Wonderwool Wales 2010

Over the last month we've had a very busy time, preparing for and attending Wonderwool 2010 in Builth Wells. Wonderwool was a complete success, and we enjoyed meeting all our customers and fellow traders. Many Thanks to the organisers for putting on an amazing show, yet again.


If you missed out on the show, there's a few pictures on the Atomic Knitting website and we've put some of our new products on the website this weekend. Our new products include McAnaraks handmade resin buttons. These beautiful vibrant buttons are very unusual and unique and complement any project. There's still a few let, so buy early to avoid disappointment.




Just Arrived - handmade buttons by McAnaraks. 
Beautiful, vibrant, colourful buttons handmade in the Highlands of Scotland.


There are also new crochet markers added and a new size of stitch marker, 5mm, which has the added benefit of being on snag free rings. These designs are limited in number!


Wholesale - we have some new wholesale deals in our online wholesale shop, including purchasing just dangle free markers and snag free markers.






      
  Stitch Markers         Crochet Markers    Snag Free Lace Markers

The snag free marker 
These are perfect for large projects where you need quite a few markers and are especially good for lace yarns. As you can see, there's absolutely nothing to catch on the yarn. The markers are available in three sizes at the moment and a few different colours that you can mix and match.


 Our yarn and craft website with all original stitch markers and accessories is celebrating it's 6th Birthday this month and we'll have something very special for all our valued customers :-) More details in the next week.

Many Thanks for your continued support!
Best Wishes

Last weekend saw Atomic Knitting at Wonder Wool Wales in Builth Wells. We had a fabulous time and met some amazing people and made some new friends too! Here's a picture of the stall and all the goodies on it! The stall took over 5 hours to set up and unpack everything, which I really wasn't expecting, but I think it's worth it. Many Thanks to Becky at Purple Sparkle Crafts for supplying the most amazingly scented cupcake candles that drew a lot of attention from the crowds! More of Becky's scrumptious candles and melts can be found here

We spent the weekend camping in the field behind the showground, which was not bad actually, as the weather was mild and the rain held off. We ended up at the Little Chef for tea on the saturday night as we couldn't find a pub that we thought we could get into dressed as we were! I can highly recommend the fish and chip shop in the centre of Builth - was the only take out eatery open at 9pm when we had finished setting up.

Taking Stock

It's been a busy few weeks with the end of the accounting year, which means the dreaded annual stock take that can take from a few hours to a few days. As each year goes by the number of beads to count gets higher! Anyway, I think I'm done now, so that's out of the way for another year.

Also been spending a fair bit of time getting organised for the Wonderwool 09 event in Builth Wells at the end of the month. The stall structure is now in place, as is the lighting and now it's just making sure I have enough stock to take. The stall will be a mix of loose beads and pendants, jewellery, wool, needles, stitch markers and accessories - so quite a few things to sort out!
