OUR NEW WEB SITE - ONLINE SHOPPING / FREE PATTERNS / WORKSHOPS
Some of you may have noticed that the new Marta's Yarns website is now up and running. The new address is http://www.martasyarns.com.au . There is a redirection from our old website.
We are still adding more products to the shopping cart so that we can offer a wider selection for those customers who cannot make it to the shop. Please note that we will confirm the cost of postage via email before processing your orders. So if you are paying by a method other than credit card, please make sure you receive our second email confirming the total cost of your order prior to sending your payment.
The website also has a useful Patterns and Garments section. This section currently has the pattern and some beautiful photos of our very popular Rainbow Shawl as well as patterns for the linen wrap and the Romance and Flores scarves. We will be adding more free patterns in the coming weeks to inspire you in your next projects.
Our website will also have details of our winter workshops once the dates are finalized. Workshops will start in April and will cover knitting, crochet and felting. We will send another email around about our workshops.
