Order dispatch: Loop

Loop fans will be happy to hear we have just sent off a lovely big parcel for Loop London. And the exciting thing is that it includes a good range of Hayton 4ply, which is new to Loop. This base is merino/cashmere/nylon 4ply, with about 380yds to each 100g skein. It's very soft and smooshy.   Here's a sneak peak from behind the scenes of dyeing and processing it all. As always, the images may take a few minutes to load, a they're high res and straight off my camera, but hoeofully the yarny goodness is worthwhile.            ...

Order dispatch: Yarn Culture

Many of you will know that Yarn Culture in NY is our flagship US stockist, and you may be interested to see what we have in store for them, when it hopefully arrives safely there! Here's a preview and peek behind the scenes of what we've sent. It's a picture-heavy post, so may take a few minutes to load up, but hopefully the yarn p*cough*orn is worth the wait. ;)                     


Sheep of Ireland

Sheep of Ireland

We were in Ireland (Valley of the Hare near Sneem - hugely recommended) last week.. There were lots of sheep, and I found myself sort of cataloging them. Yes, I know how to live. I shared some on social media but there are more, so here's a gallery of them (including our fluctuating and naughty garden flock). If any are blurry it's because they're phone snaps. Enjoy!                                                                                       To finish, here's a little mountain hare next to the house....

This week at ECY Towers

As always, it's been another busy week here at ECY Towers (a small 70s brick house).    We finished and sent some heaps of yarn off to Loop in London - Bowland DK, Titus 4ply, and Theseus Lace.       We nearly finished an order for Yarnaholic Japan, which includes Theseus Lace, Titus 4ply, and Titus DK.           After stormy weather, we finally got a glorious sunny day yesterday.    We had a really exciting delivery from Yuki aka Wood Works Crando in Japan (more on that soon... There are LAMBS!).        And we welcomed wonderful new stockist,...
