There’s lots of planning going on at the Craft Room for the Swiss Yarn Festival on April 14th to 16th where I have a stall. I’m quite excited to be a part of that. All the info and tickets are available here: Swiss Yarn Festival.

At the moment demand for group classes is very low, hence there are no dates published. If you want to do a class together with a friend or friends then please get in touch and I can set that up for you.

Covid is still about too so, if you feel unwell please don’t come to class. For the full policy have a read of the safety policy and terms and conditions too.
