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!

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. ♥️
Feeling refreshed after a bit of time off and I can even mostly remember where everything is.
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!
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! 😁
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. 😉
