It is always lovely to see the beautiful things people create using our yarns but this version of our Stol wrap looks particularly gorgeous in a pale silvery grey. Designed by Fiona Drake and knitted by it looks and feels really special.

Just arrived back home after a long but lovely day Popup Wool Show. It’s been great!

A big thank you to everyone who spent time talking all things yarn and alpacas (always two of my favourite topics) and to Coastal Colours for organising such a relaxed and friendly show. It’s one I always look forward to!

After the best week with family, it’s time to get the dye pots on again and lots of skein winding and labelling done for the Popup Wool Show in Port Sunlight next Saturday. But before I start, it’s lovely to spend a little time just watching…

From fleece to blanket in 4 days!

This is the fifth year at the Great Yorkshire Show and what a brilliant week we had! Using local masham fleece from a farm within a mile of our home and zwartbles fleece from just a few miles away Rawlinshaw Farm we carded, spun and knitted during the show to create our Tree of Life lap blanket designed by Fiona Drake.

Based in the Fleece tent we talked to so many people about the processes involved, the beautiful colours of natural fibres, and what a valuable resource wool really is with so many and varied uses - and had the best time together doing it too.

Just an amazing week all round.
