The BFL Masham base is soft enough to wear next to your skin.
Here are Ink, Robin’s Egg and undyed finally and finely balanced.

The first of the new colours for the BFL Masham base in both the DK and 4ply weight is Damson Gin, here with Ointment and undyed. It’s a lovely woolly, non superwash base that’s perfect for colour work.

Yarn stacking is not as easy as you might think.
There are some new colours coming in our BFL Masham, if I can get them to stay still!

Swatching for a new design, a real test for my teeny tiny maths free brain.

A little pot of Loquat leaves, simmered and left to stand overnight and then heated again with some BFL.
I went back to the courtyard again today and picked some more to try on some full skeins.

Navy Lark, Finistere and Shipping Forecast on our British Blue Faced Leicester. I just love these blues.

If you’ve just had a new grandson called Teddy, please look away now.

The party season is almost on us, but the shame and humiliation when you read at the bottom of the card 'Evening Dress - Decorations' .
Well our first thoughts would be reindeer headband and tinsel but we have for a modest fee Knitters Medals- Peerage not included.
Making the most of wool the Union Flag tea cosy is made from an old felted blanket. We've been known to wear that too!
