The Drift Collection... four years on! We revisit an ECY classic.
Today marks four years since the release of our Drift Collection! Can you believe it?! I know some of you will have been involved in test-knitting for it and will know how big a deal it was for us.

And for US customers, you can pre-order Oakworth DK (or order from their current stock) from Yarn Culture, which I am in the middle of dyeing right now....
