Virtual Knit Night April 11th
It is a bloody miracle, isn’t it? But yes, I do have a FO – a Finished Object – a project completed. Currently blocking on my dining table, I am well pleased with how my Tessellated Vest came out using the Black Elephant Wensleydale. Don’t you just love it when an experiment actually work!!! I…

Cumulus &
Cumulus is one of my favourite fuzzy yarns we have in the shop and we have expanded the range. With a great selection of jewel like colours there has never been a better time to try out this yarn. Cumulus is wonderful just on its own but it is also great combined with a whole host of…

Recommended Yarn Third Edition – Part One
It has been a little while since my last recommended yarn post so I thought it was an about time I had another look through what has come out since the last one. If you haven’t seen the recommended yarn posts before the theme is to look at designs that have been written exactly for…

Virtual Knit Night March 14th
Oh you know that feeling right, where it’s almost like you can taste it (although putting a mouthful of fibre-fluff into your mouth is not recommended), nearly done, just a few more rounds and it is done! This is me now, I’m so close, I’m actually considering leaving George at the shop by himself so…

Inspiration for Mazurka by Becci Pamely-Bast
We love Riverknits and we had a great time catching up at Unravel a couple of weekends ago with Becci and Markus who are behind the Riverknits Chimera we stock. Becci was wearing the most amazing jumper knit in Chimera that was catching everyones attention. That jumper is the Mazurka by Becci herself and the…

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…

Virtual Knit Night February 8th
Like seriously! Where did this morning disappear to? I came in with a plan, and now half a day later it doesn’t seems to have moved at all. My favourite word for this feeling is discombobulated. Discombobulate kind of sounds like you feel when you’re disoriented: bouncing around in several directions at once – which…

What would you pick?
Admittedly, having half of our delivery disappear into nothingness, circling the earth and some, just to get from Norway to the UK, does put a damper on an otherwise insanely exciting launch! However, as my Nan used to say, those who are waiting for something good will never wait in vain. Our wonderfully lush delivery…

Virtual Knit Night January 11th
With the last virtual before Christmas cancelled, it feels like we haven’t seen each other in like ‘forever’. Admittedly, running a yarn shop at that time of year is incredibly stressful, a lot of fun, but very hectic. BUT then comes calm and ease, when you finally find yourself on the sofa with days off…
