I'm featured!

I was very honoured recently to be featured as part of a year long focus on women demonstrating great business savvy being held on the 'A Playful Day' blog. 12 women in 12 is a year long feature focussing on women in the industry making a difference to the way in which we view crafts.

 
When I was asked to talk through what it takes to make a yarn business an international success I of course jumped at the chance to share the story. Fyberspates has grown as a brand and to see all my hard work celebrated was so exciting. I have had a sneaky peek at the line up and I feel very honoured to be part of such an amazing bunch of women.

 
The feature tells the story of how I grew the company from a small hand dyeing business to the widely known brand it is now. You'll be able to find out just how hard I work and get a behind the scenes look at what an average week looks like for me. You can find my feature here and keep up with all the other women that A Playful Day is featuring by following the #12womenin12 hash tag on twitter. Thank you so much to Ms Playful for including Fyberspates in this wonderful feature.

Our friends at Knitting Magazine are celebrating 25 years of publication and their 100th issue. We are so thrilled for them and were honoured to be included as part of the bumper issue that they released to celebrate the occasion. The special issue included 2 designs in our Scrumptious yarns and they are both so stylish!

Amanda Crawford used our Scrumptious 4ply yarn in the colourway Water to create this stunning Lace Panel Cardigan. The cardigan is a short sleeve, bottom up design featuring set in sleeves, a front tie and picot edge. The sizing ranges from bust size 82, 86- 117 cm and yardage starts at only 798 yards depending on size you require. A great addition to your wardrobe as we move into Spring.

Alison Robson created this fabulous Lace Scarf using Scrumptious Lace and we're just blown away by how delicate yet simple it is. A rectangular scarf with repeating leaf and lace motifs, this will be great scarf to dress up an outfit. The sample is shown here in the colourway Rose Pink and looks so luscious and feminine.

It's fab to see our yarns popping up in so many places, especially when it's part of a celebration. Well done to all the team and designers who have helped make Knitting Magazine so strong for 25 years!
