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.
Ever since being asked to blend some fibres to represent the transition from a cygnet to a swan I have been plotting some special blends based on a Swan and her cygnets. The mute swan is a large, territorial bird who will attack even humans when they think their young are threatened.
In these batts I want to represent the silken smooth white plumage of the parent bird. Therefore I have used beautiful white, extra fine Bluefaced Leicester fibre as a base, and then blended it with white baby alpaca for extra warmth and sumptiousness. Then for the shimmer 20% of the blend is tussah silk, with finally Pearl fibre and then a touch of the finest trilobal added to the mix.
All of the fibres were then carefully blended together on my drum carder, a minimum of three times to ensure that all of the fibres are completely blended together. This produced wonderfully soft and fluffy batts, that will be easy to spin into an elegant, warm, shimmering yarn with a fabulous drape.
You will receive two batts, which together will make up just over 100g of fibre in the Swan Song colourway.
