Head over to Fibre Block Party on Instagram and catch us chatting about our products and general yarny-ness! I'll be going live at 2.30 pm BST with my FBP special, Celebrate!  I loved creating this colourway so much that I ended up putting together the beginnings of a Fusion Brights collection!

Yorkshire Yarn Fest - November

Virtual Yarn Shows I'm sure I'm not the only one that keeps thinking about all the plans they'd made for 2020.

Last day of Beyond K&S shopping weekend but ...

 ... shopping festivities continue!  Thank you so much for your orders. The support you show my little business is so, so heartwarming!
