Rambling Rose
This is exactly the kind of rose I had in mind when I designed my Rambling Rose colourway; several years ago now. It's not in my garden but once I do start on it I will want something like this. It's just so pretty. One of my dye pigments has recently significantly changed - without warning from the manufacturer. I just noticed the first time I used it. So over the past couple of months I've had to tweak loads of my recipes, and that includes Rambling Rose, because although it may look like a simple pink it's actually a...
June's update preview
Seeing as our next update is on the 15th of June (7pm) and it's now the 12th I thought I'd best post the update preview! It's all Tempo 4ply, which is our superwash wool/nylon sock yarn. It knits up softly with good drape for shawls, but it's also incredibly hardwearing for socks and kids' clothes. I made my Boxy in it, and you can see a whole gallery of Tempo 4ply projects on the blog HERE. There are quite a few Cottage Originals in this update, and dyelots are five or ten skeins. In no particular order... I will list...

The EYF hangover
I have to be honest: I’m still reeling from Edinburgh Yarn Festival at the weekend. I know it’s cliched but it was just so nice. There were so many different accents/languages being spoken and yet it felt like everyone was happily sharing this wonderful experience and so it didn’t matter that there might be a language barrier. In all the people we had through our stall we only had one person be rude – I think that’s a record, particularly given how insanely busy it was. If you’ve never been to EYF it is well worth travelling and queuing for...
July Update Preview
Hello, Here's a preview of this Sunday's update for you - I hope it's useful! There are links to the pages where the yarns will be in case you want to bookmark them ready. The homepage is http://www.edencottageyarns.com And if you'd like an email reminder (it goes out at the same time as the update goes live at 12 noon UK time) you can join the newsletter HERE. A wee note: as many of you will already know, updates sell out fast. And my website DOES NOT have a shopping cart hold function; therefore when you add yarn to your...
