News

Hi folks and good afternoon from a warm and sunny-ish Yorkshire! I'm sure many of you follow my social media and newsletters and stuff but I thought I should post an update on the blog too seeing as it appears on the website. There's so much to tell you since my last general news blog post so I won't try and cover it all, I'll just talk about the latest stuff.  Firstly as I'm sure you'll have heard by now Laura has left ECY to move on to pastures new. She'll be greatly missed of course, but unfortunately with Brexit...

Just like that 2023 is almost over and the festive period is upon us! If you are thinking of gifting a yarny treat please plan ahead to avoid disappointment. We have info on our Christmas shipping dates HERE so please do take a look at that for guidance. Tip: don't leave it late! So... I know that a lot of people will be buying for others, but these are relevant if you fancy a treat yourself too, so I hope you find it useful. We've split ideas into budget sections.

Where has 2022 gone? We are already in full festive mode here at ECY Shedquarters. With the ongoing industrial action throughout Royal Mail postage will be delayed again running up to December the 25th and so I would encourage you to crack on if you are wanting to order anything.

It's that time of year again! This year has absolutely flown by (or is that just me?!) and with postage being potentially really slow again running up to December the 25th I would encourage you to crack on if you are wanting to order anything.

I know that a lot of people will be buying for others, but these are relevant if you fancy a treat yourself too, so I hope you find it useful. We've split ideas into budget sections.
