What’s New

As some of you may or may not know

I have been dipping my creative toes into

the world of Crochet...and I must say I love it

but have found it difficult to find some

of the different yarns that they

use in some of the patterns online

and even harder to the supplies I need

here in Kingaroy or even Australia

so over the last few months i have doing some

research...and the most exciting part is

we are Now Stacking Lion Brand Yarn and

Bernat Handicrafter yarns

as you can see in the pictures in the Album on Facebook ...we have only a few colours

but I will be getting more in

I have mainly been looking at Cotton at this

point as this is what myself and few others

have been chasing so if you are

looking for something lets us know

and you never know we might just be

able to get it for you :) :)

We have some other Brands arriving to and we hope to have a

fantastic selection by the time our winter Rolls around

Supplies have started sell so get in fast so you don’t

miss out on some of these fantastic Yarns :)
