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...

Loop fans will be happy to hear we have just sent off a lovely big parcel for Loop London. And the exciting thing is that it includes a good range of Hayton 4ply, which is new to Loop. This base is merino/cashmere/nylon 4ply, with about 380yds to each 100g skein. It's very soft and smooshy.   Here's a sneak peak from behind the scenes of dyeing and processing it all.

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. ;)
