Indie Quarter feature




Many thanks to the wonderful Jenny Hudson who visited the shop on Friday to have a good preview of the shop before the doors are open to the public, to take some snaps and to ask us some questions about the yarn, the gallery and the workshops for an article she has put together on IndieQuarter.com .


We must also say a massive thanks to Jenny as she very kindly brought us some flowers for the shop to wish us all good luck for the opening.

You can read the article Here and please make sure you browse the rest of the Indie Auarter blog - it's full of fab craft ideas, articles, features, vids and much, much more.


And don't forget... WE OPEN TOMORROW!! @ 10am - be there and get discount on your lovely purchases all day :o)

Nearly opening time....

Everything is finally coming together at the shop and we are on the brink of opening our doors!!

Today the Purl City Yarns sign has been fitted above the shop window, we're really chuffed to bits with how it looks!



And the shop is nearly all laid out, just a few more bits of furniture and stock to go out on the shelves and we'll be right to go!!

Schoppel Wolle

We've had another big delivery of gorgeous Zauberball and Lace Ball by Schoppel Wolle this week, those Germans sure know how to give us fantastic quality yarns in an amazing and unique range of colourways.

Which one is your favourite?....I think mine is 'Crazy Pumpkin' !



Here are a few photo samples of some of the other gorgeous colourways that were in the order...

Tills, flooring and, of course, yarn!



It has been a busy week for Purl City Yarns.

The Natural Dye Studio delivery finally turned up (delays were not due to Amanda but rather the laid back courier) and it is absolutely gorgeous.....pictures and more info to follow.

The shop now has phone lines............could give you the phone number but can't remember it! And anyhow, we've not plugged the phones in yet!

The computerised till and back office system were installed on Thursday.  Had a verrry long day on Friday, training up to use the system and I not sure how much I have retained of it all (do you know that feeling when you are working in a very warm room and you can't keep your eyes open?) but we will manage!

A massive delivery came from King Cole this week............it took ages to check it all off the invoice. So we now have a lot of stock of good quality yet decently priced merino wool in 4ply up to chunky, loads of bamboo cotton and a lot from the Comfort range. We also have stock of Riot which is King Cole's new Noro-esque yarn.

We are expecting to take delivery of our Manos/Brittany/Artesano order any day now and more orders have been placed both for UK brands and for stuff further afield. We will keep you updated.

At the shop today, there are chaps fitting flooring and stair carpets. Tomorrow, the burglar alarm is being activated.......and later this week the security grills are going on the back windows......we can't have people making off with the precious stock now can we?!

Hopefully by the end of next week we will have shelves and some of the other fixtures and fittings sorted!
