What is J.O.Y. ???
J.O.Y. is about emotion ... and as most of us know knitting can be quite an emotional activity.
J.O.Y. is about a business called JOY OF YARN ...
In the world of Knitting sock knitters are a special type of person, something that is not fully understood until you knit your very first pair of socks. It is then that you discover an entry point into a world of colour, excitement and passion enabled only by needles, yarn and your imagination. James had been knitting for over thirty years before he discovered the world of sock knitting in 2006 and hasn't looked back since. That is why he decided to become a niche retailer specialising in sock yarns to enable his own yarn habit and to tempt others. J.O.Y. aims to bring the world of sock knitting to you by supplying quality yarns at competitive prices, providing great service and developing long lasting friendships along the way.
J.O.Y. is about family...
James is lucky that both his Mother and Father are accomplished knitters in their own right and chose to teach their children to knit at an early age. They, along with Ian, have always been his greatest supporters in James's various forays into the world of fibre. Now more than thirty years after first casting on James was able to acknowledge the role his parents had in developing his love of knitting by opening this business in 2008 on his Father's birthday and naming the business J.O.Y. after his mother.
J.O.Y. is about being a part of the knitting community...
