M.O.E post 4 – EVERYTHING BUT THE YARN

Post 4 in this year’s M.O.E (Meet Our Exhibitor) series.

Category is EVERYTHING BUT THE YARN.  Yarningham may be a portmanteau of yarn and Birmingham but there’s more than just yarn in our marketplace.  Today we look at our exhibitors who provide us stitchers with tools, accessories, haberdashery and pattern books.

Beyond Measure is an online shop selling beautiful things for makers. Their range includes fine scissors, handmade buttons, unique pincushions, wooden and leather cases, quality pins, needles, trimmings and more.

An Caitin Beag makes jewellery and accessories for knitters, including silver and gemstone shawl pins, wearable tools and stitch markers.

Knitting patterns designed by Anna Maltz for adventurous, fun-loving knitters. Penguins, Marlisle and all sorts else.

Textile Garden has been selling beautiful buttons, ribbons, shawl pins and other clothing accessories for the past 10 years.  The majority of Textile Garden’s items are exclusive, and are not available elsewhere in the UK.

Yarnistry make and sell unique laser cut items for yarn-based activities.

To find out about all of our exhibitors, please visit the Yarningham website.

Advanced tickets for Yarningham marketplace are £5 (+ booking fee) and are available from our website.
