25/1/2016 0 Comments Mulberry Linen CurlI had never heard of "curls" until my son bought me the book of the same name by Hunter Hammersen as a Christmas present. A curl is a triangular shaped scarf/shawl which, due to its ingenious construction, curls round at the pointed end. There are various ways of wearing this versatile accessory. You can make a curl as big or as small as you like. I decided to stop knitting at just over 2 skeins of DK linen yarn (Mulberry).
Here is the result.

19/1/2016 0 Comments The SwatchTabKnitting a swatch and checking your gauge....We all know that knitting a swatch is an essential part of knitting a project where size is critical.
A few years ago I got fed up with trying to get my measuring tape straight and counting the stitches. Having access to acrylic fabrication equipment and material through our sister company, Acrylicraft Ltd, I decided to make myself a useful acrylic tool. I now have several of these dotted around the house, just an arm's length away from my knitting. These are now available here in our shop in 7 different colours. 16/1/2016 0 Comments 2016 colour of the yearPantone reveals its first two-tone colour of the year with Rose Quartz and Serenity.
We are busy working on replicating these colours in our linen yarn. This will soon be available as a 100g linen yarn blank (2-tone) and each colour will be available separately in our 100g yarn skeins. 2/1/2016 0 Comments Hand-dyed linen gradient yarn |
