Our range is growing!

We are very excited to announce the arrival of 3 new yarn lines to our extensive range.



Patons Fifi, with its thick and chunky style, is perfect for impatient knitters (you know who you are!). Knitted on large 10mm needles, you'll be finished in no time... and with it's flecked style, the results will be stunning. Those who have knitted with Cleckheaton Gusto before will be familiar with the "chunky look" you'll achieve here with Patons Fifi, and for only $2.95 per 50g ball, your purse will love you as well!



We're expecting Cleckheatons' new yarn Country Paint Box 8ply will quickly become a firm favourite with our customers. Cleckheaton have put a great deal of thought into the creation of their shade palette, and have produced some beautiful shade combinations in these multi-hued yarns. Combined with its softness of handle, Cleckheaton's Country Paint Box is difficult to pass by.



Lastly, we welcome Panda Feltable Wool 8ply to our stable. Made from quality Australian pure new wool and available for only $3.50 per 50g ball, Panda's Feltable Wool 8ply is the perfect all-rounder, suitable for most knitted garments and accessories. Panda Feltable Wool fills the void left by the departure of Panda Woolbale last year, and in our opinion provides the quality and vivid shade range knitters of Panda Woolbale had come to love and depend upon.

As the name suggests, Panda Feltable Wool is also great for felters. If you haven't tried felting before but would like to give it a go, or you're an experienced felter looking for new patterns, this is the product for you. Right now, Panda are offering free patterns and felting instructions suitable for use with Panda Feltable Wool: further details are available on the ball band.

Introducing New Pattern Books for 2010

We're very excited about 2 new publications to our range in 2010.




Patons "The Big Book of Small Projects 2" presents a wonderful new range of highly sought after small projects, ideal for gift-giving, charity knitting, stalls and fetes. The book includes patterns for 3, 4, 5 and 8ply yarns, as well as a wide selection of crochet patterns, so there's something here to suit everyone. We were most relieved to see the wide range of knitted and crocheted toys available, as we receive numerous requests for these types of patterns. We also love the wide range of Christmas ornaments and wedding accessories, great for marking these important occasions in life. Click here to see more.




Also new to our range is Shepherd's publication "Baby Shower", containing 14 projects for new arrivals and young children. Once again, it's great to see patterns for pram toys and a stuffed animal make it into the mix. There is also a great, practical design for a nappy bag in there too. Choose from one of seven designs for pram covers and cot blankets, or knit hats, mittens, cardigans or jumpers for the 0 -9 month old in your life. Click here for further details.
