A Sense of Place: UK Produced Yarn
The UK has a long, long history of wool production, with over 60 native breeds. Each one has evolved to suit the climate in their particular area, from Welsh Mountains to Yorkshire Hills, Southern Downs and Marshland and everywhere in between. When you buy UK produced knitting yarn, you are supporting local farmers and small producers, and choosing a reduced carbon footprint and higher ethical and manufacturing standards.

Make
Making things with your hands is good for you! The repetitive acts of knitting and crocheting diffuse stress and create a calm space. Natural knitting yarns and thoughtfully chosen tools make the experience even better.

Mend
If you have a treasured piece of knitwear, either shop bought or handmade, then knowing how to care for it will ensure that it lasts for as long as possible. We stock a considered range of mending tools and books to help you get started.
