Yarn Bombing and Phishing

We went "Pish-ing"… well, our Bonnie Braid Macramé cord did anyway!

Celebrity “yarn bomber” Carol Hummel recently used our US made cord to cover palm trees and decorate at Phish Riviera Maya, a three night concert event at a resort in Mexico. Here are some photos of the spectacular work she does:

We're OPEN!

Visit out new website at Pepperell.com
We're OPEN at www.Pepperell.com
We are OFFICIALLY Open!

We are still under a bit on construction - as you can see we do have some more Holgate Toy items to move in as well as the project downloads, but we're nearly there! We launched the store earlier this month and we're trilled to see people already shopping the site.

As you'll note, we are now able to offer 1st class shipping (if it can be applied) to some package rates. The site is new, so there may still be a little bit of dust to clear out, so if you notice any issues or need assistance for navigation, please let us know - email: info@pepperell.com.

Thank you so much for visiting!
