We have restocked Take a Hike on Plumpy Sock Stuff and Mindful on Fluff Stuff (Suri silk). These two yarns were used by a test knitter for Andrea Mowry’s new Brume sweater pattern. The test knitter held these two yarns together and it turned out beautifully.
Also added to the shop is Take a Hike on Bulky Stuff. We just love how the speckling looks on the bulky weight yarn.
Hello from ECY Shedquarters! At the recent shows, we have had lots of people asking about sport weight yarn and the skeins we had with us sold out super-fast so of course we had to oblige with an update of Pendle Sport! This is our Superwash extrafine Merino in a sport weight yarn and we’ve produced a lot of colours all in batches of ten skeins so that you can get sweater quantities. You can find all the available Pendle Sport in the recently added section of the website or in the Pendle Sport category, and you can find out more about this yarn in our Introduction blog post here. This update is a wide selection of ECY classic semi-solid colourways in sweater quantities so you should find something for any project!
We had several requests for more of the yarn for the Peppy Scarf as seen in Laine Issue 20. The yarn used for this is Keld Fingering in Heliotrope, Mellifer and Rust, which we have set up as a yarn pack. As these colours sold out so quickly, we have set up a preorder for the set and there are still a few of these available. You can find this on our homepage.
We are once again overflowing with yarn snippets which are a by-product of our post-dyeing processing. These colourful offcuts are too pretty to waste and make an ideal stuffing material for a range of projects. These are free but we do ask that you pay for postage. You can find them on the website here.
This year is jam packed with yarn shows and we can now announce that we will be exhibiting at Yarningham on the 13th and 14th July in Birmingham’s Uffculme Centre in the UK. We have a list of all the upcoming shows we will be attending on our website here. Our next show will be Buxton Wool Gathering on 18th & 19th May 2024 in Buxton, UK.

What is a reusable fabric calendar?
This is what our Advents are famous for! Basically, it’s the wrapping for the mini skeins. It’s handmade. There a picture on the listing of last year’s. We are trying to be eco friendly by giving you a 100% cotton fabric reusable calendar with pockets! Handmade numbers let you know which pocket to open on which day.
Enjoy advent knitting and the Christmas season with our beautifully handmade, 100% cotton Advent Calendar. The fabric calendars, made by Dave, have little pockets individually numbered to let you know which mini skein to open each day. It’s not just the home for the delightful little mini skeins, it’s part of the entire experience!
Reuse the fabric calendar next year and fill it with sweets or surprises making every Christmas a shared adventure in anticipation and joy. Imagine refilling it with treats for your kids, creating a countdown filled with joy, or exchanging it with your spouse to discover new goodies each day.

For those who delight in the intersection of fandom and fiber arts, prepare to be enchanted! As a knitter and crocheter with a passion for tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, I’ve created a unique collection merging these worlds.
Like many makers, I often found myself juggling multiple projects, patterns, needles and notions. But being a fan of a Dungeons and Dragons-like world (Pathfinder, for anyone who is keeping track!) I longed for accessories that allowed me to flaunt both of my nerd-doms at once. Mundane storage wasn’t going to cut it for this crafty adventurer!
Drawing inspiration from iconic fantasy elements, the initial release for this fantasy line contains two prints — one featuring graceful soaring dragons, and another showcasing all things DnD — dice, swords, rune, coins, and more!
Each print is available in the following products:
Project Bags – Spacious interiors to accommodate even the grandest quests
Pattern Pockets – Easily access spellbooks of stitches
Yarn Sleeves – Wrangle errant skeins with these clever creations
Crafted with care using machine washable fabric, these bags and accessories are ready to withstand endless adventures. Tote your treasures in style at game nights, crafting circles, and more!
Oh… and did we mention that the bags all use snap closures? No more zippers here! Perfect for stranded projects or just keeping your yarn contained while you work away during your weekend-long campaign!
Embrace your roles as both a knitting/crocheting guru and a D&D enthusiast. Elevate your crafting glory with my exclusive themed wares! But don’t delay, for great quests await…
I love a bag that can change purpose with your changing needs. These sweet frame bags have been very popular with my customers, who tell me that they use them as project bags one day and a handbag the next. The shape is a classic handbag style. It comes from the metal frame in the top of the bag that also holds it open when unzipped, making them excellent project bags. They’ve been flying away this month, but I still have several gorgeous options to choose from. Each one is unique!
Dumpling pouches are also great multipurpose bags. They’re perfect for a sock project, but equally great to use for makeup, cords and chargers, or any little things you need to organize in a larger bag. Several feature fabrics talking about home and family and combined with the fresh spring colors they make sweet Mother’s Day gifts.
And my large project bags are perfect for your next sweater project or for anything you need to tote from one place to another. Quilted fabric collages and heavy waxed canvas make these extra sturdy, while inside pockets, stitch marker rings, and magnetic snap closures keep your project — or anything you need to carry — safe and clean. Like all of my bags, these are also one of a kind so please don’t wait to choose your favorite.
Meet the newest addition to my Merino, silk and yak-blend bases — Yakima DK! This 60% Merino, 20% silk and 20% yak has all the special qualities of my fingering and laceweight versions. It has fantastic drape and softness. The silken sheen with the added heathered effect from the silvery-brown yak fibers lends a luminescence that’s out of this world.
Yakima DK is the same construction as my Neptune and Triton bases, a nice plump round 4-ply, which lends to great stitch definition and body. This is the perfect base for a new favorite sweater or cozy shawl or cowl. Available in 18 colors, a combination of multis and coordinating solids.
We are so excited for Bridgerton Season 3! As we’ve done in seasons past, we’ve created a Bridgerton Mystery Box featuring a beautiful new colorway on your choice of base in a box full of other goodies. This is not a subscription, but a unique one-time Bridgerton-inspired curation. These boxes are wildly popular and will go quickly. Be sure to reserve yours today so that you don’t miss out.
Our love affair with grays continues this week with Chimney Soot, a moody deep mood on Homer, our squishy soft MCN (Merino, Cashmere, nylon) base in DK weight. Choose this colorway for a tonal neutral; great for socks or to anchor brights in a project.
As we progress with our Spring out of Winter Make-a-Long featuring the EUN Sweater by November Knits, we’d like to highlight some helpful tools when making and caring for handmade garments: It’s all about Cocoknits! First, the CocoKnits Accessory Roll can store everything a knitter needs in one compact package. With flexible configurations, you can keep any number of notions, personal gear and cosmetics organized and at your fingertips.
Another great item from CocoKnits is the Maker’s Board. If you enjoy using paper patterns or having a convenient place to keep notes and such, the CocoKnits Maker’s Board is just the thing. Sturdy, and comes complete with magnets to keep your pattern neat and easy to see.
So many great tools from CocoKnits that will up your making game. Whether you are brand new or experienced, you deserve good tools! See our whole collection here.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s something to love about every time of year.
But there’s something about springtime that just hits me differently.
Watching the flowers bloom again after a long winter.
Hearing the birds singing in the morning.
Getting knee-deep into my craft room clearing out old projects and making way for new ones.
There’s something so inspiring about bringing in new shiny things that makes me want to get started on ALL the projects. 😍
Well, friend, speaking of restocking the craft room with brand new pretties, I’ve come with some HUGE news!
Today. Is. The. Day.

In this collection you’ll find all sorts of pretty, pretty things to get you feelin’ the spring vibes including:
– New row counters
– New happy clip markers
– Hand-dyed yarns
