Spin Sunday is up and running! And our lovely customer, Sky, has brought one of her own wheels to spin and talk all things fluff. Pop along and have a go on our traditional wheels!

Did you know the word "spinster" is from the 1300's and literally means "someone who spins thread or yarn"? Working as a spinster meant women had economic independence and thus didn't need to marry, hence the meaning we now associate with it.

Do you think you have what it takes to be a spinster? Come along on Sunday to find out about spinning (or do your usual crafty shopping!).

We've not shown a TYC make here in a while, so let's start the year with a cute one!

Ever since we started stocking the Rico Cotton Alpaca Fun Neps, folk have been asking how it knits up....so we* made a sample!

Using just 68g of the Fun Neps, this is a Love Note by made in size 1-2 years! We've lost track of just how many of these we've made collectively....I've made three, and other members of the team have made or are in the process of making more. It's such a lovely, quick knit!

* The lovely
A wee chat about reduced opening over the next few weeks and what's going on at TYC. I was in two minds about posting this, but it's a conversation that's come up a lot even just since yesterday so it felt appropriate.

I'll see how we go, but I might yet revisit the "travelling to Germany" series I did a year ago.... same destination, different route! And I'm fine, so please don't fret. ♥️
We're baaaaaaaaaaack and raring to go!

Feeling refreshed after a bit of time off and I can even mostly remember where everything is.
Thanks for all your custom, good cheer and crafting inspiration in 2025.

We can't wait to see you in 2026!

Hope you all have the most wonderful Christmas and New Year. And for those who don't celebrate or for whom it's a difficult time - we wish you calm and peace. It's been a bit of a year for many of us. Onwards and upwards!
Christmas Eve dilemma!

I'm trying to work out what to grab for my Christmas cast on! I've narrowed it down to these three yarns and I guess I have a bit of time to work out what they might want to be.

What are your Christmas crafting plans? We're in til 3 today to help make them happen! 😁
I swear, I started drafting this post hours ago!

But! You have one more day of shopping before we close for our Christmas break and we've got a selection of Learn To kits, plus our ever popular Emergency Sock Kits.

Just in case you need an easy thing for under the tree still. 😉
This Winter Solstice, let us brighten your day with some light from our shop tree. Longer days from now on, folks!
