CAPtains log..

The last online market for The Capalog is with these lovely humans, this weekend!

From saturday morning at 9am, if you head over to Crafty Fox Market's website, you'll find nearly 190 makers listed with links to their websites and online shops.

As for this weekend, the main thing to know, if you are browsing the cap index at the same time as the market is on, during the weekend of the 5th/6th Dec, is to use the 10% discount code "CFOX10"

This year the last weekly batch for caps will be the 16th December, for sending on the 18th December. So please order any caps or cap gift cards you want sending in the post by then.

After this the next batch of caps made up and sent, will be the 6-8th Jan.

Each one has had a theme, they're already done Beyond the north, the North West and the North East and over the next two weekends will be focusing on Yorkshire Part One and Part Two. You can tell they used to trade under Northern Craft as there is a definite northern theme!

This week's cap of the week features a new release! - A new fabric: Wool & Speckles. Traditionally so many caps are made from wool or tweed, but The Capalog hasn't released any caps made from wool yet & wool is a fabric that I have wanted to include for a long time. One of my fave kinds of wool is speckled wool, wool that has lots of multi-coloured speckles woven into the pattern. You will notice speckles as a feature in a lot of tweeds and wool fabrics, but the really colourful ones always stick out to me. Sometimes...
