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 was walking along the beach one morning with the dogs. There were piles of seaweed strewn over the sand. My first reaction was 'It must have been a wild night last night'. The different species of seaweed had been torn up by the surf and dumped on the beach.
I really loved the colours of the weed - deep dark brown with different shades of green along with pops of almost red shades.
To make these rolags, I have blended merino fibre with a similar colour of silk (to get the shine of the seaweed). Each batt has 25% silk (either tussah or mulberry) 75% merino. The Manx Loaghton was also blended in the same ratio with natural honey tussha silk.
This high percentage of silk in the blend will give the blend strength, so the blend will be suitable for use as a sock yarn. However, I plan to spin mine as a 2 ply heavy laceweight yarn to make a shawl. The high silk content will give the blend plenty drape too!
The merino in this blend will felt. If you do not wish it to, hand wash in cool water.
