Variable weather for summer?  Not  new thing but we have lots of yarn goodies to keep you busy inside or outside…

So when you are out and about on your holidays or just fancy a road trip, here is a list of some of the fantastic yarn shops in the North Wales and nearby area!  I have not visited them all but have heard from those who have, so please check if they have products you may like and their opening times.   Here’s the map

There are some more that I haven’t included but I am sure you will be able to fill the days with this selection ;

Autumn Winter has arrived from Rowan:

Sorry, we are nearly halfway through August…

So again an other month has whizzed by and with the fantastic weather we have been having, knitting and crocheting has not been on the agenda for many.  However we have been open and enjoying the steady stream of folk who are looking for that unusual or local yarn.

So what did we get up to in June, we had these fantastic works of art from Ruth Makes Jewellery Brilliant row counters that double as a funky, jangly bangle.

This Simplicity Cardigan was knitted from the top down so can be made as long as you like and have sleeves to the length you would like, it can be knitted in the Rowan Denim lace ( so cool and airy) or any other lace weight yarn you’d like.

The workshops in June were good and coincided with Sewing workshops next door at Amanda’s Fabric, so Earl Road was the place to be!

New Yarns on the way meant space had to be made :

On the last day of June a new indie dyer’s yarn was delivered, Seren Yarns along with a few project bags and notions!

Although it may have felt quiet, May was quite busy….
