wow, its tuesday, and I am actually dyeing yarns and fibres for the shop, what a miracle huh?
So today is playing around with fibres,will post some photo's and a photo of my finished febuary lady sweater tomorrow, I haven't taken it off for a whole week, lol, I am so in love with it.
Got new hard drive for laptop, and now need a new operating system, apparently that will take about 8 days *sigh* at least old aeroplane is holding up ok, lol

Look at these gorgeous self striping socks, aren't they are gorgeous?

OK, Still adding stock to the shop. Have added a small amount of nef fibres etc for normal update,but those of you who like the bfl solids, I have found ALOT of trials of DK's we did a while back, cherry, deep purple and teal, and the lime/summer green, I have soof the last one, it is in the shop for £2.50 for 100gms.
This will continue till I am cleared out, lol!!!
Have a fab weekend, I have a visit tomy new house and to Liverpool for some fashion inspiration.
xxxxx
ok,
I stopped updating because we needed to clear some of the orders! Boy, you folks love a sale!!!
Anyway, I have lots more to go on, and will continue that later.
I have a new yarn available in the shop from today, and its cashmere, 100% pure, gorgeous, soft mongolian cashmere spin in the UK, after my last cashmere experiences I was less than enamoured by the softness, cashmere should feel very velvety and a cut above, but frequently, it can seem like rope, but this stuff seriously lives up to my expectations.
Because it is mongolian it is beige in colour, which means alot of the dyed colours will be very rich, I can't really achieve pastels in this, so no point in asking me for those, sorry :-(
So, want to see some? - sorry, I still can't edit photo's at the moment on this aeroplane of a laptop, so have posted something imbetween.
The colour is inbetween the two photo's but its delicious and rich
The yardage 1300 per 100gms, it is £10 for 50gms, and its on the site under laceweights, now I need a name for I, think will call it sumptuous, it is the right spelling, lol
Only got purple today, but there will be a few more over the weekend.
right, need a van just for my packages today to go to the post office, lol!

ok, so seeing as things feel like they are taking stupedous shape around here, and we are starting to pack for the move, I shall start to add things for the shop for the sale (I do have some things to update, especially fibres and things this week) but for the main it will be white yarn, on cones, and in sample packs for you guys to practice dyeing with, seeing as you love it so much, lol.
There will be mixed lots of sock yarns, thick yarns, and some real treats for you to mess out with.
I also am discounting some of the space dyed yarns which we are discontinuing, and I don't want to carry the whole stock to somewhere else, so these will be at bargain prices from this afternoon, this incudes squishy, its a totally gorgeous yarn, baby alpaca and merino mix, its chunky so knits up so quick, but needs to go, its not part of my line any more so it needs to go lol, it will be reduced to £4.99 per 100gms, which is a complete bargain, you can substitute it for rowan big wool too :-)
The space dyed wool aran and chunky will be reduced to £3.50 per 100gms, and this stuff is delicious and warm and is super for felting. I will also put the space dyed thick sock on, its perect for warm toasty socks
That sale starts now, and I will start updating the shop from this afternoon with white supplies, as you know I rarely do sales so make the most of it, lol :-)
Currently all packages will be shipped the same day.

So, the design of the new shop has been decided, the reason it has taken a while is because the back end of the site is as important as the front end, and so we had to mess about with lots of things, but yesterday we agreed that its nearly there so its now being built, lol, but thats exciting, so wondered if you would like to see a little preview, what do you think?
The banner isn't quite right at the moment, but its just to get an idea.....
Typepad has shrunk the image so its a bit small, appologies but you get the idea :-)
I am very inlove with the new logo,......
ok, so I am still waiting for full pictures of my outfit, so that you can see my spiders legs, and mom and pops' costumes, but here is a pic of me and little bro for tasters, lol:
Obviously I have a wig on.....lol
OK, so whats occuring in Splott then apart from things being very busy getting ready for big move?
Well, remember the cashmere lurex? we had it tested, and its ALL cashmere Yippppppppppeeeeeeee. So now I can sell it properly, although we are still unsure of the exact yardage so I will be selling at a price which takes that into account, but keep an eye out on this weeks update for that. Also, I have some new Mongolian pure cashmere lace yarn, which is gorgeous, and spun in the UK, obviously, you know how fussy I am about cashmere :-) That will be in the shop too this week.
OOOOH! And I have lots of white yarn which I don't have in my ranges any more which to be honest is perfect for dyers starting out, so I was thinking of doing some white yarn sample kits. I need to clear out all the old stock - is this something people would be interested in?
Right, today am dying yarn and fibres for clubs, its a gorgoeus sunny day, and very mild, so I am taking advantage of it, and I don't sound as if I have consumption any more so make hay while the sunshines as they say ;-)
