A new direction

18/2/2013

 
As if I didn't have enough to do to get ready for all the events listed below, I recently went to see my pal Marie to learn the art of dyeing yarn/fibre and am pleased to say, took to it like a duck to water!  I'll be posting some pictures of my hand spun, hand dyed yarns before the weekend, so come back to see what I've been up to!  

Briefly though, my fibres of choice to dye are hand spun humbugs - so that's a mix of brown, white, grey and black fleeces from as many type of sheep as I could lay my hands on - including Jacobs, Shetland, Icelandic, Finnish, Corriedale, & Blue-faced Leicester, then some Herdwick & Swaledale too, all in 25 gram hanks, some singles, some plied yarns all beautiful colours on a rich backdrop of natural fibres...

I'll be publishing the teddy bear pattern and putting together some kits of my hand spun yarn and stuffing fibres to sell at future events.  Some  teddies for sale will be appearing here on my website soon.  If you want a bear making in a specific yarn or colour, just drop me a line using the contact form here. 

Starting price from £40 plus postage costs - that's a hand spun, hand knit, pure wool bear, stuffed with washed and carded lambswool.  Luxury bears will also be available in cashmere, alpaca, yak, camel....

    I've been knitting and designing for a long time and don't think I'm going to stop anytime soon.  The inspiration just keeps coming, there is always a new technique to learn, a new yarn to try out and so many knitters out there in the world sharing their tips and secrets that it's sometimes hard to know what to do next.
