Chatting Yarndale samples Day 1!
Today I’m talking about The Calendar Scarf pattern by Suraya Hossain and just some of the yarn and companion yarn options to make this gorgeous scarf.
Kettle on, note pad and pen! 😂
Tomorrow I’ll tell you about the Alpaca and Luxury 4ply samples using my new Easy Textured Bandana Pattern.
Again, prep the kettle, add biscuits and a cushion!

I dyed Zakynthos today ready to take to Yarndale next week.
Colours reminiscent of the Ionian Sea in the heat of the summer. I knew when I was there earlier in the year I would want to remember that warmth when the days get cooler, and today it has got so much cooler hasn’t it?
Last dye day tomorrow, a little bits - the citric acid has run low and a girl has to stop somewhere!
Stand K37-38, just near the cafe and the loos Yarndale next weekend. Please say hello if you pass, you might recognise some of the colours!

9 precious skeins. For now.
I kept them like precious china, favourite shoes I didn’t want to spoil. But, I’ve dyed them as part of kits for Yarndale next weekend. The base is one I feel so passionate about because of the quality; the bounce, softness, drape and resilience. It’s 100% wool, John Arbon Knit by Numbers 4ply, 50% Bluefaced Leicester 50% Falklands Merino, skeins for cradling before you wind.
I love this base so much and the good news is it’s coming back soon as a regular yarn base in the Mamie and Florrie range.
But for now, just 9 precious skeins for Yarndale.

🧶Never has a week passed so quickly!
🧶I’ve always said January comprised of 37573 days slowly increasing to pace faster than the speed of light when we’re playing out in the sunshine through summer.
However, come September I’m sure heart beats increase to the pace of a mouse and between September - December there’s two days, two teeny, tiny, baby days.
🧶This week has been about dyeing yarn for Yarndale and two gorgeous KnitEasy groups and lots of appointments too.
But it’s good, we’re good in the hood and boy I can’t wait to see people soon in Skipton!
🧶Have a beautiful weekend yarnies, yes I’m still sample knitting and yes, I’m enjoying every single minute.
🧶And look, a peek at my Calendar Scarf, pattern by - I’ll show you more very soon.
Knit with Oslo Singles, Manchester Nights Mohair and Violet (146) Lang Paillettes.
Still read and awake? Bravo baby🥇🥇🥇🥇

I’m knee deep in show prep so quietly working hard behind the scenes. But I will be able to share some gorgeous newness very soon. Do you like this neon coral? It’s called Electric Avenue…
I’ve lots planned for this Autumn into Winter; shows, kits, new colours and yarns and new accessories.
But for me, what’s most exciting is being able to meet those of you who can get to the shows soon. This Autumn I’m doing a top, middle and bottom of the country…not in that order.
🧶1st Yarndale in Skipton Yarndale
🧶2nd Make Joy in London Make Joy brand new to me and I’m super excited
🧶 3rd East Neuk Knits in the amazing East Neuk of Scotland East Neuk Knits
I can’t wait to get back in the road - see you soon? (And I can come out of my dye shack!)

Autumn shift and changes but Knit Season is OPEN!
I’m not going to lie; I love Summer, I love daylight and being outside. In order for me to embrace the cold and dark I love to think of all the warm knitwear, fun projects and yarn possibilities I can enjoy over the colder and darker months. Is this relatable to you?
I’ve been planning colours, yarns and companion yarns to share with you for some time and I guess now is time to embrace it too. Time to get my knit on, time for us embrace sweater weather.
I’ll start sharing more with you soon, excited?
