Now open for Pre-Order!

Really excited about .creabea's upcoming book, "Shorelines: Knits from Scottish Coast"....which features knits bearing many of my favourite places' names!

We'll have it in stock from November 26th and it would make the perfect Christmas gift!

Our lovely Cat .omens.tarot just finished this stripey thing of beauty, perfectly timed for the cooler weather.

It's a Frankie Sweater by Petite Knit, knit in our Natural Palette DK with some Donegal Twists striped in for a bit of luxury.

New yarn reveal!

This time, it's some stunning plant dyed yarn from .biocolours. It's a really exciting new dyeing technique developed by chemists and it is gorgeous!

So gorgeous that some of it sold out before I could film this reel!

Antje excitedly clutching some samples can only mean one thing - brand new yarn incoming!

I'll leave you with this wee teaser while I wait for the delivery to arrive, but this one is pretty special! A completely new to us brand, who are pretty new to the market and VERY innovative in what they're doing. And what they're doing is making stunning yarn.

Cannot wait to share this with you!
