Woolly Dreams - Woolly Rebellion newsletter #36

By Katharine • Issue #36 • View online

Hi Crafters,

If you bought something in April’s BUNDLE event, thank you so much. I think it was the most orders I’ve ever had in one day.

Plus, it meant new customers coming directly through the Woolly Rebellion website - so we planted some trees too!

It’s felt like a busy few weeks, I’ve been back at Hungerford market, I’ve been to the dentist and had my hair cut. Positively hectic!

I’m a knitter and a nerd. You can follow along with my woolly journey on Instagram at KnittedByNails, and my favourite crafty supplies are for sale in the Woolly Rebellion shop.

Knitflixing

I love a good self-striping yarn and I know many of you do too, but have you ever wondered how it’s done on a commercial scale? I came across this video a few days ago and even though it’s in German, it’s still fascinating to see the process.

Skip to the end...

I’m eagerly awaiting news of the next shop update from Hannah at The Corner of Craft - she’s been beading guinea pig stitch markers and I must have one!

Now that Woolly Rebellion has its own website, I can give you all a discount to say thank you for subscribing and being a part of my new venture. Use the code WOOLLYREBELS for 10% off an order via the Woolly Rebellion website.

I love hearing from you about your projects, challenges, finished objects, or new yarn purchases. Tag your makes with #woollyrebels to help me find you. Or you can get in touch via email, Twitter or Instagram.

Until next time…

take care and happy crafting!

Katharine :)
