On Saturday 4th November we will be hosting another Birdstreet Yarn Trunk Show!

We can't wait to welcome Jon and Clare back to Oxford Yarn Store 😊 They will once again be taking over most of the shop with their whole collection of stunning yarn and any other goodies that they have to hand. They will also be about on the day to chat about their inspiration, the dying process and help you pick out yarn for your special project or if you are after the perfect present. They are honestly some of the loveliest people and we can’t wait to have them back in Oxford again.

A date for the dairy!
