Shops We Love: Avicraft Wool

Packed with yarns from Sirdar, Rico Design, King Cole, Louisa Harding and others, Avicraft is staffed by enthusiastic crocheters who are passionate about their craft and their products. “We have a massive stock of yarns to suit all budgets and there is nowhere else around with such variety,” says owner Sharon Newman. “You can get a drink from our machine and join the people who are always sitting round the table knitting or crocheting!” Avicraft runs weekly workshops providing personalised help with projects, as well as two craft clubs. This year is also Avicraft’s tenth birthday. “We’re launching six months of celebrations on Yarn Shop Day in May with an all day workshop, lots of special offers and a Yarn ‘Tasting’ Evening sponsored by Rico,” says Sharon.
