Summer, where the heck are you?

Not to complain as a soggy summer often brings more knitting and crocheting & less time in the garden BUT a good dose of Vitamin D is always welcomed for the mind and soul. To help with some sunny vibes we bring some fabulous projects to get hooked on.

Cotton Drops is more than a t.shirt yarn is a tubular, tape style yarn. Lightweight and very slightly stretchy, this chunky-weight yarn will work especially well for accessories such as  bags and home décor projects like cushion covers & baskets. The knit tube construction creates these characteristic squidgy stitches, making this yarn perfect for projects where the stitch is the feature like amigurumi, pillows, cabling, blankets and more!

These chunky crochet baskets are perfect for a pop of colour for the home and make great storage for more yarn! Designed by Jellybean Junction they are a firm favourite project! (Spot the nestling Marshmallow Pies)

Cotton is such a versatile yarn, especially popular for warmer temperatures in lightweight garments for ladies and children. Our 100% Cotton has been favourited for granny square blankets. With our spectrum of bright and pastel rainbow shades in the range including a much requested Black & Brown shades, it certainly has come up trumps as a popular and affordable double knit cotton choice.

NEW Sugar Spun is a soft versatile DK weight yarn perfect for experienced crafters and beginners alike, making it a delightful addition to any project, be it a snuggly sweater or a charming crochet shawl for chillier times.

Crafted with a comforting blend of 80% Acrylic and 20% Wool, each 100g ball provides an impressive 300m of yarn, ensuring plenty for your creations. This lightly brushed yarn is available in 8 shades each a colourful explosion of softness. I'm smitten with this yarn and this simple sweater design with Sugar Spun adding a 'bit of something extra' insert chef's kiss here!

Chenilles are a big hit still this season, our Jellybaby Chunky has proved a market leader trending with bright colours and a glitter version it has given this range a great following of admirers. We recently launched Jellybaby Dust which has a subtle fleck to it. Check out this cute little fella from StitchyDragon Creates worked in Bluetiful and Cygnet DK Denim
