What can I do with mini skein sets? Pattern inspiration for multiple mini skeins!

Mini skein sets are a really popular treat for yarn lovers with lots of different options available. When we have enough minis in stockĀ we offer variousĀ mini skein lucky dip sets withĀ quantities ranging from five minis to 24 minis. We also often put together yarn packs of mini skeins with colours that look nice together (ie they're not lucky dip). You can see all our mini skein listings including any sets that are in stockĀ HERE. This past December we also had a 12 mini skein set available called 12 Days of Winter - designed to be a little boost of serotonin...

ECY monthly round up: September 2023
