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.

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!

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....

Last week's colour inspiration
Whilst I work I'm constantly snapping away on my phone when new colour combinations pop up - whether that's in the sink for a soak, or hung up on the drying rack. So I thought I'd share a few instead of just hording them on my phone! By the way, some of these are on the website, some are not (because they're off to retailers). Above: Rambling Rose (left) and Dark Oak (right). Above: Steel (top), Geum (middle/left), Wild Raspberry (middle/right), Rambling Rose (front/left), Linen (front/right).
