Country LivingBedecked has made an appearance in Country Living magazine again; this time featured in their series on small rural businesses. We had a lot of fun trying to make the sheep behave for Tara Fisher, the photographer, who then went on to surprise quite a few unsuspecting shop customers, clicking away with her camera.
Colinette Yarns Just before Christmas, we took in our first delivery of Colinette yarns. This Welshpool-based company is renowned for its stunning colours and textures, and the shop looked like a vivid jewel for a couple of days. A week later It looked like a raiding party had galloped through, leaving just the remnants behind. We have now re-stocked to include eight shades of their fabulous Giotto yarn, a beautiful and versatile lustrous cotton/viscose ribbon.
Gift Babywear Old fashioned wool shops always used to sell babywear, so last Autumn, we thought that we would try it out too. The softest, soft teddies and bunnies arrived in the shop from Trousselier in France, followed by cheeky baby tee shirts from Name Clothing in London, dainty sleepsuits from Holly's in Denmark and soft leather bootees from Starchild. Local company 'Millie and Me' added the finishing touch with beautifully hand knitted blankets, hats and mitts. Customers have given us the thumbs up, so we are now searching for new baby gifts to add to the range.
Sock yarn Sock yarn continues to be a great success. The jazzy colours and 'magic' patterns have appealed enormously to customers wanting to knit something fun and practical for when they go walking in the Black Mountains.
Lots of buttons We've been buying lots of new buttons. Many are in natural materials - shell, horn and wood and they are all well-designed, look great and are in a wide variety of colours and sizes. Why not take a look.
