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.

A few neutrals
I just thought I'd share a few of my neutrals with you (since noticing I have most of them in stock for a change).. 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! Thankyou for your patience whilst we've been away at Edinburgh Yarn Festival which was quickly followed by a trip to a&e, causing us to be out of action for about ten days. We'll be posting last week's orders on Tuesday.

Tips for Visiting Shows
After years of visiting shows as a customer and vendor, and contributing to other peoples' show advice guides, I thought it might finally be time to compile my own.

Hopefully these tips will help you get the best out of your trip. Set off early: Look up your route and how long it's going to take. Add extra time for the potential queue getting into the carpark and getting into...
Spring?!
It's still cold, but the bulbs are coming up, and the days are longer and lighter.. So I thought today's little yarn inspiration gallery should be pale colours. Here you go: The colours are (L-R): Top - Blossom Row 2 - Natural and Misty Woods Row 3 - Ice, Apricot Tulip and Air Bottom - Geum, Dahlia, Spring Buds, and Dianthus There's a handy search function on the ECY website: The search results show up as you type: Press 'return' to get this view: Just click on the titles for more yarn info.
