Crafts

It has taken a little longer than we planned but we have so many exciting products to choose from we really were spoiled for choice. The main inspiration behind this new venture at Karelia House is Kit Strathairn who is just such a talented artist - her visions and techniques with different materials, textiles, threads and paints seems endless. Kit will be taking many of the workshops so please give her a call or drop in if you have any questions. We have fabulous yarns from Colinette, Noro, Mirasol, Arucania and they are not just about knitting (although I have to say we already have some real knitting yarn junkies in the area) – you can also use them for weaving or felting. We have the most superb range of Stewart Gill paints for fabrics and other mediums and Kit will show you all sorts of ways to create wonderful and exciting pieces – one of our courses, Tessellations, is so fabulous using the Stewart Gill paint in combination with some of our metallic threads from Superior threads. The very latest selection of Bali Batiks is now on the shelves and we have all the essential ingredients including Superior’s King Tut and Rainbow threads to keep quilters and patchworkers busy and inspired.
