To meet growing interest in heritage skills and hands-on making, Peak Dale Products Ltd has introduced a new range of basket weaving kits designed to help beginners get started with this timeless craft. The collection includes a variety of projects, from miniature decorative baskets to practical designs such as bread baskets and lidded containers. Each kit guides makers through the key techniques of basketry step by step, helping them build confidence while learning the foundations of this traditional craft. Using natural materials and clear instructions, the kits make it easy for customers to try basket weaving for the first time while producing a finished piece they can proudly display or use at home. With six different designs in the range, these kits offer craft retailers an appealing way to tap into the growing enthusiasm for traditional, slow crafts and creative skills that have been passed down through generations. +44 (0)1298 78447 www.peakdaleproducts.co.uk ACORN FABRICS After a six-year absence from the collection, Acorn Fabrics is proud to reintroduce this 20 percent wool and 80 percent cotton Tattersall check shirting, Kendal Turf Tan — a timeless fabric that embodies true British heritage. Created by Richard Tattersall in the 18th century for horse blankets, the shirting became popular in the 19th century. The distinctive Tattersall check became synonymous with country style, craftsmanship, and enduring quality. By blending wool and cotton, this shirting offers the best of both fibres: the breathable softness and durability of cotton combined with the natural warmth, resilience, and moisture-regulating properties of wool. The result is a fabric that feels comfortable across seasons, drapes beautifully, and wears in rather than out. Rooted in tradition yet perfectly suited to modern wardrobes, this reintroduced Turf design celebrates heritage design while delivering everyday performance and refinement. sales@acornfabrics.co.uk www.acornfabrics.com
