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...
Welcome to the shiny new ECY website!
So the day is finally here! We are very pleased to announce that our new shopify website is now up and running.

DK Surprise
We've not had much DK for a while so I thought it might be time to rectify that! Our schedule is slowly getting back on track as we make our way through the huge back log of work, hence the smaller-than-usual updates. Hopefully next year will be less disrupted.

Club news!
I'm sure you've all heard of Indie Untangled, the fabulous newsletter and blog aimed at promoting indie yarn businesses..? Well Lisa runs an annual club, which includes exclusive yarn and pattern pairings. And.. ECY is in the 2017 one! It's called Where We Knit and I'm teamed up with Mindy Wilkes, whose work I love and you can see on Ravelry HERE. We chose this sunrise image, which you may recognise from my Instagram feed, because we agreed that we both tend to knit in the early mornings. So for more information you need to go HERE , and suffice to...
