Saturday Afternoon Treat

I am sitting here looking at the new Rowan Fine Tweed in Buckden, which is a pale tweed grey, and I am starting a swatch so that those of you who can make it on Saturday afternoon,  can have a play!  We have a vast selection of the new yarns available for you to try and then there is the hard decision about what to knit first.

The Fine Tweed is slubbier (is that a word?) than the Scottish Tweed 4ply was and, I think, softer.  With 24 shades to choose from there is a shade for everyone. It is knitting up amazingly, giving a slightly mottled effect.

The Rowan Tweed comes in 18 shades and knits as a DK so very versitile.

This is just a small taste of what’s available on line and in store – especially for those who we will see on Saturday for coffee and cake, yes Helen is making some more delicious cakes for us, and tea if you desire.

Saturday Opening

 Saturday Opening Treat

As the new Autumn / Winter seasons yarns and books will be out at the beginning of August we are opening on Saturday 13th August from 12am till 5pm as a special treat for all our customers especially those who are unable to visit us during our normal opening hours.   So everyone has the opportunity to browse the new patterns and swoon over the new yarns… most of the new seasons pattern books are available for pre-order.

There are some scrumptious new yarns coming out –

Rowan Fine Lace Yarn and Creative Focus Worsted Yarn  to name a few from Rowan.  With Debbie Bliss bringing out a chunky version of her popular Rialto, Rialto Chunky and Paloma a knitted chunky merino alpaca mix.

 

One of Louisa Harding’s new yarns is Grace Hand-Beaded , a silk wool mix with beads – it is a gorgeous yarn for garments or accessories or edgings.

Just a few to get you planning…. don’t forget Saturday 13th August.  See you then
