Knit Together!

In association with the Keep Yarn on our Streets campaign

Autumn is now arriving, and in lots of ways life has started to return to normal - we’ve certainly loved being able to visit our favourite local yarn shops again. If you’re near Hampshire, we’ve rounded up a selection of shops packed with fine wools and accessories, plus we’ve chatted to Laili from Emily Foulds and Mia from naturally dyed yarn brand Brambles & Me. We also got to know the delightful Needle Niche knitters, and Daniel Ball from the Army Flying Museum, who’s hoping you can help out with some knitted medals for an upcoming art installation. And turn the page to read about a world-record attempt to create the longest knitted bunting ever made, currently on display in Devon.

Please do tell us about any shop, club or charity recommendations you may have, and remember to send in your community stories and charity knit pics. We can’t wait to hear from you!
