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!

We're having a bit of a reshuffle in our chunky section, as I have my eye on some new chunky yarns, as I think a few of ours have reached the end of their natural 'shelf life'.

We've also started getting back in all the shades of Special Chunky, as we'd pared that down a bit in recent months. It's starting to look a bit lush on the shelves!

As a result though, we've decided to move on Cygnet Chunky, so if you're looking for a really lovely acrylic chunky at a bargain price of £1.80 a ball, make sure you grab it quick! It's a really lovely yarn, we've just decided to change things up a bit ☺️

Yesterday was SUCH a fun day. Jenni and I went on a little trip to Saffron Walden, and we had a fab mooch around the charity shops (amazeballs dungarees, kooky tins and cropped jumpers purchased). But the most exciting part of the day, was visiting Sew Susie which I have been dying to do since Susie opened!

She has such a beautiful shop, and is such a beautiful person too 🩷 we love sending people her way, because as you know, whilst we sell some lush patchwork fabrics, we don't do any dress making fabrics, so she's your girl! Plus some gorgeous yarns (I bought some lush local spun and dyed yarn which I will show you later), and the most adorable notions and buttons!

And do take a look at my Stories for the audio on that video 🤣🤣

So if you're near Saffron Walden at all, get yourself over there!!

It's Tuesday, and I've got a lush 4ply cotton to show you!!

Rico Cotton does what it says on the tin. It's mercerised and comes in lush shades. Lush I tell you.

And it's only £2.75 a ball!
