The temperature regulating properties of wool means you can wear it year-round ❤️

Wearing pure wool will keep you as cool as this gorgeous sheep - and that's all thanks to the temperature-regulating properties of this wonderful natural fibre and the farmers who rear them 🐑🐑

Beautiful breed-specific yarns for knitting and crocheting from made exclusively from British sheep, all spun under one roof in Cornwall, sold in the UK and Internationally to spread the message of crafting with 'real wool'.

Knitting has been shown to have a number of benefits for mental health, including reducing anxiety, tension and depression, improving focus, and promoting relaxation. The repetitive motions involved in knitting can be calming and meditative 🧶 🧶

We do need rain... but, it seems it is always on weekends when so many community events are planned.

Nova Scotian weather has been awfully hard to work with this market season and tomorrow looks no better!

With 30-40mm in the forecast we have had to cancel the June edition of the Four Points Flea scheduled for tomorrow June 28th.

Apologies to all our lovely vendors and everyone who adding us to their weekend plans!

See you in July! (Hopefully🫤)
