APRIL NEWSLETTER
We had a whole day of sunshine yesterday! I hope you did too even if, like me, the novelty of it pulled you away from your crafting.
After four years of waiting our Ashford days will be with us next week. Kate of Ashford New Zealand will be here with us for 2 days doing demonstrations and David from Ashford UK will be running a clinic for crotchety wheels. We'll also be open at the shop from 9am to 4pm on both Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th April so you can pop in for supplies too. We are closed on Friday 25th April as we'll be travelling to Wonderwool Wales, our apologies if you'd planned to come that day.
An old favourite, Welsh Blackberry, is back in stock. Yummy colours of Merino blended with Black Welsh wool, what's not to like?
The latest mystery fibre box, Paradise Hills, has just launched and there's only 12 so be quick if you'd like to bag one. It's based on one of Charlotte's favourite dystopian films and she likes it so much she made an extra for herself. Think Spring English gardens, perfect peaches, and soft greens and whites
WonderWool Wales is next week and we have got such a lot of lovely new fibres coming with us to the show. Simon seems to have spent a lot of time in his workshop so there are spindles and other tools aplenty and we currently have lots of Ashford stock too. If you're hoping to pick up something specific it's always best to check that we will have it with us as it's only a van we have, not a tardis. Drop us an email or give us a call.
