book will be on the website asap as we had run out when we came to do this update! It is in the shop though so you can always give us a ring. I’ve just started knitting Cheri, the lace tank,and I’ve seen Tyra knitted and it looks fab. The yarn is lovely to knit.

Cheri and Tyra

My next project is definitely the British Breeds yarn, one of the only yarns we stock that is truly British, from British Sheep and spun in Yorkshire. I was planning to knit a jumper for the Webmaster which I thought would be a great christmas present jumper for you to knit for the man in your life (forget the curse of the boyfriend jumper - it’s an urban myth!) for the shop window but that idea has been superseded by Bainbridge. I don’t want to call it a poncho because that doesn’t do it justice. It’s so much more than that and I think it will be fab for those bright winter mornings on the walk to school.

Lovely (but cable intensive) Bainbridge

and superseded (but still great) jumper.

Another amazing new yarn is the Sublime Organic merino. Fantastically soft and will be on the website next week. You know what to do in the meantime if you can’t wait!

Happy winter knitting!
