We had such a lovely time at 🥰

Shows are HARD work. 😮‍💨

Weeks of preparation goes into them so actually spending time chatting to likeminded people who get as excited about yarn as I do is the easy bit!

It’s been a strange week here, topping up a few of the popular colourways before hitting the road again to Karelia House this weekend.

There’s no shipping between Thurs 4th June and Mon 8th June.

I’ll do a shop update next week and a live at some point to show you all the new yarns and the popular items from the sample rail so you get some inspiration too even if you can’t be at shows.

I have Samira to thank for not only organising such a wonderful show but also choosing my yarn to design this Selkirk Top. You can find it in the latest issue of and I’m about to put my feet up with my copy right now!

‘Scarlett’

I dyed this yarn while I listened to a podcast about designer Bernat Klein. It’s by the Grainne Rice and I particularly loved hearing that Bernat was such a colour perfectionist that sometimes the textiles he produced had to match one specific leaf he’d found. He sounds like my kind of person! 👋

This colourway is strong, punchy and matches the rhododendrons in my garden. But it’s really inspired by his oil painting Scarlett II.

has designed a special shawl for and has encouraged us to create kits inspired by Bernat Klein’s use of colour - I hope this meets the brief!

See you at Tangled this Friday and Saturday!

(Ps - No shipping while I’m away and I’ll have limited access to messages)

This yarn base is truly phenomenal…

1200 metres of delicate cobweb lace…

50% Baby Suri Alpaca
30% Extra Fine Merino
20% Silk

I’m using it to knit my first Shetland Lace - Mrs Hunter’s Shawl

Laceweight yarn is always a hit or a miss at shows but I have a gorgeous bundle to take with me to Tangled and then Karelia House the week after.

🌸Monet 🌺

I’ve dyed a brand new colourway that has been swirling around in my head for months.

I’ll be taking lots of different yarn bases in this colourway to but there’s also a Pre Order on the website so I can dye it on what ever yarn base you choose. (Delivery will be around mid June)

Ps… I’m casting on a sample tonight
