December Update Yarn
Today's post is just a preview of tomorrow's update.. After such a grey and wet Autumn, a little colour is welcome.

Yey for grey!
Happy news! The Whitfell DK in Steel is finally here.

New yarn!

I'm trying to bring more neutral shades into our mill dyed yarn ranges, and if you're wondering why I didn't do that in the first place, well I just didn't have enough shades to choose to be able to fit in all the neutrals I would like! I felt I had to go for maybe one neutral, but the rest should be not-neutral. These days I might have had the confidence to pick...

August didn't half go quickly, did it?! September is our busiest month, what with collection release, Yarn in the City (this Sat), and Yarndale... This yarn is all for Yarndale.. And it's not the half of it.. Talking of Yarndale, a couple of things - 1. We'll be on stand 11.. it's along the long wall, nearest to the knit & natter lounge, and we're behind Texere. 2. Time to announce that as well as our own collection, we're hosting Louise Zass-Bangham's new collection! She'll be on our stand with her books and patterns, and we will have...
