Revisiting Noro Silk Garden Lite
I started writing this blog post when we relaunched the shop last year as Noro Silk Garden Lite was one of the yarns we reintroduced. But the yarn didn't last long enough for me to finish it, as they were all snapped up by eager knitters. Silk Garden Lite is back so this is a perfect time to take a...

Fibre Talk - Merino
This post was originally written by Natalie Selles and published on our blog back in 2015. The Fibre Friday posts have now been edited to reflect our current selection of yarns, under the new heading Fibre Talk. This week we are talking about merino wool. Merino wool! you may say, That's not a summer yarn. It's all sheepy and warm...

What Maya and George Knits - Camisole No.5
George's Orange One I can't quite remember what came first. Was it Maya's blog post Summer Knits in June 2022 or when a customer came in looking for yarn to knit the Camisole No.5. But either way we were both hooked on the idea of knitting Camisole No.5 by My Favourite Things and especially knitting it in Fyberspates Scrumptious 4ply...

Virtual Knit Night May 11th
Can you believe it? I'd almost lost hope, but yes it is true, the sun is out and spring IS HERE! I feel it immediately makes such a difference on the general mood surrounding us - there is a little skip in people's step, a smile on their faces, and over all the 'soul of the city' turns brighter and...

Time for a New Project - Brioche O'Clock
If you are a knitter and one of your best friends is a renowned designer, you tend to believe that everything they come up with is extraordinary. But you see, with my friend it is different, because everything that woman touches turns to gold, she really IS a designer extraordinaire! Julie – true Colour Combo Magician and Queen of Brioche...

Virtual Knit Night April 13th
So the last few months of winter turned to be quite eventful and did provide a bit more drama than what I would have asked for. There was this wave of unforeseen stuff that just kept on landing in my lap, and unfortunately the consequences were not one but two cancelled Virtual Knit Nights. I am so looking forward to...

Inspired by Flowers
Springtime has got me dreaming of flowers. Blossoms on the trees, daffodils popping up in the borders and even my tulips are starting to peek their heads up out of the ground, waiting to give me a vibrant display. So all this flower potential in spring has got me thinking of yarns that take their colour names and inspiration from...

Spring Clean your Notions
I'm really excited about spring, it's starting to feel just a little bit warmer. Which means I have moved from the heaviest jumpers to braving a sleeveless tank top when I come to work (over a shirt that is, I'm not quite ready for short sleeves yet!). My knitwear is migrating into a more spring like feel and I'm pleased...

On Maya's Needles
I'm living in the hope of spring arriving soon, but at the moment this seems like a distant dream. The weather is London is horrible at the moment, as a Norwegian I shouldn't complain - but seriously this is cold! Currently on my needles (those active ones, there is no denying I've got other projects hibernating ...) are two projects...
