Miss out on the 2020 Surviving the Storm Advent? Grab one of the re-dye sets, available unwrapped, on Choufunga Sock as the full 24 skeins, or split into the stormy and rainbow halves of 12 mini skeins each. Many of the colourways are also available in full 100g skeins on a variety of bases.

My new 2021 Bright Garden Monthly Mystery Set is also ready to ship. Fill your year with yarny surprises with this garden themed mystery set. Think of it as a monthly mini skein subscription without the multiple postage costs!

Twelve colourful organza bags are labelled with a month of the year and contain two minis in each for you to open and enjoy when the time comes. Each set includes 24 new colourways inspired by exhuberant garden flowers, colourful nature and floral illustrations like those of the talented Marcella Wylie.

The set is wrapped in an order that is suitable for creating a beautiful piece of work using each month as it comes, or feel free to choose random days from the set for your own unique order. I’ll be revealing each month’s colourways throughout the year on Instagram and Facebook and full skeins of each colourway will then be up for grabs as well.

This year’s Advent set is inspired by the mythology and folklore of Scotland. From colourful creation myths to fairies, stone throwing giants, fantastical creatures and local lore this new set of colourways is sure to delight. The set will be a complementary mix of a few existing colourways and at least twenty new repeatable colourways. Speckled and variegated, the set will be wrapped in an order that is suitable for creating a beautiful piece of work using each day as it comes or feel free to grab random days from the set for your own unique order.

All Advent options will include 24 individually wrapped and numbered mini skeins all on Choufunga, a 75/25 Superwash Merino and nylon sock weight base. Sets are available in different mini skein size options to suit. A full 100g skein can also be added separately to your order.

I’ve dyed up a few of my favorite colourways on two gorgeously soft and fluffy laceweight yarns. Both are delicate but strong with a gorgeous halo. Perfect for creating a wispy lacework feature or floating along with another yarn like my Choufunga Sock base.

Float Your Goat: Brushed Kid Silk Lace – 72% Kid Mohair and 28% Silk.
Each 50g hank is about 459 yards / 420 meters. Colourways pictured are Not So Fresh Zombie and Siren.

Fluff Lace: Suri Silk Lace – 74% Baby Suri Alpaca and 26% Mulberry Silk.
Each 50g hank is about 328 yards / 300 meters. Colourways pictured are Turquoise No. 1, Green as Glass, Fawn and Selkie Coat.

I have limited amounts of these yarn bases, so won’t be dyeing up a large selection. But if there are any of my repeatable colourways you would like to have, I’m happy to dye then up as special orders.

As well as repeatable colourways, I also have a variety of one-of-a-kind single batches available in various weights from lace to super chunky. These one-off wonders are dyed in batches of one to four skeins and are perfect for crafting creations that are truly unique.

Some yarns enjoy a secret nightlife!
