Introducing… The Yarn

I have always loved print. Something to hold when reading. A tactile, collectible physical form to be inspired by. A 1980's Ralph Lauren or a 1990's ] Crew catalogue, and more recently, a copy of Monocle. So I am delighted to create our own printed edition, rather aptly named, The Yarn, speaking to our heritage in cloth and our love of a chat.

The Yarn is an embodiment of all that we represent; to hopefully do things differently, to show our world, the way we live, our philosophies, interests and thoughts on different topics. In our first edition, we feature contributors who are also friends of William Crabtree, all of whom have found the shop/brand and begun a relationship with us. A relationship that we hope spans further than a transaction and allows a deeper sense of one another and a human connection, whether that be a handwritten note in an online order or a chat about life, at New Quebec Street...
