Fresh of the needles for #fairilsefriday Louise’

Fresh of the needles for #fairilsefriday Louise’s #katieskep this years Shetland Wool Week hat by Wilma Malcolmson. It’s knitted in our stock of #jamiesonandsmith colours. There are four colour ways to choose from on the pattern if choosing puts your head in a spin. The pattern is free but as times are uncertain you can make a small donation should you want.

We’ve just added the pattern for Miss Havisham mittens to Ravelry. They have been ably tested and vetted by the talented #yarnandfloss and #edelweiss_knits...and Louise, naturally. So if you fancy trying out a small closed loop cable project give them a go. They are knit in our hand dyed #ainsworthandprin Classic Sock yarn, the blue is Whirlpool and the pink Dianthus. Video tutorials may be coming shortly- if we can work it out!

In times of uncertainty Louise has turned to a lit

In times of uncertainty Louise has turned to a little light housekeeping.
To clear a shelf or two we are having a mini sale of Coop Knits Sock Yeah! Reduced from £5.45 to £3 for 50g. Also our own hand dyed #ainsworthandprin Alpaca and Silk Laceweight, now a bargain £10/100g.
All UK orders will now go by 1st Class post on Tuesdays and Fridays for the same price as the previous daily 2nd Class post. We hope this will minimise Louise’s trips to the village. International deliveries are tracked and signed for and no change in price. Find details on the delivery page.

Some new sock sets have been added to the website

Some new sock sets have been added to the website and just to let you know while the village Post Office is open we’re still sending out parcels.
If you’d like your order to be left in a safe place or prefer not to sign for it just leave a message in the box at the checkout and if you’d like a little chat about gardening put that in there too. I’m already going a bit stir crazy.
As you have possibly heard Wonderwool Wales has been cancelled and we feel really sorry for Chrissie and the team who must have put in so much hard work already, we’re sending out virtual hugs and cake.
I’m looking at this as an opportunity to use up all those half packets of ingredients I bought and my lousy housekeeping skills pushed to the back of the cupboard.
Be very afraid @textilegarden I’ve bought some very novelty ingredients in my time!
They’re coming your way.

My favourite combination from the weekend.
Just what is it going to be?
Always the question when you’re a nosey parcel packer.

On the left is Tide my new favourite colour. I think I dyed it on every base for Unravel and it all sold. It’s with Seaspray and another new addition, Twilight.
