Please Visit Wooly Wonders At Redlands Yard

Kirsty has had her Wooly Wonders unit at Redlands Yard since last June but is already threatened with closure due to lack of customers.
Redlands Yard showed their support by posting this message:

“Our wonderful yarn shop here at Redlands Yard is proving popular on social media and with knitting stalwarts, but the current level of custom is not high enough to sustain Wooly Wonders as a business. We love having Kirsty here, with her fantastic knowledge and extensively stocked shop full of yarns and accessories, and we are keen to support niche businesses and interests such as this. However, if custom does not pick up, the shop will have to close. If you would like to see it stay open, please come along and support this excellent enterprise. Thank you.”

Kirsty also posted on social media:

“If you can support us, please do. We love our new home and would be sad to have to leave. A huge thank you to Redlands Yard for all your help and support.

Team Wooly“

It’s Christmas At Redlands Yard

Honouring their tradition of the last 30 years, Christmas arrived on 1st October at Redlands Yard and The Foxy Cottage!

As you’d expect with the current fuel situation and the way deliveries and drivers are situated at the moment, there have been delays with their stock. They have “a sprinkling of Christmas” on display now and hopefully it won’t be long until they are in Full Bling mode!

The Foxy Cottage are also selling 2022 calendars produced by Award-winning landscape, aerial and property photographer, James Loveridge Photography which captures 12 beautiful scenes of our Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty – Dorset. On sale now.

Go directly to their online shop HERE.

Note: All collections are now from the Comrades Hall, except a 4pm collection from the shop reserved for working customers who cannot get to the hall before 1pm.

As more people are using the service, to provide a safer environment and to maintain a steady flow of customers, collection slots are at fifteen minute intervals starting at 11:30am and finishing at 1pm.

Please pick up from the side door where they will hand over your order at the entrance. Some customers’ orders are quite large and they will need to take several bags to their car, so please can all customers wait until the previous customer has finished their collection before entering the porch by the side entrance. Please wait in the doorway rather than go into the hall while they get your order ready.

Our thanks to all the team who have not only maintained this essential village service since the first Lockdown, almost a year a go – they have improved upon it!
