Classic Sock and Rustic sock in There be Dragons and Jewelled Beetle, then a little bit of fluffy Mohair and Silk Lace. Good for projects large or small.

All we want at the moment is to knit REALLY small projects. So we’ve added a new colourway to our #seraphmitts kits. It includes the pattern and four fabulous balls of Jamieson and Smith 2ply Jumper Weight. Enough to knit two pairs if you switch the colours around.

The weather has cooled - hurrah. It’s just right for a days pootling at Summer Wool festival in Bedfordshire. Parking is a breeze and there’s loads of outdoor space for picnicking.
We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone.
There is a discount on tickets booked in advance.
