I am happy to say that I can now ship to the USA again! I will be shipping using the new Royal Mail Duties Paid service. This means that I will collect the 10% tarrif when you place an order. This will be paid to Royal Mail when I purchase your shipping label. Royal Mail will then pay the relevent duties to the required authorities. This means that you will not have to pay any further charges to receive your package in the USA.
If you have any questions, or would like a custom order, please contact me at

Another colourway put together for the Ancient Manuscripts themed box. Many medieval manuscripts had treasure bindings - especially Biblical tomes had bindings covered in precious metals, precious and semi precious stones, iviry and velvet. This is one of the reasons that many ancient books were stolen - so that their bingings could be removed. I found on the British Library site, the inspiration photograph of a Gospel book, produced in the 10th Century in Metz – possibly gifted to the Cathedral of St Stephen by Bishop Thierry. The central panel is an ivory insert produced in the 9th Century. What I loved most about it was the soft velvet surrounding it, embellished with silver and gold. So, this is what I focussed on for this blend.
The hand pulled rovings are a lucious, luxury blend of superfine (18.5 micron) merino in shades of teal and grey, with added gold using Muga silk and silver mulberry silk.
The superfine merino fibres will felt.
