| | | | Hello! We've got a few quick bits of news to share with you. |
Threads| We're now on Threads! It's the new social media platform from Instagram. We'll be sharing updates from there just like we do on our current platforms. |

|
|  | Patterns| This year's pattern is available to download if you missed it. The fingerless mitts are available in a knitted or crochet version for £1.50. You get a downloadable PDF. The money goes to Macmillan Cancer Support. |
| |
| | Merchandise| Our cotton bags are now available to order online, if you forgot to pick them up at the show. They're the same price - £5.00 for a tote bag, £8.00 for the notions bag, or £12.00 for both. You just need to pay for postage. We can only ship within the UK. |

|
| Wool Gathering retreats We've been thinking about ways we can grow, without adding a new festival. The calendar is already absolutely chock full of them and we don't want to overstretch ourselves.
|
Instead, we're considering adding new mini wool gatherings. These would be retreats
based on fibre crafts, where we get together in accommodation and run some workshops focussing on specific skills.
|
| Each time we'd focus on a different fibre craft and have different workshops and tutors. For example, one retreat might be about crochet with a workshop on Tunisian crochet, and another might be based on needle-felting with a beginner's workshop. |
We'd also allow plenty of time to sit around and work on your current project in the company of like-minded people.
|
| If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, please fill in our survey. We want your thoughts before we make any big decisions. |

| Next year
We're still in discussions with the venue about next year's date, but we'll be in touch when we know them.
