🧶 Did you know that knitting and crochet could be good for your happiness? ❤️

As the evenings draw in and we start reaching for those cosy blankets and warm cups of tea, why not pick up your knitting needles or crochet hook too?

There's actually some lovely research behind the benefits of our favourite hobbies!

A survey of more than 3,500 knitters found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they reported feeling. In fact, four out of five participants who experienced depression said knitting helped lift their mood.

And it's easy to see why!

The gentle, repetitive rhythm of knitting or crochet can have a wonderfully calming effect, helping us slow down, switch off from the busyness of everyday life and enjoy a little time just for ourselves.

And the best bit? At the end of it all, you have something lovely to show for your time! 🧶

So, whether you're casting on a new jumper, working on a granny square blanket, making something special for Christmas or simply enjoying a few rows of your favourite project, remember that you're doing something good for yourself too.

A little creativity, a little calm and a whole lot of happiness! ❤️

What's currently on your needles or hook? We'd love to know!

Love from all of us at Your Yarn 🧶

We have been getting lots of new lines in stock recently and have been so busy trying to fit them in the shop that we haven't had chance to let you know!

We have expanded the colour range of Stylecraft Specials, and extended the Stylecraft Highland Heathers DK with new colours as well as get some in Aran weight.

If you're after some sparkle for Christmas, come and look at the King Cole Glitz now in stock.

Want to make a teddy for a child for Christmas? Try our King Cole teddy pattern with Truffle yarn. It truly is so cuddly and would make a perfect gift.

We have also now expanded our range to include 3 lines of Super Chunky weight yarns, one of which is suitable for felting. They're great for making cosy blankets to keep you warm through winter.

So if you're ready to start a new project, come in for a visit and look at all our new pretties!! See you soon!

CALLING ALL CRAFTERS... Alex here.

Many of our customers so far have heard my tale about the blanket I started when I was pregnant with my daughter and has been one of those projects that kept getting shoved to the back of the cupboard. It was a new skill project of trying a knitting loom. I forgot how to use the loom. I lost the loom hook. It hurt my hands. There were many reasons for the delay in completing this project!

Well guess what?.. I finally finished it! It's took 17 years!!! And we are certainly in no need for a pram blanket anymore, as my daughter is about to turn 17! But my daughter suggested making it into a pillow instead. Well I tried a square pillow, but the ends weren't the same size 🫣 so here is the sausage pillow that has took 17 years to complete! 🤣

So, this is my reminder to all of you to never give up on learning something new. It may take an hour, it may take days, it may even take almost 2 decades like me!! It may also, like mine, not end up the prettiest achievement, but don't give up! You've got this!!! If I can do it, so can you.

And remember, my Mum and I are both here to help and support you in your journey. ❤️

Well this little know fact of knitting has certainly got me thinking!!!! How long were those legs to warrant 14m long socks!!!!! I am sure they were beautiful. Can you find a picture of them and post in the comments?

What's the longest thing you've ever knitting (or crocheted) yourself?
