Our new winter yarn collection has arrived!
For 2023 we’ve kept it local and added a mix of locally designed, grown and spun yarns.
You’ll find some old favourites that are new to us and some new NEW yarns that we’re excited to add to the line-up.
With a mix of yarn weights, from 8 ply to bulky, there’s something new and shiny for every project.
