Antje excitedly clutching some samples can only mean one thing - brand new yarn incoming!

I'll leave you with this wee teaser while I wait for the delivery to arrive, but this one is pretty special! A completely new to us brand, who are pretty new to the market and VERY innovative in what they're doing. And what they're doing is making stunning yarn.
