Sconch is a friendly Local Yarn Shop stocking a huge range of yarn, patterns, notions, and books. We also offer classes and craft groups. You can also shop online with us at www.sconch.com

Founded by Sam Conway at the beginning of 2011, Sconch started life creating bespoke home furnishings and stylish crocheted accessories. After struggling to find a supplier that combined the convenience of online shopping with the personal service of going to a local store, she decided to set up shop herself. Combining a strong social media presence with the convenience of an online shop ensures Sconch is able to provide a personal service to each of their customers. Whether it is colour matching to an existing project, photographing different yarns together to ensure you get the perfect combination of colours, or just being on hand to discuss your lastest yarn obsession, Sconch is here to help. Sconch stocks products from many of the leading brands of yarns, all available for same day despatch. We are on hand seven days a week to deliver an unbeatable level of personal service. Sconch may not be the biggest (yet!) but aims to be the best for service and price. You can keep up to date with the adventures at Sconch HQ (including the tales of the long suffering Mr Sconch and the little Sconchlet!) on the blog or by following our page, Instagram, Pinterest or Twitter feed. Just click on the tab at the top of the page for the blog or the Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter buttons at the bottom of the page. Or why not pop in and see us? We are open Tuesday to Sunday every week!

A quick look at Emotions as well as the patterns. We love it here, and it's selling well in the shop too. So thought you'd all like to take a look too 🩷

It's on the website, just search for 'Emotions'!

Also, jogging bottoms?! 🙈🤣🤣

Yes, James Brett Emotions is here, in all it's multicolour, double knit glory 🩷

We've had a move round in the shop too, so the Special DK is now on the middle block of units as you come in the shop, so that we could show off these lovelies opposite the till 🌈🌈

We had SO much fun on Saturday morning making our giant, cosy arm knitted blankets! 😍

There was so much laughing and chilled crafting, which is exactly what we wanted. They all looked quite funny leaving the shop with mahoosive black bin liners stuffed to the brim with giant blankets, in a bid to keep them dry in the horrific weather 🙈🤣🤣

So, the question is, who wants me to run another date for this?! And do we try and squeeze it in before Christmas?!

It's Thursday, it's freezing, but I've got new shades in Softie to show you, plus lush new patterns! 🩷

So grab some yarn and knit yourself a snuggly jumper, cardigan or hat 😍 winter is coming people...

Classes are £25, or book both for £40!

All our classes are run by experienced, DBS checked staff. Classes are for kids ages 8+

Do you fancy making a giant squishy throw?! We had lots and lots of people asking for us to put this class on after we did a small scale one for the kids in the summer, but full disclosure, we've had hardly any bookings since we put the class live!

It's next Saturday (24th) and you get all your materials (4 massive balls!) included to make a super soft and snuggly lap throw. We'll be arm knitting this, so it's super quick and fun to learn!

If you search for 'Jumbo Knits' on the website, you'll find it ☺️

A whole morning of arm knitting, eating cake and chatting, what could be more perfect?! 🩷

So not the most riveting of posts, nor the most aesthetically pleasing, so now doubt Insta and FB will show this to approximately 23 people.

But we've changed our Friday opening times to align with the rest of the weekdays.

So Tuesday-Friday, 9:30-4pm. Saturday stays at 9:30-5pm.

Trade is definitely on the way back up after the *worst* year ever (thank you!) but if I have to spend one more Friday evening in the shop on my own, I'll claw my eyes out 🤣🤣 we never see anyone past about 3:45.

Obviously now I've done this, there'll be a queue of people trying to get in at 4:15pm.

Please share! 🩷

Another book tour! Yes, today we are looking at One Skein Crochet by the wonderful 🩷

I've made the Acorn Headscarf using Woolstok (lush!) and I might just keep it for myself...

Tomorrow is the last day of the book tour, so make sure you pop along to for their stop!

It's been a while since we've done a window tour! 🩷

We are super proud of our Breast Cancer Awareness window though, so we had to show you!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and with it being particularly close to our hearts this year, with one of our favourites, Jenny, currently going through chemotherapy, we couldn't not pull all of this together.

If you'd like to donate, will be walking 100 miles during her chemo journey to raise money for 💪

A massive thank you to for the amazeballs flower b***s in the centre of the window 🩷 and to .hatchard for all of the fabulous 3D net b***s, which have both been quite a talking point! And of course to Jenny and our other lovely ladies for the many, many b***s!

As well as Jenny's fundraising page, I'll be sharing links to some lovely patterns which directly donate money to breast cancer charities in the next day or so - keep an eye on stories too!

Please remember to check your b***s, and that goes for men as well as the ladies 🩷
