I am having a yarn open day next Sunday, 22 August, between 2 and 7pm.

There will be tea, coffee and cake!

Bunnyt will be pre-launching some of her patterns (see above) before the official launch in September.

Apologies for any inconvenience while my website is being revamped at long last - I have not been updating products. It will be worth the wait! The look won’t change much (I still love Helena’s work) but how the website works (specially for me!) will be much improved.
