Description

  At Skeins we can provide you with all your knitting and crochet requirements.  Choose from our selection of wools and yarns, either hand dyed or undyed for you to dye yourself. Plus we have our own range of patterns designed to go with our yarns.

Should you be new to knitting or returning to it and require help or advice we are always available to help.  Carole worked as a hand knitter for Sirdar and King Cole yarns.


We are always looking to increase the variety of yarn types held and hopefully in 2009 will be stocking several more British yarns, some which are produced locally.

 

NEWS

The Skeins Studio is open for business - opening times are Thursday, Saturday and Sunday 10 -3 each day.

(Please check the events page or phone incase we are at another event)

We are pleased to announce that we have now taken delivery of stock from Bergere de France, Artisano, Brittany needles, Debbie Bliss, Noro and Aracunia.  Although we have only a limited range at present we are hoping to increase this as we are asked for various ranges. SIRDAR - we are hoping to get our first order from Sirdar at the beginning of May.

 

We have also got a small selection from GREEN EYED MONSTERS.  These are truly individual yarns with some being both hand dyed then hand spun plus they are produced locally.  It is nice to find talented people who are eager to share their products with others.

COURSES

Already there have been requests for courses and we are looking to invite some very talented people in to run them. 

Suggestions so far have been for beginners crochet, basic knitting and spinning but we would always welcome any other ideas.  If you are interested then contact us or check out the events page for details.
