It’s Halloween tomorrow and we have some fabulous felted pumpkins in our window to celebrate. We are also showing off our favourite pattern book, Kim Hargreaves Heartfelt, with 2 Big Wool garments. It is almost the most expensive pattern book we stock BUT it is our current bestseller which says a lot about how fantastic the range of patterns are.

For Kim Hargreaves fans, we have just taken delivery of her new Amber book. This will be on the website next week, in the meantime we can take orders over the phone. Very wearable designs and great shapes.

Pat and I had a fabric buying trip to Manchester and we now have a small collection of gems to add to our extensive cotton range. Some needlecord, funky tartan, as seen above in the window, and lovely linen mixes and checked cottons among others.

For Christmas 2008 we have launched all new Knitting Parlour hampers! Even more luxurious than last year, each one comes packed in a unique handmade cotton tote bag. No two are the same! The best gift a knitter could get; start dropping hints now!
