The Yarn Circle
5
REASONS TO
SHOP LOCAL
It’s the only way
to get a real
feel for the yarn
before you buy
Supporting local
businesses keeps
the high street
vibrant and fun
Local shops
often have
exclusive
products you
won’t find
online
You won’t find
any better
crochet experts
than yarn
shop owners!
The community
around local
yarn shops is
a great way to
make friends
The best way to discover a
new yarn is to give it a squish
at your local yarn shop. This
month, we’ve picked three
of the brightest yarns we
could find!
TOP 3
YARNS
Ella Rae Rustic Lace
For a touch of luxury in your
next crochet project, get your
hands on this super-soft lace-
weight yarn that would make a
sumptuous shawl or pretty little
detailed hat. Even with a rustic
feel and slightly flecked tweed
look to this yarn, colours such
as green, blue and yellow really
shine out in this lambswool and silk blend.

WYS Signature 4-ply
If you’ve used West Yorkshire
Spinners Signature 4-ply
before, we can pretty much
guarantee you will be as big
a fan of this yarn as we are!
In time for Christmas this
year, the fabulous team has
put out a brand-new deep
red shade, Cherry Drop,
which complements its range
perfectly, and is great all year
round – not just for Christmas!

King Cole Bamboo
Cotton DK
What a lovely yarn to work
with and one of our favourite
cottons for accessories!
Good quality and very
smooth, it slides effortlessly
over the hook and has great
stitch definition. The soft,
luxurious feel coupled with
the vividly bright shades is a
winning combination.
