@walthamabbeywool is over but we still have 10% off everything in the shop until midnight or 7ish tomorrow if I haven’t set it up correctly.
Thanks to Kate, Diana and the team who have worked so hard to put the show on. I must admit I’ve sort of missed Diana directing traffic in the snow and gloom of an Essex morning.

There’ve been sharp words with the computer and Instagram but finally here’s a clip from the video we produced for @walthamabbeywool, well slideshow really as Louise and I are in different counties! Take a look at the exhibitors page on the Waltham Abbey Wool Show website for the full length video. There are some great exhibitors lined up and live Facebook events.
We have 10%off everything today with code WAWS2021
Going to lie down now to get the music out of my overheated brain!

Nicola said I have to stop dyeing rusts and yellows.
I said I would.
I lied.
But just look at them in their fluffiness.

On Sunday @walthamabbeywool goes virtual and we’re really excited to virtually be there. We’re not brave enough to join in the Zoom marketplace or the Facebook live (you really wouldn’t appreciate the swearing) but they have a lot of other exhibitors lined up and we have managed a sort of video for their website which goes live on Sunday.
They also have a Meet the Designer and a Podcaster’s Lounge with a brilliant line up and tickets can be bought from the WAWS website, where you’ll also find a link to the show charity @knitforpeace

Friday, you seem to have taken your time getting here.
I’m on silent running at the moment having lost my computer to remote teaching but on the plus side I’m learning quite a bit about Roman gods and I have a new hat that I can work on while hiding in the kitchen #hestihat by @ellagordondesigns
For once I had nearly all of the suggested colours
