Our shop opened in Malvern on 22nd July. We had a drinks party the night before to celebrate and hopefully inspire family and friends!

We want the shop to be knitting mecca so that people get really excited about what we have to offer and can also come and hang out in the shop and knit whenever they like. We’ve got a big comfy sofa and a table and chairs and a kettle which is constantly on the boil! We are going to introduce more formal knit’n'natter sessions soon.

We are going to offer courses on learning to knit (Knitting Virgins) because believe me you will want to learn when you see the yarns and patterns we have and you will be amazed at how easy, quick and affordable it is to make a garment which you would pay a fortune for in a shop. We are hooked on felting at the moment and hope to offer courses and advice on this up and coming craze.

Sock knitting is really popular at the moment and we stock Opal sock yarn which is self-patterning. We also have starter kits for sock virgins. My kids love their socks and have insisted on wearing them even though it’s the height of summer!

We have just sent some Jacob fleeces to be spun for our own wool. It’s very exciting - watch this space for updates.
