 We are absolutely delighted to be stocking yarn from the Gedgrave Flock. Tracy Ranger and her husband manage a small flock of Wenslydales from their small holding east of Orford, on the picturesque Suffolk coast. We currently have skeins of lace and aran weight in natural cream and a fantasticchunky weight textured yarn, "Rasta", which if you know the Wenslydale breed, reflects their natural coat with its "dreadlock" texture, hand-spun into skeins of fun and funky yarn, in three natural colours, cream, black/brown and grey.

Louisa Harding - Little Cake |
 |
 |
 |
 Louisa Harding's stunning new selection of patterns featured in her book, "Little Cake", are truly orig inal. Featuring two new yarns, Thistle and Willow Tweed the patterns are ultra-feminine and take their inspiration from the Alice-in-Wonderland story and the countryside surrounding Louisa's home. 26 projects marry the idea of traditional with a twist, the simple but exquisitely embroidered beret "Rakes Moss".
Attention to detail and fit are a trade mark of Louisa's work and the ability to alter the feel of a garment by changing a border edging or substituting colours produces unique garments to reflect your personal style.
You can't write an article about "Little Cake" without mentioning the extraordinary photography which tells a story throughout, making this not just a pattern book but a treasure trove for any knitter. |

Brittany knitting needles & Crochet Hooks. |
|
|

 These special needles are made in Northern California of sustainably harvested domestic birch hardwood. They are beautifully balanced and do not get as "sticky" as aluminium needles tend to do. We currently have in stock a full range of double pointed needles and single points as well as a set of three cable needles. We have now added the crochet hooks to the range. They are beautifully turned and a joy to work with. Both Brittany needles and hooks are favourably priced, starting at £4.99.
