Wensleydale – New Yarn from Black Elephant
Another exciting new yarn from Black Elephant has arrived. This time in the form of 100% British Wensleydale wool. We have noticed a big trend in the appreciation of British wools.

Sweater Weather yet?
Right, so, I do actually like heat – but his year it seems to be getting to me. My body has turned to syrup, my mind is mush, I don’t seem to be able to form one coherent line of thought, and everything goes so slowly, even the easiest of tasks takes for ever to…

Temperatures and knitting urges are sadly not the only thing rising these days, the cost of living has…
