I don’t know about you, but I am always heartened to see the days slowly lengthening at the start of a year.
Its been January for approximately 5 months, so to be finally into February, and to see dusk and not darkness when I leave the shop, is just lovely. Snowdrops are peeking out from the leaf litter, blackbirds are starting to strut about the garden again, and the winter knits are in full use still. Nothing says cosy like a woolly hat or shawl wrapping you up on a cold day!
There are some new and lovely yarns in store - new Scottish dyers are to be found at Fankle. We are now stocking the Eorsa DK yarn base from Iolair Yarns, a scrumptious mix of Superwash Merino, Yak and Silk (ooh!) and any day now we will be getting some mini bundles in from Henny Penny yarns - can’t wait.
Rainbow bundles are making me think of Spring, my favourite season. The air is full of sunshine, light, new buds and new possibilities - what’s not to love?
And I’ve added Rowan Felted Tweed and Felted Tweed Colour to the website, so you can plan your colourwork for the coming few weeks :)
See you soon x
