I often work like this...Just start somewhere. My steam punk victorian frock coat knitting pattern was designed just by starting to knit it from the petticoat up. Working it out as I go along .No pressure...Just creative fun!

Support your local wool shop

We used to have a great wool shop...

This time of year we have a lot of out of town visitors to our wool shop. And something I hear all the time is " we used to have a great wool shop".

They closed down..

People went online during the great plague of 2020 and never went back.

For every project you buy your yarn online with, it's another project that hasn't supported your local wool shop.

For every brand you choose that only sells online and that wool shop can't get in for you is another project that eats into the income of your local wool shop.

For every workshop you attend that is using online branded yarn... ask why??????

If you've got a local wool shop.. USE IT OR LOSE IT!

There are so many choices, so many options, so much help and support in your local wool shop... you only have to ask if they can get yarn in for you and they will!!

They will get yarn in for your projects, they will help you if you get stuck on your pattern, they will organise knitting and crochet clubs, they will have those emergency supplies you need even faster than amazon can drop them into your lap. They do the things online cannot. They provide employment in your community, they use the other local shops in your town, shopping local keeps the whole cycle of community and high streets alive and not dead and buried under a pile of online orders.

PLEASE THINK ABOUT USING YOUR LOCAL WOOL SHOP BEFORE BUYING ONLINE.

At the moment it's pretty crucial..... Just saying this before you are the ones also saying.... we used to have a great wool shop too. ☹️☹️☹️☹️

And incase its about price... at the welsh wool shop and unwind we price match online for brands we can stock.. its hard but we have to, to keep you with us... if you choose brands that are exclusively online... well we will be gone before you can say.. wool warehouse.
