News & Events

June 2026

We'll be at Cumbrian Wool Gathering, 20th & 21st June at J36 Auction Mart. If you'd like to place a pre-order to collect at the Gathering, please do so by Wednesday 17th June, so we have time to pack it along with everything else! Instructions for how to do click & collect are below - please email Alison when you have placed your order to let her know you'll collect at Cumbrian Wool Gathering. See you there!

 

April 2026

Our stock check uncovered a few tubes of old batches of our fine and medium wool yarn, which we are selling at a reduced price of £4 per tube. There is a list of the colours and their batch numbers here. They are mainly 25g tubes but there are a few 50g tubes amongst them. If you'd like to purchase any of them, contact Alison (alison@weaversbazaar.com or phone +44 7594 234499 between 9:30am and 12 noon UK time) to check if they're still available. She can then sort out your order and payment.

You can now order click and collect, excellent news for those of you who live nearby or who will be passing on your travels (J35 on the M6). Simply select 'click and collect' as your delivery address at checkout, then contact Alison to arrange collection. It should be available from the next day for items we have in stock (or from Tuesday if you order on Friday), ready to collect between 10am and 12 noon, but Alison will confirm when it's ready to collect

Our new poll asks the weavers amongst you which sett(s) (number of warps per inch or centimetre) you prefer to use. We're simply curious, but it may influence our choice of warp yarns going forward. But there's also now videos on our YouTube channel about how to estimate sett for tapestry, and how to use our sett tapes. Let us know what you think!

Poll: For the weavers amongst you, what sett (number of warps / ends per inch or centimetre) do you regularly use? Please tick whichever boxes apply. And yes, the conversion from epi to epc has been rounded up / down - surely we all try to make things as mathematically simple as possible when we're calculating our warp?! epi = ends per inch epc = ends per centimetre

Tick all that apply
