Arranmore Light is back in stock.

Inspired by the breathtaking scenery of Ireland’s Northern Headlands, Arranmore Light yarn is spun in a mill that traces its roots to the homespun tweed industry of 19th century County Donegal. A finer weight than the popular Arranmore, Arranmore Light blends cashmere and silk with a fine merino wool to create an authentic tweed yarn of the finest quality. With a colour palette reminiscent of the wild Irish coastlands, Arranmore Light was designed for makers appreciating the best of luxury and tradition.

Uneek Fingering finally arrived. We've been waiting for more of this beautiful yarn.

Each skein is a work of art. A truly unique self-striping hand dyed merino collection of vibrant colours.

The Butterfly shawl takes two skeins of Uneek Fingering and one skein of a solid or semi solid fingering weight - we used Hedgehog Sock in Graphite.

More Uneek Sock kits arrived as well.

Self-Striping sock kit for matching socks. Kit contains 2 pre-wound cakes.

One of the many boxes that came in on Tuesday had a new yarn from Sirdar. Alpine is 100% Polyester and the animals are knit on 6.5mm needles.

Dad, Beth and Lynn were in charge of the garden and flower pots while I was away. They did a great job. I came home to lots of new blooms.

I was in a rush to get to work this morning and forgot my knitting. There are already a lot of pictures so I'll get pictures of my shawl tomorrow.
