We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been invited to host workshops at four stunning new venues across Sussex & Kent! It’s always special when venues approach us directly, & we’re so excited to bring our craft workshops to these beautiful locations.
This week, Paula picked up her needles & knitted a scarf - something she hasn't done in fine gauge for ages! The yarn, a thoughtful gift from her cousin Vikki (who also works at Cocoon&me), came from an Alpaca Farm, making it even more special. Vikki visited Little Orchard in Devon a couple of years ago while on holiday, & the yarn has been tucked away in Paula's stash, waiting for the right moment. Who else loves working with alpaca yarn? It’s so soft & luxurious!
Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a fabulous kids’ Arm Knit Birthday Party at Hive Design Studio for the lovely Jesal, who turned 12. With 10 of her closest friends, it was a day filled with fun, creativity, & plenty of giggles. Everyone walked away with their own cosy Arm-Knit creations & big smiles!
Over Christmas & New Year, Paula & her family had the privilege of visiting Thailand & Vietnam. It was a much-needed break filled with incredible experiences, that provided some much-needed perspective as we step into 2025.
As we welcome 2025, we want to take a moment to reflect on an incredible year filled with creativity, community, & connection. Thank you for being a part of the Cocoon&me journey!
As we approach the festive season, we want to thank you all for an incredible year and let you know that our online shops (including our website, Etsy, and Not on The High Street stores) are now closed for Christmas. We will not be shipping any orders until the new year.
For the third year running, we’re proud to be skipping Black Friday in favour of something far more vibrant: Colour Friday! Today we’ll be celebrating the creativity, colour, & heart that small businesses bring to communities across the UK.
