A window display trying to tempt you in with promises of knitted beards and disembodied knitting hands appearing from a woven basket? What more could you ask for?
Fabrications is one of London's funkiest shops which is many things: an independent gallery, a yarn shop and a place to buy all manner of crafty and creative things. Tucked away in East London on Broadway Market it can be a bit of a trip to get there but it's always worth it.
The shop also doubles as the studio for designer-maker Barley Massey, who has been upcycling and recycling craftwise for years.
Last year I made the trek to the shop to pick up some amazing Rethink Rubbish craft kits kindly donated for a Stitch London raffle prize. I came away wishing I'd had more time to browse as the shop is a little bit of handmade heaven in Hackney.
Their recent blog post on their Katherine Eaves window display is truly inspiring stuff.
Visit the online shop if you can't make it to East London.
