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

My dog, Albie, loves spending time watching the birds when at my Dad's house. The birds that arrive most often are some very large, and almost tame Wood Pigeons. They eat some much bird seed that I am surprised that they can still fly!
Despite their slightly 'bird brained' nature, they have a beautiful, soft coloured plumage. Gentle greys fading to a dusky pink. So, I decided to have a go at replicating their lovely colours.
These batts are made with a blend of merino and natural, grey baby alpaca fibre. The blend is 2/3 merino and 1/3 baby alpaca. I decided to use the alpaca for two reasons. Firstly I wanted to soften the sometimes harsh shades of the merino, and secondly I find merino much easier to spin when another, long staple length fibre is blended with it.
I am happy to say, that triple blending these fibres together has produced just the effect I was looking for.
These batts are light and airy, and will produce a lovely warm yarn with a little halo.
Both the merino and the baby alpaca fibre will felt. If you do not wish it to, hand wash in cool water.
