Due to an outbreak of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in our household the shop will remain closed until further notice - this means that this month’s Spin In Sunday has been postponed and outstanding online orders will be processed on Monday when my lovely helper Pauline will be in the shop.

I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, I can assure you that this is absolutely not how we were hoping to be spending our Halloween weekend.

On a scale of 1-10 I would rate HFMD a firm -5/10 - currently living on pots of cold custard because it’s all I can swallow.

Do not recommend.

"Haunting's Hard Innit?" 👻

Who else is super excited about the new Ghosts film being released today? I am literally en route to see it now, the first time in my LIFE that I have been to see a film at the cinema on launch day and I am beyond excited!

The Button House Collection shown is my homage to the show and is inspired by the original British version with each yarn named after my favourite quotes from the first series.

I did a deep dive into this collection in my latest vlog post (along with some fan-girling) so if you are interested in learning more about the colourways and seeing my favourite 'Like Bum' worked up then go check it out on my YouTube channel!

Late night behind the scenes shot of my very high-techy-techy system for working up my wee samples for the hand dyed top mini series that I’ve been focussing on over the last few weeks…

I am absolutely obsessed with the results so far and looking forward to showing you the comparisons soon! 🤩

I want to scream this from the rooftops: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SPINNING POLICE! 🚨

Spinning is a craft which spans millennia and although there is absolutely a large amount of theory that goes into learning how to spin - all of which will aid you in producing the yarn you desire - no alarms and big red lights will go off if you decide to play with the rules or you use the wrong term.

In fact, a large portion of the terminology that is used by modern spinners is only a few decades old and is very much open to interpretation, something that I had to keep reminding myself when trying to work out what to call the method I used for the final yarn sample of my mini series.

I ultimately went with ‘Marled’ as I feel like we are in danger of over-complicating things for the sake of it and really all I want to do with this series is encourage other spinners to play with techniques and have fun…

Anyway, the penultimate video is now live for you to watch and I am now working away in the background knitting and crocheting up all the samples so we can compare the results of my wee experiment!

Of COURSE the week that I planned to make a 'proper go' at revitalising my socials is when the household gets struck by the lurgy and all sense of productivity flies out of the window 🫠🤧

Luckily we're all starting to feel a lot better but annoyingly it meant that I didn't get chance to finish spinning up and filming the final yarn of my YT mini-series in time for this weekend...

Bear with me, I will be adding it to the channel on Wednesday and then making a start on working up the samples (the bit I'm most excited about!)

In the meantime I have not just one but TWO Top Tips videos that are now live on my channel to make up for it:

🧵How to Tie the Perfect Leader

✨AND ✨

🧵How to Use a Niddy Noddy

Both of these videos are short how-to guides that were created with new spinners in mind but might be helpful even if you've been spinning for years!

The latest episode of the Spinning a Yarn Vlog has been uploaded and was only an hour later than planned after a somewhat stressful night battling with technology.

I take full responsibility for having my laptop within toddler-keyboard-smashing reach for the ten seconds it took to initiate the export of the original video and have learned my lesson for future reference 🤦🏼‍♀️

(The Seal Pup very kindly overwrote a ten second section of actually quite important information with a very bad shot of me plying that didn’t make previous cuts and I didn’t realise until after it had been fully exported and partially uploaded to YT a full 5 hours after the fact 🫠 cue a very late night of fixing it and reexporting and uploading all over again after an already bad week of sleep so as not to upset the Algorithmic Overlord . Suffice to say that I am running on empty today… 💀)

If you have some free time over the next few days grab yourself a cuppa, make yourself comfy and give it a watch! 💕

Spin In Sunday has rolled around for another month and once again I forgot to tell you all about it 😬 oops!

If you have a few free hours on Sunday 4th October (at time of posting that is tomorrow!) come and join us in the shop for some spinning, chat and possibly cake…

Over the course of the last few weeks I have been working on a YT mini-series showing how hand dyed tops from my Friendship Collection can be spun up using a variety of techniques to get the yarn that you want.
Today the second method went live (link below) featuring a basic 2ply construction which is acting as a control yarn in order to compare the other techniques including fractal spinning and chain plying.
Suffice to say that even after a decade and a half of spinning I was still surprised by the outcome!
If you want to see how this wee experiment turns out come along and join us for the ride 🧶💕🌈

At the end of my last video showing you round behind the scenes in my dye room I asked if you guys would like to see how the fibre I dyed up worked as a fractal spun yarn and the answer was a definite yes!

So this week I filmed the first part of a mini series showing different methods of spinning hand dyed top, starting with the promised Fractal technique.
