Limited stock of commercial yarns in stash quantities also stocked.  Varies from week to week.

Spinning and weaving starting soon!

If you are a  spinner and would like to sit in the store and ply your craft (LOL), we would welcome you Tuesday to Sundays for an hour or two preferably between 11 am and 3.30 pm.  If you would like to sell your product at the same time, we can arrange that for you also.  EFTPOS facilities available. Bring your own wheel or we have a couple of Ashford Traditionals available.
