About Rainbow Valley


Rainbow Valley began trading in 2011, selling the unique crochet designs of Helen Free to clients worldwide. The patterns come in both UK and USA terms and are available as instant downloads on the website.

Helen, more commonly known as Enfys online, has been crocheting from childhood and designing for a number of years She designs regularly for Inside Crochet, a UK crochet magazine, DMC Creative and Lets Knit. Her designs are fun, quirky and full of colour.

Helen is a respected crochet teacher and runs regular classes and workshops. These are suitable for beginners to the more advanced crocheter and cover a number of techniques.

In September 2018, Helen opened the shop in Chatteris. Although the emphasis is on yarn, crochet and knitting, it is more than your regular yarn shop. The shop caters for a variety of textile crafts and haberdashery.

Helen wants "Rainbow Valley" to be more than just a shop. There are "Craft and Chat" drop in sessions each weekday morning, classes in the afternoon and workshops on a Saturday. Full details are on the website.

Helen is so patient and doesn't mind how many times she has to show you how to do it. I never thought I would get past granny squares, but am currently making a set of St are Wars figures. The lessons are very informal and often very funny. The other ladies have made me feel really welcome even though I was a complete beginner and left handed. Thank you helen.
Response : Thank you Grace, you are a pleasure to teach.

Attended crochet classes since Jan 2015. Helen is a brilliant tutor, very patient and so talented and artistic. Classes are also fun but professional.

Helen is patient, a great teacher and has a great sense of humour. I have been doing regular for about 5 months after doing 2 one day beginners course. I will be continuing to go for weekly lessons as I am learning a lot, and I find the lessons informative, relaxing and fun.

I purchased the Four Seasons wall hanging patterns and have so far made one in full and a half of another. These are beautiful designs and so unusual. I have had email correspondence with Helen and have found her friendly and helpful when I have had questions such as where to buy the yarn and other supplies, and minor queries about the patterns.

I have just started lessons with Helen, she is patient, quick to give helpful tips but also as you need when you are learning to be to, d when it isn't right. I can see me being a long term regular. I have downloaded patterns as a present and they are clear and easy to follow.

I started with a day course to learn to crochet. Loved it so much I now attend weekly lessons. Helen is a great teacher so patient and she will work with you so you can achieve. Helen is great at recognizing at what level you are working at and what projects you can complete successfully. Would highly recommend.

Just love the patterns I purchased from you. The crochet alphabet mobile patterns solved a problem for me regarding putting names on baby blankets and the rainbow afghan pattern is a dream to work. Will recommend your patterns as they are very straightforward and easy to understand.
Response : Thank you very much!

I have nothing but praise for this lady and her shop. She was fantastic after I purchased 3 patterns when I didn't understand part of it and worked really hard to help me out through email. .

I Have to say that I am over the moon with the service I have received. The speed with which my patterns were sent through to me, and the ease of which to read and understand the patterns is terrific. Once I have completed my projects I will happily upload pictures to share. I have previously made the rainbow mobile, without realising till now, that it WAS in fact one of yours. So thank you for that also. It made up beautifully and mother and child were delighted!

Excellent service and clear instructions for using the pattern. Recommended!

I am so impressed with the service which was lightening quick, and of course, after using the patterns Ms Free had published in Inside Crochet magazine I am very happy to have paid for the Uppercase Alphabet patterns and Numbers patterns. I know for a fact that I will have many requests for Name Mobiles or afghans with team names and player numbers. This will help my esty business. I recommend investigating Rainbow Valley Crochet for excellent patterns and quick smooth service.

I am a keen admirer of Helen's patterns, and she is always prepared to assist with any queries which is a godsend. Nothing is too much trouble. Her patterns are accurate, fresh, inspiring and superb value.

If I could give a higher rating, I would. The seller responded to my purchase in a very short period of time and also availed herself to me from the beginning of this smooth transaction. I highly recommend her and hope to do business with her again in the future.

I so agree with everybody here. The patterns are excellent, and so easy to follow, with lots of pictures to help. I have purchased two patterns and been very satisfied.

Very helpful person. I will buy again. Super good instruction. I will buy again.
Kate Hulme
Birmingham
The pattern I bought had several variations, and detailed instructions with photos. I particularly liked the close-ups of what stitches should look like, giving the big picture before going into detail. It ran to several pages, with the text in a friendly, conversational style, encouraging for those nervous of a new technique.

Fantastic patterns, really quickly dispatched by email, they are really easy to follow and finished project looks just like the picture. Really friendly personal site and she has offered to help if I get stuck!
