Event: MolenMarkt XL

🇬🇧 After we enjoyed the Molenmarkt XL in fall 2021 so much, Heathland Knits will be present again this year at the Molenmarkt XL in Borkel, municipality of Valkenswaard, NL. The first MolenMarkt XL will be on Saturday, June 4 (Whit-Saturday), 2022.

We’ll bring fresh spring and summer colors, knitting samples for hands-on and inspiration, knitting kits, knitting supplies, and braid star and lucet forks for the little ones.

Next to the booth we plan to have a cozy little knitting corner for a meet-and-knit, giving space for chit-chat and knitting together. So, pack your knitting, grab a coffee and knit a round with me.

We’re looking forward to Whit Saturday!

🇬🇧 The first summer colors are dyed! The colors are dyed on the Pure Merino Sport base. A pure merino yarn with a length of 310m per 100g – light and yet strong enough for summer T-shirts, sweaters, or shawls. The first four colors form a gradient from peachy orange to cool lilac. The last…
