ALPACA PARADE

Bright colours in easy-to-hook stripes make this wrap a breeze to both stitch and wear. Even the Alpacas look impressed, and perhaps a little bit proud. After all, we used their fleece to make it!

SOFT SHOE

FEELING WAVY

This beautiful ripply jumper is full of exciting textures and rich colours. Just wait – we bet it will have all your hooky friends saying, “I need to make that too!”

BIGGEST BUNDLE

Spread out on this extra-large, extra-soft striped blanket. Pop it on the ground for a day in the sun or on your bed for a timeless, warm creation to snuggle into.
