There are many lovely yarns available to buy, but what could be better than one you have dyed yourself?
Join Debbie Tomkies of DT Craft & Design for a dyeing taster session and see how easy it is to create fabulous, one of a kind yarns. With Debbie's expert guidance you'll dye enough yarn to make a lovely lacy scarf. Debbie will be providing everything you'll need and you can take away one of her designer scarf patterns to knit a scarf for you or for a friend - a perfect Christmas gift!
The response to my invitation earlier this year to come to the studio to make bracelets to send to a charity working with Russian orphans was wonderful. So many of you came with your families and made bracelets, just a small gift to send half way round the world but sending a bit of love from Sale with it.
Orphan Outreach delivered 35,000 bracelets, yes 35,000. Imagine our bracelets with thousands of others being greeted with smiles like these.
So thank you, for helping, for caring and for being part of Craft Hope's wonderful Project for Orphan Outreach.
