July Inspiration
July has been very rainy, and the colours outside are getting increasingly jewel-toned. It feels like it's been a long month, somehow - the pictures at the top here seem like I took them ages ago, and that philadelphus in the third photo is looooong gone at this point. The eschscholzia on the other hand, along with many others, is still going strong.. Which is nice.

Order dispatch: Loop
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.

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...
