Dear customers and friends!  
 
This February/March we here were already blessed with an early glimpse of Spring. The daffodils are all in full bloom, as is our first Rhododendron.
Only timely for the new Spring and Summer yarns in bright colours to come in, together with new books and ideas for tank tops instead of wrist warmers!
 
It's an exciting time of the year for clean-ups of the past and many new beginnings. The most exciting event for us is the upcoming visit of Maggie Jackson end of March. Take part in the hype and sign up for her workshops! We reduced the price in February.
 
Thank you for your ongoing support!
