5th of July Update Preview (Part 2)
Welcome to part two of tomorrow's update preview! It's just photos of yarn, but I thought the different colour combinations might help you decide (or make it worse!). First of all I did do five batches of Tempo 4ply (superwash wool/nylon) - they are Dandelion, Compost, Coppice, Steel and Antique Rose (which is a surprisingly difficult to photograph colour - it's very pale lilacy pink). Ok and the final hand dyed yarns for the update are all on Oakworth 4ply (100% superwash Polwarth wool). I am really loving this yarn and it seems you are too (it's nice to know...

5th of July Update Preview (Part 1)
On Sunday, we have a lovely big update for you, hopefully at 2pm UK time, assuming I've found a 3G signal at some point before that! There's loads of stuff included, and I won't go through it all, but not pictured here are Original Stripe Quadratic kits, and Aisling kits in Titus 4ply in the two original colour combinations - Rambling Rose/Ice and Whispering Grass/Hibiscus. As always, numbers are very limited. They'll be in the kits section of the website. I will show you the flock though - and it's not just sheep! There are Herdwick ewes, tups, and LAMBS!...

Sheep of Ireland

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,...
