Purlessence has moved to bigger more spacious premises during the Christmas holidays. It was quite evident for some time that 125 Hampton lane was getting a little bit small for our needs. Although all the wool fitted in and the store was friendly in our old dwellings there was always a little bit of a problem. Knit and natter nights on Friday's were very popular and although we all managed to fit in some times somebody would end up with a knitting needle poked in an inconvenient place. There was also the matter of finding room for the courses that Paula and Dulcie wanted to run, the patchwork class that Carol ran was brilliant but again it was almost impossible for more than two people to patch work using the table stowed at the back of the shop.The last little problem was that it wasn't the dream shop. The dream shop, was a shop that ran courses, helped the community with their wooly and habedashery needs,ran knit and natters and had a rather squidgy sofa.
The dream shop became a reality when 175 Hampton Lane came onto the market. It was bigger but it needed a lot of work doing to it.
Over the Christmas Holidays work started to make the premises fit for purpose and amazingly it was all ready for the big opening on Wednesday last week. Purlessence looks beautiful with all the wool being shown off, Tara's Jewellery shiny and bright and a big yellow sofa for the customers to check out pattern,drink a nice cup of tea and chat to the wonderful Paula and Dulcie
