Summer thoughts

12/8/2015

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted here - I must apologise for the lack of updates but it's been a very busy summer so far and the yarn steamers have been getting lots of use!

Since my last post we've had great shows at Proper Woolly in Devon, Fibre-East in Befordshire and, last weekend, the British Wool Show at York. We've met lots of lovely customers and sold oodles of gorgeous yarn, some of which has already started to appear in projects on Ravelry.

We've added our new Mulberry Silk lace and 4-ply yarns to our show stock and some of these should be appearing in the webstore next week, after our return from the Popup Wool Show in Chester, assuming they don't all get snapped up - they proved very popular at York last weekend!

The third quarterly yarn club of the year, Mountains and Moorlands, is now up and running and the first skein has been despatched to subscribers.  I really loved the first colour and will be dyeing some more for myself, and adding it to our general stock shortly.

I'm also busy designing a new mystery knitalong which should hopefully be ready for launch on Ravelry by the end of September. Not a shawl this time but a little top, ideal for autumn layering. Watch this space for more details.
