Madeira Avalon Fix

Avalon Fix is a fantastic stabiliser from Madeira. It is self-adhesive, water-soluble, and non-woven. It's on a roll, and we can cut it in 25cm lengths or more.

Marina has had a little play with it, and machine embroidered a couple of flowers. One was on navy georgette, and the other straight onto the stabiliser. The excess stabiliser was removed, and the the flowers were placed in warm water to dissolve the stabiliser.

Oddments Needed

Do you have any little oddments of yarn? An army of Twiddlemuff-ers is looking for all those little bits and pieces. From fancy yarns, to the more prosaic, almost all can be worked into Twiddlemuffs.

If you have oddments you don't need, please bring it to the shop, and we can pass it on to crafters helping those with Alzheimer's. The finished Twiddlemuffs will be given to Alzheimer's Society Isle of Man.

Batik Fat Quarters

We have beautiful autumnal fat quarter bundles. There's 5 fat quarter batiks in each pack, and they are tied up with ribbon. A wonderful gift for you, or a friend.

We also have jelly rolls.

Knit and Natter

 

Knit and Natter starts at 2.30pm this Saturday. All are welcome, not just knitters.

Twiddle Muffs

"Alzheimer's Society (IOM) is calling to all knitters and crocheters out there to make Twiddle Muffs for people living with dementia across the Isle of Man. They are particularly needed in Nobles and Ramsey Cottage Hospitals, but also anywhere someone needs one. Lesley and Claire, our two support workers, will make sure they go to where they're most needed. Because of infection control, Twiddle Muffs are given to individuals, not shared and not re-used - so the more we can get, the better.

For the pattern, and more information, check out their facebook page.
