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. My Instagram feed does feature the pretty stuff, but behind the scenes life is full of the usual pressures, plus there's all the hard work that running any business involves. That's Titus 4ply in Grace, above. It's a new shade of light...

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.

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.

Yesterday I was in the main office/stockroom and noticed a few purples near to each other, which took my fancy. So today I give you: a gallery of purple yarn.     From left to right (above) they are: Whitfell Chunky in Damson; Malham DK in Salvia; Derwent 4ply in Salvia; Tempo DK in Buddleja; Bowland DK in Buddleja; Milburn 4ply skein in Damson; Milburn 4ply ball in Damson; and Theseus Lace in Salvia.     And of course, they're all over at the ECY website. Or at least they are until they sell out. Then they may or may not be. ...

Happy news! The Whitfell DK in Steel is finally here. We have to label it all, and then the pre-ordered yarn will go out tomorrow morning..    ..The rest of the remaining yarn will be in Sunday's update at 12 noon. I have a very limited quantity, and I'm not sure how long it'll take to get more.     So.. I'd better crack on with the labelling!
