New Yarn - Countess Ablaze Rebel Batch Resist & Hope
The last time I saw Countess Ablaze was back in February at the Unravel Festival. We were so lucky to be stand neighbours, and in between managing our stands we hung out in the back chatting, laughing, ranting, putting the world straight (as one do). “I always plan to be sensible when I see you, I said, to plan my... -
Virtual Knit Night July 9th
This week I learned to drink gin, and so so so paying for it afterwards, I'm not sure whether or not to take my new knowledge on to tonight's knit night. BUT I do know one thing for sure, and that is that I will show off my newly finished shawl, ends woven in, newly blocked and all... The details... -
What Maya Knits - KORO KORO Shawl
As the pandemic spread and London went into lock-down, I went into melting mode. Turning to my knitting for comfort, none of my ongoing projects gave the nurture or the calm I was looking for. Maybe this is because they were newly started summer projects, in thinner yarns and airy stitches, neither carried the promise of what I needed the... -

Time For a New Project - Knitting with Cumulus & ...
Cumulus is one of my favourite fuzzy yarns we have in the shop and we have expanded the range. With a great selection of jewel like colours there has never been a better time to try out this yarn. Cumulus is wonderful just on its own but it is also great combined with a whole host of other yarns. Cumulus... -
Virtual Knit Night June 25th
It is Thursday, and we will be hanging out virtually as one do these days. The heat has most definitely struck London climbing above 30 °C yesterday, I'm not sure what would be more suitable for tonight, ice cream or something bubbly and chilled in my glass. What ever you fancy yourself, I am very much looking forward to seeing... -

New Yarn: Norne BFL Mini Skein Sets and BFL / Silk / Cashmere
It seems like a long time ago since we launched Norne Yarn at Unravel in March. At the time we had two bases - Merino, Silk, Yak Singles and Merino, Silk, Yak DK. We were won over by the rich and vibrant colours of Tuva's. Her colours are inspired by Norse Mythology and are all hand dyed in Norway. They... -
