News & Events

APRIL 2025

Please note that we are taking an extend Easter break and will be back on the 23rd April and will start processing orders. Happy Easter everyone!

March 2025

Important news: As of April 7th our prices will be going up.

Having now been in charge of weaversbazaar for a year (where has the time gone??!), we've had time to reflect on the business and find we need to increase our pricing due to the general increase in operating costs that businesses are facing. It's not a decision we have taken lightly and we've tried to keep increases to a minimum.

The cost for 25g of yarn will increase to £4, and multiples of that will increase accordingly. Other prices will also change.

We will have to turn orders off on our website while we change the prices. Orders will close at 12 noon on Friday 4th April. We will then send out any outstanding orders and take the opportunity to do a stock check. Orders will re-open by Monday 14th April - earlier if we manage to be our usual swift and efficient selves...!

But we'd also like to say how much we have appreciated your custom and continued support over the last year, and especially thank Lin and Rachel for all their support in getting us up and running. It's been a lot of fun (despite moving the business twice) and we've made lots of new friends in the process. We've been amazed by your support as well, and the messages we've been receiving since the news of the price increases was made on social media - it's wonderful to know how much you appreciate both what we do and the product! Thank you all so much!!

January 2025

We've moved! We'll put some pictures in our next newsletter, but that canal in the photo above is now a short walk away! 

Our new address is: Unit 12, Lyne Riggs Estate, Lancaster Road, Carnforth, LA5 9EA. The phone number remains the same. 

We're now able to receive visitors by appointment, so if you'd like to visit us to access our resources, dip into the pop-up shop, or pick up an order, please do get in touch.

 

IMPORTANT NEWS! ORDERS TO EU AND NORTHERN IRELAND

Update 11 December 2024 

We have been investigating the impacts of the EU General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) that come into effect on December 13th 2024. We are pleased to be able to announce that we will be able to continue to ship our yarns to the EU and Northern Ireland, as they are exempt from the legislation due to being 'products of animal origin (POAO) not for human consumption'. 

However, the regulations mean that we will be unable to ship any other items from our product range to the EU and Northern Ireland, hopefully temporarily until we can find a solution, but that may take some time.

Please do contact us if you have any queries. 

Other important information:

Sept 2024 - we are sorry but we are not always able to send 100g colours out on tubes and you may receive these as cones. This is due to issues we are experiencing with the winding machines, we are waiting for an engineer to come and have a look, but it takes a while from East Grinsted! We are hoping to see him before the end of the year. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

 

eGIFT VOUCHERS. We have decided to give these a time limit of 5 years. Any new gift vouchers will automatically have this applied. If you already have a voucher, it will expire 5 years from the date of issue. You can check what the expiry date is by contacting us - we will need the code on the voucher. The oldest vouchers that are out there have until April 2025 to be used!
