Current Issue - Yarn 10
We have winter all wrapped up.
Fancy wrapping yourself in something warm this winter? We have a collection of cardigans for you to choose from, a body warming mini to wear over tights, some hiking socks, an irresistable hug, a cool bag to carry your winter woolies in, some styling celtic cabled gloves to keep your hands warm this winter, plus more.
We have reviews of the best books, stories about the places that people have been and seen, and the events that are going to happen (Alice Springs Beanie Festival, The Bendigo Sheep & Wool show, Jazzy Tree Jumpers in July) plus the Dates and Events Calendar, and Stitch & Bitch guides to keep your social calendar busy over winter.
