Wool 'n' Threads - Prototype Magazine

Olivia Wallbank has just completed her MA in Magazine Journalism at the University of Central Lancashire and has created a prototype magazine for our Wool 'n' Threads Club.  This has not been published and is purely for her MA work - although it could possibly be a future project for us.

If you go to the website www.yudu.com and then click on 'login' then 'YUDU Free', you will reach a log in page. You do not need to log in but simply type 'Wool 'n' Threads' into the search box at the top of the page (right hand side) and you should be able to spot the magazine.  

Please do have a look.

McA Direct - Scotland

I attach  a lovely image from the McAree Brothers, an independent department store which has been serving the people of Scotland for 132 years. Following the success of their stores, they decided to bring the best of retailing to the electronic world under McA Direct.
