February 2025 Shop Update February 27 2025, 0 Comments

I can't believe it's almost the end of February already! Its been a busy week getting on with 'other' things that hadn't been done before Unravel, and the one I'm most pleased about is I've finally finished (and got the certificate) for the Tech Editing course I've been doing. If you haven't come across tech editing before its the person who checks the pattern after the designer has written it to make sure it works properly for all sizes, is consistent and lots of other things. I can explain more another week if you are interested but basically if you are a designer of patterns for other people it's an important step before releasing your pattern; If you like using patterns that work and are well written its useful to look and see if the pattern you are interested in has been tech edited. If you want more info do drop me an email. 

Otherwise its been half term and the kids were at their Grandparents last week. Back to school this week and already looking forward to the Easter holidays. 

I'm still uploading photos of the new yarns, there are quite a lot of minis this month, but do take a look at the preview page. There's Bonnie, Lustrous, the last of the Sonsie Aran for now, some Enchant and Enchant DK, several Crush semi solids, Lustrous Lace and 2 new sock kits. Read on for more details or jump straight to the preview page below but check back later as I'm still uploading stuff as well.

 Laceweight yarns

Lustrous Lace

A stock up of our lovely 800m per 100g laceweight in 9 colourways, and I will also be adding naked (undyed) to the website soon but I forgot to take a photo as I've had requests for it. It will be on the Lustrous Lace page when its done.

Fingering weight yarns

Bonnie

Bonnie got a lot of attention at Unravel, I think people were surprised by just how silky it feels, with absolutely no silk in the blend at all. I need to get a big sample of this knitted up but I haven't settled on a pattern yet. Do you have a favourite one or two colour drapey shawl you think would look appealing on the stand? I also want to make myself a summery top as I think it will be perfect for that too, but I'm trying not to use it all myself.

Say it with Flowers

Lustrous

Just 4 colourways left of this 50/50 merino silk yarn from Unravel. All named with a tropical holiday in mind - given the weather I have to dream!

Enchant

 

Crush

Mostly semi-solids this time - these are those lovely shades that show off some fancy colourwork or delicate lace without trying to grad the attention away from the real star. They aren't a solid colour as they, like all our yarns, have been dyed by hand but are mostly one colour with a variation in depth. We also reskein all our semi-solids so they wind more easily for you as they are dyed in deeper water and put in and out a few times so they can get a bit messy.

DK Weight Yarns

Mini Skeins

There is a big upload of mini skeins in Coorie (DK), Lustrous, Crush and Bloom (all 4ply) from the last couple of club yarns as well as lots of pops on Crush. Don't forget if you buy 4 mini skeins the 5th is free (All the same price)
