Autumn is here – the perfect weather for knitting and crocheting – and you might be surprised to know that Noosa is home to many people who know the joy of these crafts.
Owner of Say! Little Hen, Sarah Price says, “I love sharing the joy of this craft with people. It sounds simple but knitting/crochet can make a big difference to your life.“
“Studies have proven both crafts are very beneficial for cognitive function and mental health. It’s so satisfying to create something with your hands. Having something to pick up and work on at the end of a busy day is very relaxing.
“I started the business six years ago. As it grew online I needed more space. Last year I took the opportunity to expand the warehouse and include a studio shop that people can visit,” Sarah said.
“It’s great to chat with people and help them choose the perfect yarn for their next project. So many people are rediscovering the joy of knitting and crochet.
“As a kid I remember my grandmother knitting a cardigan for my baby cousin; I was intrigued by it. My mum taught me how to knit and I went from there! Later on, I began designing knitting patterns, which led to opening my small business online.”
Offering the softest natural fibre yarns alongside patterns, tools and accessories for knitters and crocheters of all skill levels, Say! Little Hen is open Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11a Venture Drive, Noosaville.
