The Outback Yarns store can be found hidden at the back of the Galloway Gem Shop and Craft Centre. It appeared one afternoon after a cosmic collision between two massive flocks of sheep. The aftermath was an extensive range of innovative yarns and patterns. As if keeping this under control wasn't already taxing, we also have insurmountable supplies of Arts and Craft accessories AND gemstones. And even when the shop is closed we are always open!

🍂 A Love Letter to Autumn is coming… 🧶

There’s something rather lovely about starting a new crochet project as autumn approaches — and this one is gorgeous!

The Stylecraft Love Letter to Autumn Crochet Along begins 1st September, and there are two beautiful colourways to choose from:

🍁 Original — rich, warm autumn shades
🌿 Misty Moors — a softer, more delicate take on the season

Square by square, we’ll be creating a beautiful autumn-inspired blanket, with lots of colour, texture and seasonal details along the way.

Whether you’re joining the Crochet Along or simply fancy a new project to cosy up with this autumn, now’s the perfect time to get your yarn ready.

❤️ Which would you choose — Original or Misty Moors?

📅 CAL starts 1st September

Say hello to the NEW Cotton Twist yarn and wow… it is an absolute dream to work with 😍✨ Soft, vibrant, and full of gorgeous texture — we are already obsessed!

Even better… Stylecraft have released a FREE tote bag pattern and you only need 25g of each colour to make one! That means you can whip one up for yourself and still have enough to make three more as thoughtful handmade gifts for your favourite people 🎁

Our lovely colleague has started making this cute tote bag with it and it’s already looking AMAZING 🧶💖

Who’s adding this to their next project list? 👀👜
