We’ve some new colours on our Merino & Mohair base for Yarndale@home this weekend. From the back is Summer Light, Calypso and Naiad.
@yarndale have just released their schedule of Zoom talks for the weekend. Tickets are £5 each and all proceeds go to Martin House which provides hospice care for children and young people.

It’s Yarndale@home this weekend and we’ve been busy checking the website and making sure everything is up to date. Fingers crossed it behaves itself.

I’ve added more of the gently fluffy merino and mohair single. Here’s Twig, Red Wing and Milk & Honey.

Nicola is setting up her stall at Thread Festival

Nicola is setting up her stall at Thread Festival on Saturday at Farnham Maltings, her first time out at a show alone!
If you’d like to see her smiley face (honest she is smiling under the mask) or any of the other lovely textile exhibitors, tickets are £6.50 and must be bought in advance.
She’ll have lots of soft BFL Masham with her and I’ve spent my day making little sample cards for safe squishing.

I’ve added a few minis to the website.
These will add a touch of autumn to a natural grey or cream.
Might have to knit quickly though, it was a bit nippy this morning.

This is Nori a new colour on our BFL Masham base and available in both the 4ply and DK weights.
On the website - if it’s working - how I hate updates, it’s been a head in hands sort of a day.
