Littlefair's Best of 2023: A Year in Review

As we bid farewell to another incredible year at Littlefair's, it's time to reflect on the highlights of 2023. This year, we've witnessed some remarkable trends and customer favourites that have truly shaped the woodworking landscape. From our newly popular Tools & Accessories to our best-selling dyes and finishing products, here's a glimpse of what made 2023 a memorable year for us.

Tools & Accessories: The Unsung Heroes

In 2022, we introduced a range of "Tools & Accessories" designed to assist your woodworking projects. These essentials quickly became the unsung heroes of our product lineup. Among them, the Eco-Union™ Ecobrushes shone the brightest. Available in sizes 2” and 4”, these high-quality brushes are carefully handcrafted and manufactured in Britain using sustainable materials. Your enthusiasm for these tools has reaffirmed our commitment to providing the best in class throughout our entire product range.

Dyes that Dazzled: The Triumph of Driftwood Grey, Black Ebony, and Medium Oak

Throughout 2023, our Water Based Wood Dyes shone brilliantly. Driftwood Grey, Black Ebony, and Medium Oak emerged as the top choices for our customers. These dyes have breathed life into countless projects, from furniture to crafts. We've been thrilled to witness your ingenious use of these colours, transforming wood into works of art.

Matte Perfection: Extra Strong Matt Varnish and Titan Topcoat Matt

Finishes can make or break a project - our Extra Strong Matt Varnish and Titan Topcoat have been the secret ingredients behind many of our customer success stories. The popularity of matt finishes soared in 2023 and our products, renowned for their durability and smooth, velvety texture, have taken centre stage. You've chosen these finishes to protect and enhance your creations, and we're proud to have played a part in your masterpieces. 

ALSO – we’ve noticed some of our customers have been using our Extra Strong Varnishes to finish and protect their paintings…great to know that our products are ideal not only for wood but also for adding a protective and enduring finish to your cherished artwork!


As we conclude this journey through the best of 2023, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you, our loyal customers. Your trust, creativity, and dedication to woodworking inspire us every day.
