What's coming up for Eldenwood Craft
The first few months of 2026 will see me working hard on stock for The Big Flock (May 16-17, Bristol - tickets now available). I'm aiming to bring project bags in new prints, a small curated selection of hand dyed yarn and some little accessories to add to your knitting and crochet tool collection. I'll also be working on some new spring themed project bags for my shop, and as always your project bag orders too.
