Hello all from ECY Shedquarters. We have been really busy (as always) but we have a few bits of news to tell you about. We are busy working on a few wholesale hand-dyed yarn orders, including one destined for South Korea! If you have a local yarn shop that you would like to see our yarns in, please do ask them to get in touch with us. We have also been working on yarn for our website and our latest update is now live featuring Eldwick Lace and Keld Fingering.
Eldwick Lace is our fluffy mohair/silk laceweight yarn and is a gorgeous yarn whether used on its own or held double with other yarns. Keld Fingering is a blend of Merino with linen spun as a singles yarn. The linen gives the yarn a rustic and slightly uneven look due to the slubs of linen throughout which doesn’t take the dye in the same way as the Merino. This means the yarn has a slightly marled effect, especially in the darker colourways. These two yarns are both absolute favourites of ours here and so this update is a big one. We have lots of semisolid colourways of Eldwick Lace available and on Keld we have a great mix of semisolids AND variegated colourways.
You can find out more about both these yarns in our blog posts which can be found on our Yarn Specific Blog Post Index HERE. On this page you will find Introduction blog posts and Projects and Patterns blog posts, which give you plenty of pattern inspiration incase you are wondering how to use these yarns.
We have lots of other updates in the planning stages including Titus Lace and Rosedale 4ply so keep an eye out for those coming soon!
