Hoooked Zpagetti

 We are now selling DMC crochet products in the shop. Hoooked Zpagetti is a fun way of getting into Giant crochet. The yarn is recycled from leftovers from the T shirt industry and is 92% cotton and 8% elastane, crocheted on a 10mm crochet hook. There are 3 bag kits in the range. This is the Lucca bag kit.





  
Peggy, one of our regular customers, is the first one to finish the Milano bag and bring it in to show it. She customised hers with a vintage button fastening 

We now also stock the DMC Natura range of cottons.  These are a 4ply weight and suitable for knitting or crochet and sell at £3.50 for  a 50g ball. There is a free pattern leaflet too with 5 patterns to make in Natura.

 These are the first 5 colours we have in stock at the moment

Rosie is helping me out in the shop for work experience every Wednesday during the school holidays. We have challenged ourselves to learn something new every week. This week we learnt a new granny square design from this book  Granny Squares by Barbara Wilder, Melanie Sturm and Stephanie Gohr.

And a  scenic shot for you of the Durham countryside today taken from the Hounsgill Tea room on the C2C Cycle route.Nice to see white fluffy clouds instead of black ones.
