As many of you may know, Marriner Yarns made the trek to London through the snow, on the last day of February, ready to welcome our customers to The Spring Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia. We made it to the centre before the Beast from the East struck in full force and were able to set up and get everything ready as planned.

We know that not everyone was able to make it to the show, be it because of the weather, distance, or just general life activities taking priority, so we thought we would share some lovely moments from the show with you all.

A lot of time and planning had gone into our stand for this show – keeping it simple, but still making everything available for our customers to have a browse.

We know that our customers love to show off their knits or their crochet projects – and quite rightly too, you clever bunch – which is why we decided to reward one of you every single month.

Each month you can share your projects with us on social media for entry into our prize draw and the chance to win a £50 voucher to spend on MarrinerYarns.com.

 

#MarrinerWithLove winner

 

With January finally over, it seemed only right to take advantage of Valentine’s day and use the month of February to celebrate love. Whether that was love hearts galore, or a hat and scarf made with love for your mother.

Without further ado…

Congratulations to February's winner - Tracey Clancy

Posted in Crochet, Knitting, Made with Marriners, Mindfulness

Over the last few years, mindfulness has become a much sought-after practice and concept. Colouring books, apps, activity books, and thoughtful exercises have all become increasingly popular in our effort to escape our busy lives. With work commitments, social engagements, family responsibilities, general housekeeping tasks – not to mention finding time for yourself – it’s no wonder that more and more people are seeking out ways to calm their minds and think more about the present moment.

Mindfulness has become the modern-day ‘meditation’. For a lot of people, it is…
