Morning checks: stunning sun rise and the dust bowl that is the chalk downs

This is a bit of a cheat post from Helen because she finished this item back in 2020. Unfortunately, it’s taken her 6 years to get round to blocking it, so technically it’s a new finish 😜🤔. Helen loves a bit of lace (although anyone who remembers back to when she made this will remember that she didn’t love the pattern so much). We hope you enjoy seeing it blocking.

Feeling the heat? Too hot to pick up that mohair sweater you’ve got on the go? Maybe a cotton top is the way forward? We’ve stocked up our Mode at Rowan Cotton DK range. 12 gorgeous colours to choose from, as well as a range of pattern ideas.

Someone very kindly lent this cushion to the young person who was unwell in the high street on Saturday. I have taken it in to The Yarn Dispensary. I asked in a few shops but I couldn’t find its owner. We are open today until 4.30 today and then at 10am Tuesday if you would like to come and claim it. Thank you Helen

We had such fun yesterday afternoon at our first crafternoon. We made Pom poms and bracelets, and the young ladies were so creative. There’s still time to book onto one of our upcoming sessions.

Just a quick reminder that we will be closing for a short summer break soon.

In huge news, and just in time for Finished for Friday, may we present a finished item. And you’ll never guess who finished it. Would you believe it’s Helen? I know, we can’t believe it either.
Using 4 strands of 4 ply yarn in a cunning ploy to use up some of her stash she produced this gorgeous brioche jumper. Just in time for the weather to cool down over the weekend (we hope)
Why not pop into the shop either Saturday or Sunday to see it in real life.
Hearthside Jumper pattern by Wool & Pine available on Ravelry or in store.
