About Us
As a relatively new knitter, I was always on the lookout for local yarn suppliers. Although I do purchase some specialist yarns on the internet, nothing compares to seeing the yarn in real life - being able to feel the textures and see the colours as they actually appear, rather than in a photograph.
Although there are a couple of yarn shops in the area, I hadn't been able to find one that stocked anything different or special. This sowed the seed in my mind that one day, I would set up a little yarn shop of my own and eventually sell yarns that weren't readily available in mainstream shops.
By total co-incidence and much sooner than I originally wanted, I came across a little shop in Mumbles that was to let. I told myself that if it was still available, it was meant to be and I called the number on the window. Unfortunately, there was somebody else interested in the shop, so I left my telephone number and thought nothing else of it. When I received a call to say that I could have the shop if I wanted to, I agreed straight away!
Since then, I have been working very hard to get the shop open for business. Half of the shop will be dedicated to knitting and the other half will be a "Coffee Corner" which I hope will be a great success. I am going to be stocking some yarns that are at the moment only available online, which is very exciting, but I will also be stocking the mainstream yarns that are so popular with knitters today.
I take orders for and knit custom made hats, so I am hoping I will still have the time to pick the needles up myself. I also enjoy knitting socks, baby items and toys, but hats are my favourite!
