23rd December 2024 - The shop is now open as normal. Sadly, due to the new European GPSR regulations, at present, I cannot send items to the EU or Northern Ireland. Any orders placed will be fully refunded. I am hoping to find a 'work around' for this issue. As soon as a way forward is found, I look forward to trading with my lovely customers in the EU again.
Dispatch times at present will be approximately 5-6 weeks
UK shipping will be sent via Royal Mail (either first class or tracked 48) and all international orders will be sent using a tracked method. Once your item is shipped I will send you an email with your tracking information. Please note - for some of the dispatch messages that I have sent from the shop email address have been delivered to spam/junk folders - so please check these folders to check for replies and tracking information.
I saw this wonderful photograph of autumnal reflections. I knew that I had to turn it into a gradient!
The gradient is made from 2/3 wonderfully soft 21 micron merino carefully blended with 1/3 tussah silk. This high proportion of silk will make the blend more straightforward to spin, due to the longer staple length of the silk. The silk also lends the blend, and so any resulting yarm, a fantastic shimmer and drape.
You will receive 10 mini batts which total 150g of fibre. This should be sufficient to make a large shawl - or would make a wonderful contrast yarn in a larger project.
The merino in this blend will felt. If you do not want it to, hand wash in cool water.
