NEW ARRIVALS
Fluffing Fabulous Crafty Finds
Welcome to Gilliangladrag. Fluff is our religion. And here is what we believe:
1. We believe making stuff makes you happy :-)
2. We believe that there's no such thing as too much wool. That's definitely not a thing.
3. We believe in an inspirational 'stash' & craft cupboard. That is the root of all creative possibility & satisfaction, and well, if you've got that, then you must be doing something right.
4. We believe you have the right to add as many pompoms & tassels as you want. Decoration is life.
5. We believe in fluffy stuff. Both physically and metaphoricafluffilly.
6. And we believe in our Grandmas - they led the way and taught us what we know; we are but revolutionaries knitting, crocheting, felting, weaving and stitching with neon pink & adding more pompoms than is normal... :-) xx
'Holy Fluff' Hand Dyed Yarn by Gilliangladrag
Designed & hand dyed by myself and my team in my studio in Betchworth, we now have a fabulous range of 'Holy Fluff' hand dyed yarn, in a number of different yarn weights and colour combos - growing in number by the week! Did you know all our Holy Fluff hand dyed yarns are named with song titles that reflect their colourful vibe!?
Courses & Workshops
At the moment our Creative Courses are on hold due to Covid. Instead please check out our FREE Gilliangladrag Tutorials on YouTube.
We are hoping to reschedule one-to-ones in June 2021 and full classes in Autumn 2021. Please subscribe to our newsletter for more details at the foot of this page! We teach Felting, Weaving, Knitting, Crochet, Spinning, Dyeing + more! Our inspirational studio will give you more than just a really fun day out - you'll learn something new too!

My Kid Silk Mohair Simple Easy Knit SHRUG : Free pattern!
I am a MASSIVE fan of our kid silk mohair yarn, and wanted to write a pattern for a simple shrug project that anyone could make - even if you have very little experience! This is the perfect project for anyone that is tired of knitting scarves and wants something slightly more challenging but still easy! Essentially you are knitting a giant rectangle and then sewing up the sides to form a shrug - which is basically a cross between a shawl and a cardigan. This kid silk mohair yarn is light and diaphanous, and yet also super warm, - it is literally like putting on a warm hug! :-) The fluffy fibres add an instant layer of warmth, and yet this yarn is super soft against the skin too. #WINWIN!
Easy Striped Cotton Crochet Tote Project
Say hello to our fab new striped crochet Tote Bag project! This striped cotton tote has a relaxed shape and vibe plus is a VERY generous size that makes it versatile and practical :-) a great project to crochet for yourself or as a gift for someone else! Carry it through the seasons for shopping trips or days out - our wonderful webbed canvas bag handles come in lots of colours and make comfortable shoulder straps once they're sewn on.
