Sconch is a friendly Local Yarn Shop stocking a huge range of yarn, patterns, notions, and books. We also offer classes and craft groups. You can also shop online with us at www.sconch.com

Founded by Sam Conway at the beginning of 2011, Sconch started life creating bespoke home furnishings and stylish crocheted accessories. After struggling to find a supplier that combined the convenience of online shopping with the personal service of going to a local store, she decided to set up shop herself. Combining a strong social media presence with the convenience of an online shop ensures Sconch is able to provide a personal service to each of their customers. Whether it is colour matching to an existing project, photographing different yarns together to ensure you get the perfect combination of colours, or just being on hand to discuss your lastest yarn obsession, Sconch is here to help. Sconch stocks products from many of the leading brands of yarns, all available for same day despatch. We are on hand seven days a week to deliver an unbeatable level of personal service. Sconch may not be the biggest (yet!) but aims to be the best for service and price. You can keep up to date with the adventures at Sconch HQ (including the tales of the long suffering Mr Sconch and the little Sconchlet!) on the blog or by following our page, Instagram, Pinterest or Twitter feed. Just click on the tab at the top of the page for the blog or the Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter buttons at the bottom of the page. Or why not pop in and see us? We are open Tuesday to Sunday every week!

Another book tour! Yes, today we are looking at One Skein Crochet by the wonderful 🩷

I've made the Acorn Headscarf using Woolstok (lush!) and I might just keep it for myself...

It's been a while since we've done a window tour! 🩷

We are super proud of our Breast Cancer Awareness window though, so we had to show you!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and with it being particularly close to our hearts this year, with one of our favourites, Jenny, currently going through chemotherapy, we couldn't not pull all of this together.

If you'd like to donate, will be walking 100 miles during her chemo journey to raise money for πŸ’ͺ

A massive thank you to for the amazeballs flower b***s in the centre of the window 🩷 and to .hatchard for all of the fabulous 3D net b***s, which have both been quite a talking point! And of course to Jenny and our other lovely ladies for the many, many b***s!

As well as Jenny's fundraising page, I'll be sharing links to some lovely patterns which directly donate money to breast cancer charities in the next day or so - keep an eye on stories too!

Please remember to check your b***s, and that goes for men as well as the ladies 🩷

Moooorning! My book review is here for the fab Book Tour of the Complete Guide to Granny Squares by the amazeballs 😍

I've used Naturals Pure Wool, which I LOVED by the way. Super soft, lush stitch definition, perfect for those flowers! 🩷

I'm off to make some more squares...

No idea if this will have captions, have an odd filter or even have sound. Insta is not playing ball for me today!

Anyhoo, Life DK with a new variation and we loves it.

Plus don't forget it's Yarnstravaganza this week!

What a day!!

I took NO photos, but luckily Jenny snapped a few, so we do have evidence of the slightly manic me, the giggling Craft'n'Cake lot, and the packed shop! 🩷

Everything is now online too, including the lush Half Done Jen bags (yes, they're back!) which hadn't quite made it online by this morning when I posted on stories πŸ™ˆ

Don't forget Yarnstravaganza is on all week, so keep your eyes out for all the offers running throughout 😍

A massive thank you to everyone who came today, and to everyone who helped out, whether that was offering yarny advice if we were busy, or pulling yarn from the warehouse for us, or handing out drinks! I really do have the best customers πŸ₯°

Jo and I are glad it's Sunday tomorrow πŸ™ˆπŸ€£

My Thursday video going out slightly late... Wondered why I'd had zero notifications. Turns out you actually need to *post* the video 🀣

Jewelspun Ombre new (to us) colours - again, we've actually had this a couple of months but I apparently didn't tell you all...

It's lush, go buy it! Just search 'Jeweslpun Ombre' on the website!

Plus, Yarnstravaganza this Saturday, 10-3pm, be there or be an unhappy person at home 🀣

When you get left a 1 star review because your shelves are all empty with no good stock, so you have to go and quickly check to see if someone stole all the yarn whilst you were away...
..yes there are some gaps (we don't instantly replace what we sell, I have to actually order in minimum orders, normally weekly though!), and yes some ranges are running down (West Yorkshire Spinners anyone?! But yes there are signs saying 'new yarns coming soon!').

But I do like to think there's enough choice for most people to be able to find what they want 😳

Oh, and we're also unhelpful and don't like to serve people.

Sorry about that πŸ˜•

We're having a bit of a reshuffle in our chunky section, as I have my eye on some new chunky yarns, as I think a few of ours have reached the end of their natural 'shelf life'.

We've also started getting back in all the shades of Special Chunky, as we'd pared that down a bit in recent months. It's starting to look a bit lush on the shelves!

As a result though, we've decided to move on Cygnet Chunky, so if you're looking for a really lovely acrylic chunky at a bargain price of £1.80 a ball, make sure you grab it quick! It's a really lovely yarn, we've just decided to change things up a bit ☺️
