Fuchsia Friday
Following my last colour-themed post, when I noticed more yarn/flower colour matching happening in the garden, of course I had to play again. This time it's all about the pink. First up.. The yarn is BFL Sock in Alpine (for Kathy's Knits in Edinburgh) - it's named for the bright pinks of many alpines, e.g. saxifrage, pincushion flowers, and... That being said I have none in flower right now (just given the saxifrage a hair cut), so here it is along with sweet peas: Hydrangea (this one belonged to my Grandma and is older than me): And begonia...

News!
I have news! You may have already seen this message on social media, as I have just posted it, but in case you haven't: I am announcing that we are releasing our next collection soon! All I'm going to say for now is that it is quite large, we've been working on it for most of the year, and it's due out in September....

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! Here's a preview and peek behind the scenes of what we've sent. It's a picture-heavy post, so may take a few minutes to load up, but hopefully the yarn p*cough*orn is worth the wait. ;)

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!...
