In 2016, Angela Hounsell, a full time Graphic Designer, had a
dream. A dream to have her very own corner of the universe,
full of colour and passion for all things creative. With thanks
to both her grandmas, a creative passion has been with Angela
from a very young age as she learnt to knit, sew and bake – this
desire to create never waned and only grew stronger.
Welcome to Craftyangel, a small but perfectly formed fabric
and yarn shop nestled in the rolling countryside of rural
Hertfordshire. Located just a few minutes from the small
market town of Buntingford, this creative haven can be found
on a working farm just off the main route between London
and Cambridge on the A10.
The peaceful wide-open space lets the imagination expand as
far as the eye can see. The beautiful scenery and variety of
wildlife is wonderful and only adds to the ambience, especially
if you see the magical rare white deer!
Angela is passionate about the importance of quality products
and the professional finish that can be achieved with them.
She works hard to bring these handpicked items to her ever
growing and loyal customer base, many of whom have become
very good friends.
“I want each and every single customer to have a wonderful
experience when they come to visit. Craftyangel is not based
on a high street so customers do travel to come and see us…
I’ve even had someone fly in from Sweden to attend a course!
“says Angela.
She adds, “It is so important to me that my customers get the
time and attention they need or want when visiting, it’s like a
creative bubble without the hustle and bustle of a high street.
There’s loads of free parking and there is always a cup of tea and
a biscuit on offer too! “
