I have great pleasure to welcome Easy Knits into the shop.
If any of you have been to a knitting exhibiton or are active on Ravelry you may have come across the delightful John Dunn- Ballam and his wonderful BRIGHT yarns. Having learnt to knit at age 6, taught by his nan, and later when he could not find the shade of yarn he wanted, Easy Knits was born!
His range consists of Bambino, Big Boy, Cherish, Cloud and Deeply Wicked, not forgetting Little Guys ( for those of you who are busy hexipuffing)
I have ordered the selection box so you can see which ones take your fancy. Have quick look here, to wet your appetite!
Welcome Jon and Easy Knits to the Cornwall Yarn Shop.x

The Manx Loaghtan is a breed of sheep (Ovis aries) native to the Isle of Man. It is sometimes spelled as Loaghtyn or Loghtan. It is characterized by a dark brown wool and usually having four or occasionally six horns.[1]
The Manx Loaghtan is descended from the primitive sheep once found throughout Scotland and the Hebrides and Shetland Islands, and is one of the Northern European short-tailed sheep breeds. The word Loaghtan comes from the Manx words lugh dhoan which means mouse-brown and describes the colour of the sheep.[1] This breed is primarily raised for meat which is considered a delicacy. It has recently received EU recognition and protection under the Protected Designation of Origin scheme which requires products to originate in a specific region such as Champagne.[2]
It is categorised as "at risk" by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, as there are fewer than 1,500 registered breeding females in the UK.[3]
Andrea, a customer, made this beautiful garment; http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fireside-sweater in Manx Aran;

back view;
WOW! Hoe stunning is that! Well done Andrea..
progress so far:
This is the back, the yarn, Shelter is lovely to knit with , very rustic, with bits of twig, but it gets more malleable when handled, soft and very cosy in a light way.
