Our new website - we're getting there!

Building a new website is a lengthy and quite tedious process, there seems to be endless decisions on the general look of the site, whether it is eye catching and most importantly efficient and easy to use. Then there are the endless array of photos needed to support the stock for sale. Still it is good news because we are getting there, slowly but surely. I just love our new 'look' and design - I am sure you will be impressed when you see it too.

For the moment we have a holding page showing our new Cornish Wools logo,contact details and there is a link to the blog where you will be able to find out what is happening at Cornish Wools.

Right now, in the Cornish Wools gallery shop our selection of knitting wools is continuing to grow. We currently stock, Sirdar Crofter DK, Sirdar Eco DK, Sirdar Escape DK, Lang Merino DK, Lang Superfine Alpaca, Lang Mille Colori. And then there is the gorgeously soft Sublime Cashmere merino silk aran which is currently featured in this week's 'Peoples Friend' where the latest knitting pattern is a man's jumper.

Expected into the shop on Tuesday next week will be our very first order of Bergere de France, we have splurged out rather on a vast selection of beautiful shades in the following yarns,Angel, Magic, Ideal, Ciboulette, Caline, Cotton Fifty and Jaspee. We have also ordered a selection of Magazines and knitting patterns and Baby knitting Kits to support all of these yarns. So on the Bergere de France front there will be lots to choose from later on next week.

Ethnic yarns are very much a favourite with our customers, we are currently stocking Sari Silk yarn, Banana fibre yarn, Sari Silk ribbon yarn all in lots of exciting colour ranges.

Our range of needles and knitting accessories continues to expand and shortly we will be stocking Knit Pro needles and lots of other knitting goodies.

So watch this space - our website will be up and running soon and if you can make a visit to our Cornish Wools Knitting Gallery in Perranuthnoe then it will be well worth making the trip. Bring your boots and the dog and while you are in this extremely beautiful corner of Cornwall you can not only treat yourself to some gorgeous yarn but you can take a walk along the coastal path with all its stunning views of St Michael's Mount and to the East Cudden Point and The Lizard.

So do come and find us in Perranuthnoe or give us a call if you have any yarn queries or if you would like to order yarn, we will be very pleased to hear from you.

So until next time - 'Happy knitting'
