Thanks to all of you who made it to Unravel and came to say hello! It was a brilliant show. Much busier than last year and we all had so much fun.

One of the things I like best about shows is seeing everyone proudly wearing their knits. I spotted the lovely lady, below left, wearing her Angelus Novus, and as I had my green Waltham Aran version on I had to get the designer – Renée of East London Knit, of course – to take a shot for posterity!

I was also super excited to see everyone’s finished Kettle projects and actually managed to remember to get a shot of my newly crowned Beyul Queen ,Rachel (@raychball on instagram), in her newly blocked Coffee Date Shawl in Beyul Steppe, Turquoise Tarn and Orchid. Glorious!

I’ve been a busy, busy bee with the dyeing! I’ve got plenty of newness and restocked yarns after the show and in preparation for the next big date on the calendar, Edin Yarn Fest.

Below shows a small portion the Islington DK – Bluefaced Leicester/ silk – currently in shop. A good number of the stock Islington colours are now in the thicker weight. I’ve recently added smokey Tide blue and penny Copper.

Due to popular request I’ve got a new red for Beyul this month – Goji! The orange/red hue of dried goji berries this hue goes beautifully with the other Beyul hues and goes quite nicely with new rusty Copper in Islington fingering as well!

I had a few skeins of the special edition Avocado-dyed Baskerville left over from Unravel and have put them up in the shop as a general listing for anyone who fancies them before Scotland!

Also, the last of the Super Chunky Waltham Aran is now on sale. 2 of each colour left …enough for Aeolica hats! Super soft British Bluefaced Leicester at its best.
