Shop - Sold Out!

Just a quickie to let you know that all the stock in my shop has sold! I will most likely restock in a month or two, when the weather isn't quite as miserable (and I can open all the windows to dry the yarn quicker!).

If you'd like to be notified of the update you can either look out for an announcement here, or leave a comment and request to be added to my mailing list :)

Winter Sale!

Just a quick post to say 2 things - Firstly, I have a winter sale on! Existing stock has been reduced to clear space for spring colourways. Click here to view! Please note that I won't be able to ship any purchases until Monday 29th December.

Secondly, have a very Merry Christmas! I'll most likely blog at some point over the next few days to tell you all about the awesome present I bought Ross :)

Shop Update - Coming Soon

Before I head up to Milton Keynes for G&L's wedding, I just wanted to let you all know that there will be a shop update in the next week or two. Keep your eyes peeled for some gorgeous kettle dyed yarns! For a little taster, here's some that I custom dyed for Erqsome:

We have a winner!

Congratulations to the winner of my competition: Anna! She wins a skein of my yarn in Electric Feel - the colourway of her choice.

The winner was chosen using this random number generator.

A big thank you to everyone that entered! Your comments are much appreciated and will be put to use when I do my next batch of yarn.

What else has been happening round these parts? Oh yeah, I finished my February Lady Sweater!

 

Pattern: February Lady Sweater by Pamela Wynne
Yarn: Rowan Magpie Aran - recycled from an ill-fitting project knitted 4 years ago

I LOVE this cardigan! It's so nice to finally have a wearable FO (that isn't socks or scarves or hats). It will be perfect over my fancy dress at G&L's wedding in 3 weeks time.  I plan to wear it to I Knit Day too.

Hope you're all having a lovely bank holiday weekend!

1 day to go!

Don't forget, the competition closes tomorrow! If you haven't entered yet, make sure you do before 8pm (BST)!

I'll announce the winner on Sunday!

Competition!

To welcome my new shop into the world, I am holding a competition!

 

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me what type of colourways (eg solid, semi-solid, variegated) and what fibre content you normally buy (eg merino, merino/tencel, merino/nylon). I will close comments at 8pm BST on Saturday 23rd August. Please ensure you enter your e-mail address and name so that I can contact you if you win! (E-mail addresses will not be displayed or used for any other purpose.)

The winner will be chosen randomly and will win a skein of my sock yarn in their choice of Lavender, Spring River, Electric Feel or Strawberries and Cream!

I will announce the winner on Sunday 24th August. Good luck!

Taking the plunge...

This is what I've been doing all week!

I've taken small baby steps into selling my own hand dyed yarn! Only 12 skeins available at the moment - I thought I would start off small and see how it goes...
