Looking for something to do this September? We’ve got all the knitty goings on!
British Wool Weekend:
7-8 September
British Wool Weekend is quickly approaching, and after working hard on our British wool special, the LK team are VERY excited. This annual event is a huge celebration of British farmers, and the wool they produce. Keen crafters are being coaxed from every corner of the country to join in the jubilation, and whether you’re an advanced knitter or still a novice, there is no doubt you will have a whale of a time. Hear the fascinating story of British wool first hand from the brilliant Erika Knight who will be there all weekend hosting lectures, and answering all of your knitting queries. British Wool Weekend will be held at The Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate. For tickets or more information, call 07790391142, or visit www.britishwool.net
