It has been a very busy first month for us at the knitting parlour.

We have held our first knitting virgins classes with great success and plenty of enthusiasm from the participants. Our first sock-making lesson was today and also went really well, everyone loves Opal sock yarn.

Our range of yarn has expanded to include British Breeds Blueface Leicester DK and Aran and 5 ply Gurnsey yarn which we hope to also offer on the website soon. We will be stocking GGH in the shop, hopefully from September and will be offering this on the website by October.

We’ve been lucky enough to come by some local Ryland yarn. It is natural coloured and approximately an Aran weight. It’s gorgeous but very limited so unfortunately can’t offer it on the website, BUT when our own Jacob yarn is spun we will be selling that through the website so watch this space!

Coming up to Christmas we will be stocking some great knitting bags and needle cases from America. They are gorgeous and very unique - the perfect present, even to yourself!

More news soon, in the meantime happy knitting…
