It got a bit lost when I posted it in the New Acquisitions thread earlier, so just in case some people who like their crewel wool and would like to stock up missed this, the lovely Hazel and Steve (and the Furry Fruitcake) at Catkin Crown Textile Studio have a sale on until midnight Christmas Eve: 15% off their beautiful Heatway Milano wool (25% if you are a subscriber). I've already been and done my bit to support these independent suppliers
PS I am in no way affiliated with this business, I just think they offer a great product and like to support small family-run craft companies like these
