Good to see "our" David in the pages of Cumbria Life this month. Thanks to @jennywoolgar for great images too.
As we're into December, it's OK to mention Christmas ;-) We've lots of gift ideas including kits to make hats, socks, Christmas decorations, pictures, hares (and Herdwicks) and even beginners' weaving kits. A lot more options in our online shop too. woolclip.com/shop/kits
Certainly cold and frosty and forecast to carry on for a few days yet. Lots of cosy woollen items at the Wool Clip, from gloves and hats to socks and hotwater bottle covers. And a gorgeous lambswool cot blanket. We're open 11am to 4pm at Caldbeck apart from Mondays.
It's wet and wild out there - but so far, so good with the Caldbeck shop staying open. We're here 11am to 4pm each day apart from Mondays. Can we tempt you with some options for wrapping up warm this autumn?

Brilliant to see Emma and Sue still in touch - but hope one's feeling much better and one's seeing those first novels disappearing off the proverbial shelves!

Great picture, Bill.
Bright sunshine this week but those misty autumnal morning are all the excuse you need to start planning wool projects ;-) buff.ly/2tfuEKY
Morning - a bit of advance notice - not exactly wool but definitely natural fibres and coming to #KeswickAlhambraCinema later in September. buff.ly/44sMZDq

Don't think rain - think rainbows! Absolutely - and lots of colour in this month's shop display.
