As lockdown eases we are (cautiously) optimistic about new events and workshops!

Manchester

Starting in the autumn we’ll be taking bookings for some exciting new workshops at our studios here in Altrincham.

Sunnybank Mills

If you are across the Pennines, you can also book onto one of our awesome Introduction to Natural Dyeing courses at the fabulous Sunnybank Mills in Farsley, just a stone’s throw from Leeds. It has a lovely new workspace (as well as a beautiful gallery, shop and more) and I’ll be looking forward to giving you an introduction to the wonderful world of natural dyeing.

Bookings can be made directly with the Mill and there are currently two dates available, either October 16th or October 24th.

More dates to come!

If you would like to know more about upcoming workshops, please do sign up to our newsletter below or, for specific questions, drop me an email at the usual address and I’ll be happy to help!

(And keep your eyes peeled as we have more events and dates coming soon!).

Please add me to your newsletter list and keep me up to date with the latest updates and offers!

Spread the love with a share!

It's Holiday Time!

Last posting dates:

We’ll be posting those stocking fillers and last-minute gifts (we’ve all been there!) for orders placed before 12.30pm on 23rd December. However, last posting date is 21st December so it may be that orders may not arrive in time for the ‘big day’. If you need a last-minute gift or you’re not sure what to get we do have gift vouchers in the shop!

Christmas holiday

As it’s Christmas we are then taking a bit of a break and the shop will be closed until 4th Jan 2026.You may still place orders (simply close this window with the ‘X’ or escape to return to the shop) but we will not start dispatching orders until 4th January.

Thank you!

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support and custom this year. Your support for small businesses like ours is very much appreciated.

Last but definitely not least, we wish you all a peaceful and restful festive break and hope to be able to say thank you in person in 2026!

Love, Debbie & Pete xx
