Crufts is the ultimate celebration of all things canine and attracts dog lovers from all over the world uniting them all in one place, the NEC in Birmingham.

Originally established in 1891 by showman Charles Cruft, it has evolved over the years into the tremendous dog show we all know and love today, promoting fit and healthy working dogs with competitions and awards and attracting around 200 different breeds every year.

The perfect place to promote Kerry Lord’s new Edward’s Menagerie Dogs book! On stand 4-180, with 50 different breeds included in the brand new book and even more characters available in our TOFT complete crochet kits, customers couldn’t wait to start capturing their own pets in crochet form. Whether a working breed such as Springer Spaniel or a toy breed such as a Yorkshire Terrier, Kerry and the TOFT team were on hand to offer expert advice on getting those distinguishing markings and choosing the right colours from TOFT’s extensive range of shades.

 

We were even joined by a special guest on Friday and Saturday - cover star Bullet!

One tail-wagging week over and we’re back on the road, Kerry and the TOFT team are heading up to Edinburgh this week ready for Edinburgh Yarn Festival! Running 15th-17th March 2018 10am - 5:30pm and hosted in the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, the 5th Edinburgh Yarn Festival is looking to be the best yet!

TOFT are sponsoring the Photo Booth this year and we can’t wait for the big reveal of our giant (8ft!) Highland Cow named Morag who's been being assembled daily on the @toft_uk Instagram story! We'll also be offering free 'Learn to Crochet' sessions throughout the event, just find us in the Marquee.

If you’re heading up there too, please do come and say hello, we can’t wait to see you! 

If you’re not able to attend this year, it’s not all bad news. We’ll be listing our brand new Morag the Highland Cow on both our retail websites for purchase Thursday 15th so keep your eyes peeled!
