Knitting Courses in Suffolk

As a result of popular demand, we are pleased to introduce our summer programme of knitting courses. 

All the courses last for two hours and take place in our lovely wool shop and cafe.  Places are limited to 6 people per course, so you can be assured of plenty of attention and tuition.

Each course costs £25 and includes materials and refreshments.

Why not make a day of it?  Bring a friend, enjoy a course in the morning and spend the afternoon in the beautiful medieval village of Lavenham, taking in the sights and discovering the gorgeous independent shops and galleries the village has to offer.

Bookings can be made online, or by calling the shop on 01787 249865

Cafe Knit 46 High Street, Lavenham, Suffolk, CO10 9PY

 I haven't blogged for ages.  And this is the reason why.  On Saturday 12th November we opened our first high street store in the beautiful historic wool town of Lavenham in Suffolk.

It all seems a bit of a blur now, but we were up till 2am the night before trying to stock the shelves.  there were still some empty gaps come Saturday, but none of our visitors seemed to mind.

We are coming to the end of week 4 and we have been manically busy, and we are still putting stock on the shelves !  I have a feeling that will never end!  We have a new member of staff, Kate, who is learning to knit and is well on the way to finishing her first scarf!

If you are in the area, please come by and say hello and have a delicious coffee (the best for miles around, so they say!) and cake whilst you browse our yarns and patterns.



On our opening day Saturday 12th November 2011

Tour of Britain Hits Lavenham!

Fantastic morning this morning,cheering on the Tour of Britain, which in it's 7th stage from Bury St Edmunds to Sandringham, came through Lavenham.

Sadly we didn't get much of a glimse at the cyclists as they were soooo fast!!

Hello Lavenham!

Well, it's been ages since I've blogged, but life has been so hectic recently!  The day after the end of term we went off camping in Cornwall for 10 days or so, came home and then less than 2 days later moved home and business from Harrow to the gorgeous village of Lavenham in Suffolk.

The fun doesn't stop there, as the house we have bought has a shop attached, which is being turned into Cafe Knit!  There is a lot of work to do, but we have already demolished two internal walls, so we can now begin in earnest with the shop refitting.

Here is the shop as it stands today......

The shop front is lovely, and I had a meeting with my signwriter today, which is all very exciting.  It's beyond my wildest dreams to take the logo my sister in law designed for the website three years ago, to a 'real' shop front!!!.  And the shop space itself is much bigger than I remembered, especially now we have taken down two partition walls.  Hopefully plenty of space for a spacious cafe and enough room to display all our scrummy yarns.....

I do hope if you are visiting, or live in Suffolk, you will stop by when we are open.  As well as a bite to eat and drink and browsing through all the fab things we have to offer, we will be running various classes too.
