Yarn by Clarke

Yarn by Clarke We make ethical 4-ply yarn spun from New Zealand wool for knitters and crocheters, and celebrate quirky, innovative and talented makers between the stitches.

I asked my partner to fill in the ‘About Me’ section as he is best placed to be objective (and I can always change anything he gets wrong). He said, “They say the apple never falls far from the tree yet Bev, who lives with me in the UK, is 11,400 miles away from her parents, who live in New Zealand. Bev’s mum is an award-winning spinner and knitter, and has been sending us socks and accessories fo

r well over a decade. She’s fully converted me to wool and I refuse to wear anything else. On my feet that is. Bev went over to see them in January but broke her ankle on day 3 of her stay and was essentially housebound. They used the time to good effect though and her mum taught her to knit in just 4 weeks from scratch. What’s more, she's recently launched our own brand of yarn Yarn by Clarke - machine-washable, mulesing-free sock yarn spun from premium New Zealand wool. So Bev is now continuing the family legacy in more ways than one and I guess they were right about that apple all along.”

At the risk of sounding like a PR agent for the talented team of knitters and crocheters at the Fairfield WI Beds, may I present their latest creation and colourful adornment of our local post box. On show are penguins, a snowman, a relaxed-looking elf, and no topper would be complete without the ubiqutous Father Christmas. Very nicely done, ladies, and festive thanks to one and all.

I don't know whether the Fairfield WI Beds have officially named their latest poignant tribute to the fallen, but I think 'The Last Post' would suit. Much respect and thanks as ever to our talented team of local knitters and crocheters at the WI in Fairfield, Beds.

😮After being advised by her knitting mentor .clarke.3154 that her first doll’s jumper was indecently short, Bev’s taken the feedback on board and added a couple more rows to the rib for this second attempt. This time using our Sock Flock 'Sea Glass' colourway. 😎

Despite me pointing out that it's not even Halloween 🎃👻 yet, Mark is insisting I pick a favourite from this festive line-up this week 🎅🏻🎄. So I've decided to use my 'Ask the Audience' lifeline 🆘 Which one gets your vote?!!

💖 Following on from last week’s “Not just for socks” example from Christine at Phoenix yarns, who wowed us with her stunning size 16 jumper in Sock Flock Purple Ivy — Bev decided to give it a go herself, albeit on an admittedly smaller scale…

Knitted in Sock Flock Raspberry Ripple, this mini jumper-dress marks Bev’s first ever non-sock project — and we think her model absolutely owns the catwalk! 💅✨

💜 Sock Flock isn’t just for socks!

We absolutely love this hand-knitted jumper by Christine Davies of yarns, our wonderful retail partner in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire.

Knitted in Sock Flock “Purple Ivy”, Christine used just five balls to make this stunning size-16 jumper — proof that our 4-ply New Zealand wool blend is every bit as versatile as it is beautiful.

Beautiful work, Christine — a true thing of beauty! 👏🧶✨
