Christmas is on its way and it is time to start thinking about what presents to get your loved ones, if you haven't started your shopping already that is.

It won't be too long until Christmas day is upon us and now is the time to be getting things ready for the big day and the holidays.

Winter is fast approaching and we are all starting to think about winter fashion and what fabrics we can use to make up some stylish warm garments ready for the cold season. At calico laine we have a large range of fabrics that are especially ideal for the colder months such as melton, woollen flannel and tartans due to their...

When the summer holidays are over many people begin thinking about Christmas but before Christmas comes along their is another day that the kids love to celebrate, Halloween!
