If you are an experienced Knitter or have just taken up knitting we have quality yarn by the ball for you to knit.

Sirdar is probably the best known quality yarn available and we have an extensive range of Pattern Leaflets and Yarns including

• Great fashion yarns - New Fizz (bits of Fluff and Ribbon - great for hats and scarves), WOW! (Soft Chenille type), Funky Fur, Funky Fur Magic, Fresco, Boa (a Light and Soft Eyelash Yarn), Frenzy (a mix of Funky Fur and New Fizz) , Dune

(really great for summer tops) and Foxy (realistic animal colours fur yarn). Tuscany Fashion Yarn gives a sophisticated look especially for Ladies Tops & Accessories, Firefly and Illusion are both Ladder Type Yarns which gives a great look - especially for accessories. For a bit of fun why not try Medici or Vegas - both have a bit of sparkle which gives a great effect.

• Country Style Double Knit (DK) & 4 ply with 15% wool.

• Snowflake Chunky , perfect for winter.

• Great Multi-Colours in the luxuriously soft fleece of Snowflake Chunky Magic.

• For kids in winter try Aran Supersoft, Confetti, Snuggly Snowflake DK and Snuggly Bubbly DK

• The Luxurious Silky Look DK for that glamorous night out (or night in).

We do not have a catalogue as it would go out of date very quickly - it would also be VERY large. Everything we supply is on this website. We are also unable to get shade cards for the yarns - these are difficult to get out of the manufacturers and are too expensive (in both money and time) for us to produce.
