16/5/2016 0 Comments Linen twist spa cloth We have issued a new pattern which is ideal for giving linen a try. This spa cloth can be made using a mini-skein of hand-dyed yarn, or you can make 2 with a solid dk 50g skein. If you are feeling more adventurous, a hand-dyed 100g hank will make 3 in DK or 4 in Sport weight. I must admit that this pattern is quite addictive. It is a simple knit and easy to memorise. Linen is an ideal fibre for spa cloths, since it is naturally exfoliating, as well as anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic. Our linen can be washed in the machine on a gentle cycle (eg wool cycle) with a gentle detergent. The linen itself doesn't mind repeated hot washes, but we recommend a gentle cycle in order to preserve the colours. The pattern is FREE when you purchase our linen yarn. See the pattern page for the coupon code (offer available until 1/11/2016)
Our natural linen yarn (50g skein) has a rougher, more rustic feel than the dyed linen yarn. It has the characteristic sliver beige colour of natural, undyed linen.

1/5/2016 0 Comments New linen yarn.As mentioned in our earlier blog post, we now have a range of pre-dyed solid colours to complement our range of hand-dyed semi-solid and variegated linen yarn. These come in 50g skeins and are roughly a DK weight, with 100m per 50g and they are very competitively priced. I find it knits nicely on 4mm needles and crochets on a 3.5mm hook. This being said, you can go up or down in needle size, depending on how tight or loose a stitch you prefer. Linen yarn is quite versatile on gauge. New pricing policy.We also have a new pricing policy across our website. We really want linen to be accessible to all crafters, and so we have levelled off our prices on the hand-dyed yarn. At the same time, it remains more expensive than the pre-dyed yarn, for the obvious reason that there is so much work involved in the dyeing process. We hope to be able to maintain these prices for the foreseeable future.  Rose beige, Cerise and Marsala  Slate, Cool Grey and Mallard |
