What George Knits – 100g of Tjukk
Is scarf season getting closer? Even if it’s a while off a quick, satisfying and simple project is often a welcome break to the more complicated projects we might be tempted by. I’m always intrigued to see how far I can get from 100g of yarn not only because it is good for customers in…

Come ply with me…
With this post I’m looking at plying and a few different characteristics it gives to yarns. In its simplest forms ply means the number of strands of yarn twisted together and ply can be used to describe the thickness of yarn. For example a 4-ply being thicker than a 2-ply as it has more strands…

Tessellated by Andrea Mowry – Colour Inspiration

I just couldn’t resist some Vivacious colour combos…
Like the title of this blog post says I just couldn’t resist some Vivacious colour combinations. Since we had a big restock of Fyberspates Vivacious and the new Vivacious Botanical I have kept taking them off the wall and laying them next to each other in all sorts of combinations. Every day I come in…

What Maya Knits – Tessellated Vest
As most of you know by now, my knitting time is so precious to me – firstly as it is very limited, secondly because with time I’ve become slow. With this I noticed a change in my focus, where the end result used to be the main goal, it is now all about the process,…

Back to Black
As spring has sprung and the days are getting longer dark yarn has become a little less intimidating. Black yarn has a mixed reception amongst crafters, it looks so beautiful and chic knitted up but it sure is tricky on the eyes. Absorbing every little bit of light making fine intricate stitches almost impossible to…

New Yarn – Black Elephant Corriedale
New yarn is hanging on the hand dyed wall of the shop and that is always an exciting moment. Not only because I get so tempted to cast on a completely new project but it looks great. It’s calling to me from across the shop as I sit here and write this, ‘knit me, knit…
