I’ve just added some gorgeous new hand dyed variegated sock yarns to the shop, including some brand new colourways! I’m pretty busy prepping for Unravel Autumn next week (very excited to see you there!) but I’ve managed to get these lovely yarns photographed, so go and take a look 👀

I’ve topped up the Bouclé DK with a couple of shades! Which is your fave? Lovely teal and turquoise Sea Shimmer is new to this base, as you’ve all been pretty fond of it on my other yarns, and the beautiful variegated jade, green, teal, pink and purple Sea Pixie has been restocked! #Knitting

Today’s colour combo is all about soft greens with a pop of colour! This is Aglow Singles in New Leaf (a dark lush, leafy green), Sage (a cool soft green), and Grape (a soft cool purple). What would you make with these colours? #Knitting

That’s another pair of socks finished. The pattern is Grellow Love by Clare Devine, and the yarn is @lottieknits.bsky.social Fledgling sock in Amethyst Phoenix. These socks are so soft, the yarn is rather lovely indeed. They are also incredibly comfy, there’s a reason I go back to this pattern.

A customer favourite, New Leaf is back tonight! Like the other shades in this update, New Leaf is dyed on my high twist merino nylon sock yarn, Little Bird Sock. It’s great for socks, but it’s also really versatile and would work for most projects that need 4ply weight yarn. #Knitting
