Firstly, we've not been able to get our superwash wool/nylon blend, Tempo 4ply, for absolutely ages, but finally it is back. Here's one of each colour: There's everybody's favourite: Titus 4ply. Here's one of each colour: Another one that's returned after not being available for a while is Pendle 4ply, which is soft, squidgy merino. It's technically machine washable, though I would really recommend that you try it. Here's one of each colour: I've also done a limited quantity...
This week..
Since this week has been particularly busy and stressful, but has included so much yarn, I thought I'd best share it with the world. It'd be rude not to, really. It's been gloriously sunny for a lot of the week. I've been dyeing a large volume of yarn, as well as dealing with a load of other stuff.

Top: Linen and Natural Second row down: Whispering Grass and Driftwood Third row down: Compost, Bark and Stone Bottom row: Silver Birch, Slate, Ash and Steel That's all!

We'll be posting last week's orders on Tuesday.

ECY news
I have happy news today which I'm excited to share with you: following a lot of correspondence and number crunching, I've got us better pricing on our mill dyed yarns - as in the cost of them to us.
