Our products

We stock only natural pure wool for latch hooking, knitting, crocheting and weaving rugs as well as our own unique range of latch hook kits and canvas. The advantages of this sustainable fibre compared to synthetic man-made yarns are:-


  • It is easily maintained, resists soiling, repels surface spills and responds well to cleaning.

  • Non allergenic, wool is not known to cause allergy and does not promote the growth of bacteria. With microscopic scales, wool fibres can trap dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.

  • It promotes comfort and well being, with insulation properties which reduce noise, heat loss, condensation and improves indoor air quality.

  • It is safe, non slip and naturally fire resistant.

  • It is ecologically advantageous, grown naturally from a renewable source and is completely recyclable and biodegradable.

  • Durable and elastic, wool fibre can be bent 20,000 times without breaking and still have the power to recover and return to its natural shape. Quality wool rugs look good for longer.

Visit

Penzance is the perfect destination to discover the beautiful region of West Cornwall. The town, which has far reaching views over Mount's Bay from Mousehole to the Lizard, has it's own micro-climate due to the Gulf Stream which allows sub-tropical gardens to thrive. The recently renovated Gardeners House in Morrab Gardens is well worth a visit. 

There are a number of galleries and antique shops to enjoy along with many small independent shops to explore. 

The geothermal pool at The Jubilee Pool in Penzance is a unique must visit destination at the beginning of the finest promenade in Cornwall

The Ritz in Queen Street Penzance has undergone extensive renovation to restore this magnificent Art-Deco building where you will be able to enjoy a wide variety of entertainment.
