Loving Yarns and Crafts A local not-for-profit group organising Affordable Craft Classes for Adults & Seniors in Grimsargh. We welcome all abilities! This year we aim for 100m2.

We are a local Community Group that organises relaxed weekly Craft Workshops and Skillshare Sessions in Knitting and Crochet, Cardmaking, Pottery, Calligraphy, Silk painting and Quilling to name just a few. We operate as a not-for-profit group and our aim is to boost people’s wellbeing and interaction through social crafting in Preston. Our friendly classes are suited to any adult interested in crafting and are tailored to different experience levels. Each session is run to make people feel welcome and is ideal for those with special health conditions or for those who simply don't like attending large groups or public settings. So why not to spend time with likeminded craft enthusiasts, have a cuppa, make new friends and learn a new skill? Last, but not least, we do support local and international charities! We are hosts of The Giant Friendship Blanket Challenge - our small charity project that we are very proud of! Last year we managed to cover 63m2 in handcrafted baby blankets thanks to local knitters and crochet technicians and provided a Christmas gift to 100 displaced children and families in need. We have also donated our baby blankets to Syrian Refugees in Ankara and sent our blankets to the Ukraine. If you want to get involved, come along to our next event! We love meeting like-minded people and our doors are always open to new members, no matter their experience level.

Looking for an easy way to add colour to display crates?

Use masking tape to create patterns.
A quick an easy alternative to stencils whilst giving a fresh and modern vibe.

To prevent seepages of paint make sure you press down firmly. Paint the areas with emulsion onto bare wood for a shabby chic look.
