New Noro Yarns for 2010

Posted on: April 17th, 2010

Now have in stock fantastic Taiyo and Furin yarns.

Jane Ellison has produced what I think is the most fantastic Noro Kids book for ages 1 - 10 years.  Mission for 2010 to knit every garment in it - just finished first one - not bad going as book only came into shop on Thursday!

Jane has also published a really great Men’s Noro book.

Will be putting on line soon a list of substitute Noro yarns as some of the yarns featured in new books are not available in UK but will knit up to other Noro yarn tensions.

Just to let everyone know the shop will be open on Saturday from 10am - 5pm and Sunday 10am - 4pm so you can get an extra yarn fix!  Not enough room to take everything to the Maltings but shop is now bursting at the seams.

Have now received deliveries of the new Debbi Bliss Baby Eco yarns and books together with her new Amalfi yarn and books.

Lots of new Louisa Harding including her amazing Merletto yarn - the colours and texture are out of this world.  New Bijoux and Belle pattern books also in stock.

Had a delivery today of some really exciting books together with lots of KnitPro Symfonie wood needles/hooks/accessories. Am now also stocking the Nova metal range.

Have had new stock of Pompon multie including some of the new colours and also have a limited stock of Grundl pompom yarn that is all sparkly!

So much still to do but just know it’s going to be a fantastic weekend with the bonus being that I get to catch up with so many customers and suppliers that I don’t get to see much of.
