As featured in Let’s Knit…
The Yarn Cafe are lucky enough to have two mentions in the December 2011 edition of Let’s Knit magazine (pages 10 and 37). The first on page 10 features a picture of the mini skein grab bag (10 skeins) that we stock from Dye Spin Knit as part of their feature on creating hexapuffs. We have donated a pack of these to their competition.
The second feature is on suitable gifts for Christmas and gives details of our mini sock blocker kit. This includes a mini sock blocker created by Sunflower Swifts, a pattern from Literally Yarn and a mini ball of Opal sock yarn.
