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

A friend wants to make a Magpie inspired shawl, could I put together a colourway for it. I thought hard about how to make up this colourway. I decided on four different coloured rolags (instead of muticoloured rolags) to give more options for spinning a magpie yarn.
Options using this rolag set include
1. Spinning each colour up separately, and each separate yarn can be used for stranded work to make the Magpie Shawl
2. Each colour could be a different ply in a 4 ply yarn
3. The rolags could be pulled apart into small chunks, and then spun up randomly to make a multi-coloured yarn
These rolags are made from 2/3 soft, 21 micron merino carefully blended with 1/3 tussah silk. The silks are blended with the merino multiple times on a drum carder, to make sure that the silk fibres are evenly blended with the merino.
The high percentage of tussah silk in this blend will give the resulting yarn a lovey sheen, and drape. If you wish your Magpie fibres to be even shinier, Angelina can be added to each blend.
You will recieve just over 25g of each coloured blend totalling approximately 110g
