Helen Lockhart Ripples CraftsI very rarely dye subtle colours on my reliable sock yarn. A couple more new ones went up in the shop today .... bright as ever 🌈
Baa Baa BrighouseI've been rather quiet here over the past couple of months and took an extended break over Christmas so there hasn't been the usual steady stream of posting.
Below is an overview of our 2025 Christmas Carols themed Advent Calendar. Usually I would post reveals every day in the lead up to Christmas but I've been dealing with lots of other things.
Last year wasn't the best for me personally and I'm still making some changes both personal and professional (more about that soon). But in the meantime, enjoy some recent(ish) snaps of hand dyed yarn.
Happy New Year

Hmmmm the Emerald Spotted Wood Dove colourway needs more brown. The work continues ...

Auridon YarnsNot every dye day goes to plan. 🌿 These six were meant to be Jutland Rhubarb, but the colour had other ideas. They didn’t make it through quality control, so they’ve landed in the Second Skeins section of the webshop. 40% off and still perfectly good for your next project. 💪✨
Because sometimes the almost-perfect skeins deserve love too. 💚

Meet my very first assigned pooling yarn and it’s berry special!
I paired this playful colourway with a strawberry stitch, and watching those little berries pop up exactly where I wanted them feels like magic.
Available in my store through my website and Etsy later this week ✨
This is what happens when yarn and stitches dance together.

The sun is shining, the dye pots are bubbling, and I’m completely in love with mohair. ✨ There’s something about this fibre—its airy softness, the way it catches the light, the gentle halo that makes every stitch feel like a dream. Today’s batch is fresh from the pots, glowing in the sunlight, and I can’t wait to see it on the needles. ☁️💛
Mohair has a way of wrapping you in warmth without weight, of turning simple stitches into something ethereal. What’s your favourite thing about knitting with mohair?

La VischLast week I showed you this gorgeous yarn by RMR Yarn Co. I've balled up the first skein, now to decide on what to knit with it.... 🤔

#StashdiveSaturday This stunning yarn by @rmryarnco is the El Barney colorway on the Gloria Aran base. I must admit that I didn't capture the true richness of the color. In person, it has a lot more depth with a tad bluer hue. I don't know yet what this yarn wants to be when it grows up, Please do let me know if you have suggestions!
