RETAILER FOCUS Craftyangel stocks a wide range of R O W A N yarns and books which are available online or in-store. craftyangel.co.uk C R A F T YA N G E L CRAFTYANGEL Initially Craftyangel focused just on fabric, patterns and haberdashery…until she came across ‘A Story in Yarn’ by Dee Hardwicke and the rest as they say is history! Angela has gone on to stock a wide range of yarns exclusively from Rowan including the gorgeous and extremely popular Felted Tweed, Big Wool, Cotton Cashmere, Kidsilk Haze and the beautiful Moordale, but her personal (current) favourite is our Alpaca Classic. “I absolutely loved the colour palette when I saw the range, and without hesitation I purchased the whole palette! “said Angela. It is Craftyangel’s ultimate dream to one day become a Rowan flagship store. Craftyangel also hosts a number of creative workshops for fabric and yarn-based crafts. Classes for dressmaking, quilting, free-motion embroidery and bag making have all been very popular but Angela has recently seen a significant increase in the number of people wanting to learn to crochet or brush up on dusty yarn-based skills they once had. This has culminated in Angela running the amazing ‘Homage to the Granny Square’ course taught by the extremely talented Sue Maton, who travels to the store from Norfolk (where she lives) to teach the class (See page 40 to learn more). Angela takes great care to choose and use tutors who are experts in their field and who are as passionate about sharing their skills in a thoughtful and relaxing way. Craftyangel is open online 24/7 and the shop is currently open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10-4pm. Angela adds, “I want everyone to experience the joy of making something, whether it be the first time you’ve dared to sit at a sewing machine, pick up a crochet hook or are building on your knowledge and experience as a seasoned sewer or knitter. There’s something here for everyone” Whether you are sewing at home or spending time with Craftyangel in one of the creative classes, workshops or social sewing sessions - it’s about sharing and enjoying our passion - go on and make something unique xx  28 Newsletter April 2019 | Spring Summer Newsletter April 2019 | Spring Summer 29
