Just a quick post to let you all see the garments I have had stored on the camera and have not published yet. Thanks to all of you who have brought your finished projects in to show us and let us photograph.









This Aran Waistcoat was knitted by Margaret in Rustic Aran Tweed ( shade DAT3 ). The Pattern is Sirdar 2231















This Cotton Sweater was knitted by Jane in Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK ( shade 3670 ). The Pattern is Stylecraft 8554
















Linda knitted this beautiful little pink cardigan in Peter Pan Moondust DK ( shade 3002 ). The Pattern she selected was Stylecraft 8040.













This lovely sweater was knitted by Wendy in one of our new yarns; Stylecraft Trendsetter Chunky ( shade 1685 ). The photograph doesn't really do it justice as the yarn has a fine metalic thread running through it so that it shimmers. The Pattern is also new; Stylecraft 8643.
















This gorgeous Sweater Dress was knitted by Lynn in Wendy Aran with Wool ( shade 693 ). The Pattern is James Brett's No JB100 .

Sorry that we haven't posted for a while but we have been rearranging things to make room for some of the new Autumn/Winter stock. We thought it would be good to give our customers a bit of a preview so here are a few of the new lines.
   New Wendy Celtic Chunky is a tweed effect yarn in a range of muted earthy tones which give it an real outdoor feel. Celtic, due to its look and range of earthy colours, is very much a unisex yarn and Wendy's patterns (Wendy 5672 shown) feature comfortable fashion garments that are light to wear but also lovely and warm. This yarn has a lovely feel to it.  



Sirdar Folksong Chunky is a gorgeously colourful yarn that comes in 4 space-dyed shades, wrapped with a subtle white highlight. This soft, wool rich yarn has a lively twist that springs into cosy, chunky stitches as you knit. Folksong Chunky is beautifully versatile and Sirdar have produced some lovely Patterns (Sirdar 9662 shown) to show this wonderful yarn at its  best.







If you love 4 ply you'll love this. Aviemore from Stylecraft is a super new self striping 4 ply yarn. Superwash wool  for warmth and nylon for soft touch and durability. It knits up to any 4 Ply garment pattern and is, of course, great for socks, hats, gloves and scarves. Stylecraft  have produced some fresh Modern Patterns to highlight this lovely wool.



Plus, we have new colours in Big Softie Super Chunky  and in Sirdar Softspun DK. So pop in, have a cuppa and a browse around.
