Ello’ April, and all your goodness. We’ve had wind and rain, a bit of sun, and lots of orders of squishy yarns. This month we have some new cottons, chenille, and a sneaky yarn pack that’s launched from designer Rosina Plane… shall we take a look?
Spotlights in the Warehouse
Introducing Rico Cotton 4 ply, a luxurious 100% cotton yarn that has been mercerised to create a smooth and even surface while enhancing durability. Perfect for a diverse range of knitting and crochet projects that demand dimension and a polished stitch pattern, this yarn is available in a gorgeous palette of 24 colours, from the sweetness of Strawberry to the calming shade of Eucalyptus. Shop the yarn HERE.
Yarnsmiths Chenille DK launched this month (woohoo!!) with 40 fabulous shades. It’s the little sister to the Chunkier version, but with the same softness and texture. We also collaborated with designer Sam Sabido for the launch, to create a gorgeous free downloadable pattern. Shop the range HERE, see the pattern HERE.
To celebrate 10 years of the iconic Scheepjes Whirl, three limited edition Birthday Cakes have arrived, bringing instant impact to your shelves. Each Whirl Birthday Cake blends creamy tones into beautifully balanced gradients that unfold as you crochet or knit. The limited edition colourways Cutie Pie 797, Berry on Top 798 and Piece of Cake 799 hold an extra treat. Each cake shares matching inner and outer shades, so using any two or all three together can create one continuous flowing gradient, perfect for larger projects such as blankets, mandalas and summer dresses.

Let’s talk about SOCKS. We have received the newest addition in sock books from Malabrigo, and this book is glorious for you knitters. It contains 11 patterns, ranging from detailed stitches, to simple designs, all using the Malabrigo range, Ultimate Sock. You can see the gorgeous colours shown, and knitted up, which helps inspire you for your next sock project. If you are looking for a challenge, or simply some sock inspiration, this is the book for you. Shop the book HERE, and the yarn HERE.
Next up we have the newest Rosina Plane CAL! Inspired by the rural farming landscape of Norfolk, this 6-part CAL uses the overlay mosaic crochet technique and is finished with a coordinating envelope border to neatly hide loose ends. There will be three colourways to choose from: Arable and Dairy using Special DK, and Organic using mainly Special Aran with Wool, with a pop of Highland Heathers Aran. There will also be two Yarnsmiths packs available, using Create DK, which shows the design in pinks and greens, and another using teals and oranges. The versatile design looks great with cute scarecrows, tractors and sheep! The CAL runs from 15th May 2026 for six weeks! Get your yarn pack HERE.
That’s it for this month! Head over to our new combined Fabric and Needlecraft post!
