Working in a yarn shop is a lovely job and we really enjoy helping our customers to choose yarn and inspiring them with new ideas. We also love to see the finished projects. Here are a few that you might like.
Bev recreated the Honeycomb Blanket using Silver Lining instead of Toasted Almond and Gina used Bashful Blue instead of Mellow Yellow. Considering each blanket only makes one change from the specified Stylecraft Bellissima colours, they look so different -- The original is shown as well which uses Single Cream, Toasted Almond and Mellow Yellow. We'd love to see more of finished projects, so why not pop over to our Yarnmanglers facebook page and add some of your own.

Why not take the opportunity to find out about the online community that calls itself Ravelry. We love Ravelry and use it constantly as a resource both for ourselves and for the shop but lots of our customers have never heard of it. If you are one of the uninitiated, here is a beginner's guide.
So now you are a member, what next?
We always have Ravelry up on the shop computer and on the tablets so you can browse patterns here and as many of them are available to buy in-store so you can you pay us for the pattern, give us your Rav details, and let us do the rest. ** warning -- you can get 'lost' on Ravelry for hours and may spend more time online than crafting! I'm sure you all remember our Honeycomb blanket pack which we launched at Wonderwool this year. We've crocheted up some sample honeycombs in different colours and sewn them together in sets of nine to show different colourways. At the moment they sitting in our window making a lovely summer display together with some crocheted bees just for fun. Later we will make seat pads for the chairs in the shop from the samples but in the meantime why not come over and take a look. The pattern and yarn packs are always available but we have a limited number of bags and stitch markers so pop over to our store page and grab a pack before we run out!
