And for those of you who already know how to spin, we have many types of fiber to choose from.  Some is local from our own farms and some is hand dyed.  Come in and browse.

We have yarn for all kinds of scarfs.  There are probably as many different kinds of yarn as there are uses for scarfs.  There are the warm ones, the lace ones, the lightweight ones, ones that act as a fashion accessory, soft ones, silky ones, wide ones and the list could go on.

Some of our newest yarns make up into a stylish scarf and are very simple to knit.  Lots of different colors to choice from.  Come in and see the sample scarfs and ask us about making one.

We also have Henry Paws – handmade, finger less mitts made by our own Linda.

We have beautiful hats made by Chris Alexander.  Each one has it’s own, one of a kind design.  Some are made from her reclaimed yarns – a combination of handspun alpaca,  reclaimed cashmere and silk that are handspun together.

If you are looking for a skein of yarn that will give you a lot for the money, we have Cascade Heritage Sock Yarn.  Shari made a child’s hat and still has enough left to make another hat or some mittens.  It’s a very nice yarn.

It’s clean, comfy and comes with all the mod-cons. But there’s something distinctly woolly about this hotel room.

The Hotel Pelirocco in Brighton offers a room which is bound to be cosier than others – as most of the items in it have been knitted from yarn.

The ‘do knit disturb’ sign gives a clue to what lies inside. The room has a variety of knitted accessories, including a lamp, a bedspread, toothbrush and paste along with a telephone cover and matching curtains.

Need a loom for the night? Artist Kate Jenkins spent two weeks knitting the room’s accessories… cleaning it might be a bit of a headache though

Thread and breakfast: First came plastic fruit and now… a woollen morning meal

Not content with sticking to traditional soft furnishings, the room even has its very own woven full English breakfast – but diners might have a hard time digesting this particular fry-up.

The yarn creation is the handiwork of artist Kate Jenkins, who spent two weeks crocheting each item.

Kate, who has a background in fashion and design, believes that anything can be produced with yarn.

She is one of many knitting devotees who are responsible for a resurgence in crocheting.

Far from being an activity associated with your grandmother, the hobby – much like the revival in baking – is now a cool and retro activity adopted by hipsters.

Knitting’s popularity has also spawned another stitching movement – yarnbombing – which involves ‘guerilla’ knitters brightening up statues, lampposts and trees with colourful woven creations.

Materialistic: The must-have items of a lamp and telephone could leave you feeling a little static

Sew good! Toothbrush and paste also feature in the woven hotel room

 

Creature comforts: The telephone, teapot and even a full English breakfast have all been knitted in this hotel room
