Welcome!
Since I have been away I have been looking into the issues which have cropped up thanks to new regualtions in both the EU and the USA.
I am happy to report that I can now dispatch orders to the EU - hurray!
As for the tarriff situation in the USA. The information that I have gained is that individuals can import upto $800 in a single order before tarriffs and other taxes will be levied. However, as the situation has been changing rapidly, it may be advisable to check for any new rules changes with your customs authorities.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss a custom order, please contact me at

I normally travel the three miles to the post office at least once most days. It is a lovely drive, with the lakeland fells to the left hand side, the Solway Firth and the Scottish hills to my right, and on a good day, the Isle of Man straight ahead. Part of my journey passes the old NATO ammunition depot, which I am certain must be an absolute haven for wildlife. It has been closed to the public and development for the whole of my lifetime. I enjoy watching the changes in the woodlands that have been allowed to grow there.
This gradient shows the colours found on the edges of the 'Dump' during a sunny November day. The gradient starts with the light, golden colour of the long grasses, moving into the the khaki shades of the broad leafed tree and moving onto the deep, rich green of the pine.
The batts are a careful blend of 33% tussah silk and 66% 21 micron merino. The resulting yarn will soft, warm and will have a lovely shimmer and shine - and will also have a great drape - fantastic for shawls. The inclusion of such a high percentage of silk will also make this blend tough enough to be used for socks.
