I own a yarn shop, so I'm surrounded by beautiful yarn every day.

Most of it I can admire perfectly happily.
Then something arrives that makes me start mentally planning projects...

This hand-dyed high-twist merino sock yarn is definitely one of those yarns.

If I was treating myself to a special project, this is exactly the sort of yarn I'd choose.

Which colourway would you take home?

🧶 Mandala Crochet Along – Week One Recap 🧶

We've officially finished Week One of our crochet mandala journey, and it's been wonderful seeing everyone's progress.

There's something special about crocheting a mandala. The repeating stitches, the gentle rhythm of the hook, and the symmetry slowly growing round by round create a project that's as much about the process as the finished piece.

Not every project needs to be quick. Sometimes it's nice to slow down, enjoy the stitches, and spend a little time creating something simply because it brings you joy.

I'd love to know...

💛 What do you do to create a moment of calm in your day?

Dont forget we are open today with our new hours 9am to 2pm.

We finished this cute wee handbag this week. This is made using one of my build you own bag kits exclusively available on my website.

Who would like to see the Bobbiny braided cord yarn as a regular in the shop? Its perfect for bags, baskets, playmats and rugs.

Just look at those colours... 😍🧶

I've been working on my Dragonfly Shawl using this beautiful hand-dyed yarn from Dye Candy, and I'm very excited to say that we'll soon be stocking their yarns here at The Bright Stitch!

If you're local and fancy some yarn squishing, don't forget we're open today. 💛

Now I need opinions...

If this skein came home with you, what would you make with it?

A shawl? Socks? A garment? Something completely different?

Tell me your first thought when you see it in the comments! 👇

🧶✨ Just a little reminder that I'm open today! ✨🧶

If you've been meaning to pop in for yarn, a new project, a kit, or just a browse, I'd love to see you.

Can't make it to the shop? You can order online anytime, and if you're local, you can choose collection at checkout and pick your order up when it suits you.

This lovely order is heading off to its new home today, and I'm always grateful for every order, whether you shop in person or online. ❤️

🌈 Join the Bright Mandala Crochet Along 🌈

Over the summer, we're inviting crocheters to take a little time for themselves and join our Bright Mandala Crochet Along.

But what exactly is a crochet along?

Traditionally, everyone follows the same pattern and works through it together. Our version is a little different.

Choose a mandala pattern that inspires you, gather the yarn and materials recommended for your chosen project, and make something uniquely yours. Whether you'd like to create a wall hanging, dream catcher, cushion, blanket, or another mandala-inspired project, you're welcome to join us.

The aim isn't for everyone to make the same thing.

The aim is to make together.

Throughout June and July, we'll be sharing progress, offering encouragement, helping each other when we get stuck, and celebrating the finished projects at the end.

✨ Making together, encouraging together, celebrating together. ✨

There is no cost to take part, and no pressure to keep up with anyone else. You can start today, next week, or whenever you're ready.

If you'd like some dedicated crochet time each week, I'll be hosting Bright Mandala Crochet Along lives every Wednesday at 7:30pm on TikTok. They're a great opportunity to crochet alongside others, ask questions, share progress, and enjoy a little creative time together.

We've also set up a Discord community where participants can:
🧶 Share progress photos
🧶 Ask for help with patterns
🧶 Chat with fellow crocheters
🧶 Find encouragement and motivation
🧶 Celebrate finished projects

https://discord.gg/ZsgW3UeRM

You don't need to be on TikTok to take part, and you don't need to join the Discord either, although it's a lovely place to connect with the community if you'd like the full experience.

For me, mandalas represent calm, creativity, and taking time to make something beautiful. My hope is that by the end of the summer you'll have not only a finished project to admire, but also a reminder of the time you spent doing something for yourself.

If you're joining us, I'd love to hear what pattern you've chosen—or if you're still looking for inspiration, let us know below.

Let's fill the summer with creativity, connection, and a little brightness. 💛
