  3. Yarn of the Week: Hokkaido and Shikoku

    We have just had the Great London Yarn Crawl through our doors on the weekend, and what a success!

    This week's yarn of the week comes to you a day late due to the bank holiday weekend, we hope you all had a lovely time in the sunshine if you had the day off! The weather has had a little freshness to it here in London, and it has us turning our minds to jumpers and cardigans for cooler...
  5. Yarn of the Week: Lyonesse 4ply

    This week's yarn is Lyonesse 4ply from Blacker Yarns. Perfect for transitional seasons, it is a blend of Linen and Corriedale/Merino wool. This combination creates a subtle flecked fabric where the two fibres blend together. The yarn can have a very rustic appearance in the ball, but linen softens dramatically with knitting and washing, so don't let that dissuade you...
  6. Yarn of the Week: Tokonatsu

    This week our highlight yarn is Tokonatsu by Noro. This DK weight yarn comes in a range of 8 muted jewel tones. It is a blend of cotton, silk and viscose, making it a wonderful yarn for summer and warmer weather garments. The yarn has a slubby blend, giving the finished fabric a slightly tweedy texture. This effect makes a...

    Who doesn't love a quick knit?!

Bonus, there is also a pattern for a matching hat and snood if you...

  11. A Creative Journey

    I've known Kaja for a few years now, one of the very first customers I had coming through my doors when setting up my shop and with time a dear friend, and I've had the pleasure of observing her approach to knitting. A process I find both fascinating and amusing. You see, where most of us decide on what we...
  12. But what does it look like...?

    One of the best parts of my job is to receive deliveries, and I'm sure this goes for everyone working in a yarn shop. There is this very particular excitement when opening the boxes, being the first one to open the bags and pull out the lovely woolliness neatly winded up in fresh skeins or balls. Admiring the texture, the...
