This is a handy little gadget that has been very popular with our customers. The Wool Jeanie holds a ball on a magnetic spindle, allowing it to move freely as you work. We have them in stock for £12.99. There is also a portable version, the Wrist Jeanie, for knitters on the move!

On Sunday 31st May Belper will be celebrating with the Summer Food Fayre...but of course not all the shops are food related. So whilst your browsing the stalls pop into our local independent stores. Madhandmade Designs are are a great shop for yarns, crafts and gifts. The owners live in and promote Belper and its heritage.
Ill be there on Sunday with my own design waterwheels, cut by 45 degrees.
These are being woven to be included in Belper Woollen Woods 250 event 18th to 31st July. Please feel free to pop in to add to the weaving started at Belper North Mill family day. A true Belper community exhibit.
