June's update preview

Posted: June 12, 2017

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.

So.. I'm sure you'll have heard about Joji Locatelli's latest MKAL - the Starting Point wrap. It requires five colours of yarn, which is great for stashbusting unless like me your extensive stash is surprisingly uncohesive and you're therefore struggling to actually put five things together. Anyway, I'm normally very very behind with things like this (I'm talking years behind), so here's a surprise - we have put together some yarn packs for you for this MKAL and it's before the start date! Granted only just, but it still counts. I'll start by saying these are in the kits section...

Posted: March 20, 2017

So the day is finally here! We are very pleased to announce that our new shopify website is now up and running. Although we have worked through several scenarios with the developers, it is possible (and somewhat expected) that we may encounter some teething problems. Please bear with us during this time and let us know if you have any issues. As people generally do not like change, we wanted to make this process as smooth as possible for all our lovely customers. With this in mind, below is a handy guide to help you to navigate through the website....
