Christmas arrived early in the studio as we held the first of our range of Christmas workshops. It was a riot of red & green fabric, of gingham & ribbon and of chat & laughter. The perfect start to the Christmas season.
What are you planning to make this Christmas?

There are many lovely yarns available to buy, but what could be better than one you have dyed yourself?
