July 2025

Half way through the year…..aahhhhh.

All of those ideas at the start of the year are still in my brain and unfortunately havent made it out of there yet..

A few fabric deliveries have arrived and are safely on the shelves.

 

Muse by Three Sisters….. This is a typical 3 sisters range soft and pretty  main colours taupe, pink, acqua and white.

Palette by Tim Holtz… the next in the collection  this one is blue and teal…. I just selected a few of these from the range.

Wovens by French General…..checks in black , blue and red.

Jacquards…. These are in great neutral colours, black, red and blue   more of these to come but very happy with the first delivery.

Im sure there is more l have forgotten to list, but l will always post on Insti when new stock comes in.

Yarn

My commercial yarns have been topped up…Totem, Dreamtime, 10 ply, Jet and of course Sierra…….

Plenty of sock yarn as well.

 

Classes:

I have limited classes at the moment, its a tad frustrating to have classes with students booked in, and then they either dont show up or cancel at the last minute.

Regardless of what you do as a student, in terms of cancelling……  I still have to pay the tutor .

So when you book into a class now a non-refundable deposit will apply, and l will now have a cancellation policy.

So when you book in, write it in your diary…..and thats your commitment……

 

Glad your reading this blog……

Cheers
