Shop update
Oooh, the shop is updated and full of lots and lots of nice treats for you. We have some new colours of aran weight silk, some new handspun yarn from Miss Bell all with free hat patterns, beautiful handspun yarn from Felt Studio and the most amazingly gorgeous knitting needle cases from The Devil Makes Work For Idle Hands. I have favourites in each section and I've given myself a certain amount of time for them to sell before I'm going to snap them up myself. Don't tell Wayne though, OK?

Cashmere scarf anyone?
Just look what Maeve made from the skein of cashmere sock yarn that she was gifted from Ally Pally last year?
Using the short row rib scarf pattern on MagKnits and 1 skein of cashmere she ended up with a scarf that from the looks of it is about 13 foot long! So long in fact that you could easily make 2 from 1 skein.
The site will be updated at long last tomorrow. I've had a few camera issues but should all be OK now. I'll spend some time today making all of the thumbnails and then update the site in the morning. I have so many beautiful new yarns I can't wait to get them up on the site!

Malabrigio on its way!
Oooh, I just heard that my first shipment of Malabrigio yarn has left Uraguay and is on its way to HipKnits. Depending on how long it takes to get to me I may debut it at the open weekend and then get the remainder on the website afterwards. Yummy..

new Handspun
I have some new Handspun hat kits from Miss Bell as well as some brand new yarns from Daniella over at Felt Studio to get up on the site today. I alos have a few more of the merino / nylon sock yarns ready to go so if I have time I'll upload them as well.
You'll all be glad to know that I dyed lots and lots of cashmere sock yarn yesterday as well as 8 new variegated shades of the aran weight silk so they should all be up on the site next week, as long as they dry in time that is. There will be more cashmere snippets on the sale page over the next few weeks, it was a lot of fun watching them all sell out so quickly when I put them up earlier this week!
