Yarn, knitting, and crochet related gift ideas for 2021 - the ECY Gift Guide
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. We have info on shipping dates HERE actually - please do take a look. 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. I am going to write this...

Granted only just, but it still counts. I'll start by saying these are in the kits section...
