Exciting News – Four New Workshop Venues!
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been invited to host workshops at four stunning new venues across Sussex & Kent! It’s always special when venues approach us directly, & we’re so excited to bring our craft workshops to these beautiful locations.
This week, Paula picked up her needles & knitted a scarf - something she hasn't done in fine gauge for ages! The yarn, a thoughtful gift from her cousin Vikki (who also works at Cocoon&me), came from an Alpaca Farm, making it even more special. Vikki visited Little Orchard in Devon a couple of years ago while on holiday, & the yarn has been tucked away in Paula's stash, waiting for the right moment. Who else loves working with alpaca yarn? It’s so soft & luxurious!

A Birthday to Remember
Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a fabulous kids’ Arm Knit Birthday Party at Hive Design Studio for the lovely Jesal, who turned 12. With 10 of her closest friends, it was a day filled with fun, creativity, & plenty of giggles. Everyone walked away with their own cosy Arm-Knit creations & big smiles!
Over Christmas & New Year, Paula & her family had the privilege of visiting Thailand & Vietnam. It was a much-needed break filled with incredible experiences, that provided some much-needed perspective as we step into 2025.
