🎅🏻 Opal 2017 Advent Calendars! 🎅🏻

Morning folks, It's a lovely sunny day here in Bournville and at the time of writing this so it seems to be a bit odd to be telling you about Christmas Advent Calendars! We've put our pre-order in with our supplier for the limited edition 2017 Opal Advent Calendar. These have been really popular in previous years so if you don't want to miss out you can order yours here . We expect them to be delivered into store mid September & we will post them out as soon as they arrive 🎅🏻🎅🏻 This years advent calendar is presented in a brand new design of a Christmassy themed knitting book & contains 24 brand new colour mini balls of Opal sock yarn (15g per ball) which we know you will love! These can be used for anything #notjistforsocks! Below is a pic of last years balls to give you an idea of what to expect! Why not treat yourself, or better still share this link & get someone else to treat you 😍 Aren't they just lovely!!! Take care &...

Tell us your thoughts..

Hello there! As you know, we launched our exclusive WYS Marie Curie Yarn in 2017 and sold 1200 balls which enabled us to donate £2,400 directly to the charity - we were overwhelmed with the support & sold out of the limited edition colourway! Photo Credit: Knit Now Magazine Socks Designed by Jenny Riley aka @geekyknitter We are currently planning a 2018 colour-way & are looking for your opinions... still using the yellow and blue of the Marie Curie branding, we'd love to hear your thoughts on a new colour-way design. Either comment below or email us at cityknits@gmx.co.uk If you would like to be the first to know when we launch the new yarn, why not join our mailing list? We'd love to hear from you, Caroline, Julie & Sally x
