King Street’s crafty new addition opens its doors
Make, create and have a good old natter at King Street’s newest addition: a crafting hub offering a host of workshops, evening and day classes, activities for children and demonstration days. Called Sew Knit Craft, you’ll find it at number 58, the spot which for the last four years has been home to Sew Creative. All the previous staff have stayed on so their expertise continues to be available to customers, and staff are on hand all day to answer your crafting queries and share techniques.
Irena Spence, the new owner, is a partner in a law firm in Cambridge, and has lived and worked in the city for over 30 years. She says: “I’ve always been mad about crafts and this new venture allows me to indulge my passion. I’ve always dreamt of owning a craft shop and when the opportunity presented itself I jumped at the idea. I was taught to knit when I was five by my eldest sister and have loved everything to do with crafts ever since. I have recently discovered quilting and have to admit that I am hooked. Now I want to share it with as many other people as I can. That’s the best thing about crafting – there are so many gorgeous things to work on.”
Sew Knit Craft stocks a wide range of fabrics, sewing machines and wool as well as patterns and general haberdashery; a new and wider variety of stock items is already being introduced.
