Linen


We have a brand new Linen from BC Garn. 6 colours arrived today.
Lino is suitable for hand knitting, weaving and machine knitting. The more linen is used, the softer and beautiful it becomes. 





You can find patterns for Lino on Ravelry.

Ms UPS was here bright and early this morning and we have lots of Dyed in the Wool. Salty Dog.
Truth Bomb
Verba Volant

Boscoe went to the job site today.

I was about to sign off and remembered Yarnuary.

Day 3 - Your Favourite Knitting Place

I'm going to say on an airplane. I have a TV show on my iPad and I can knit with nothing or no one bothering me. At home I start knitting and then remember that I need to send an email or write a blog post or update the website. There are dishes in the sink and I need to load the dishwasher. Laundry needs to be done. When I'm on an airplane there are no chores. Uninterrupted knitting for a few hours.

Boxes of yarn everywhere

There were a lot of boxes delivered today - nine in total. I got a few unpacked but there is yarn everywhere.

We received our first shipment of yarn from BC Garn.
BC Garn is a family run company established in 1972 that has maintained a high standard of quality for over forty years. BC Garnproducts are always made of natural fibres, often organic, and many are GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified.
A typical British Tweed Yarn. Loch Lomond is woolen spun, that means it has a nice volume and at the same time a good long yardage. This results in very light garments. The rustique look with the typical tweed nups inspires you for warm cardigans, real men's sweaters but also for very warm shawls. And last but not least: It is GOTS certfified, that means from sheep to dye stuff, from production to stock keeping and packing, each step is inspected carefully and in line with very strict organic and social standards.


This won't be available online until tomorrow or Friday.

Malabrigo arrived this morning and at the same time a box came in with more pompoms.
Eggplant, Piggy and Hot Pink pompoms. I'm going to make a scarf with the Valentina Rasta and add pompoms to the ends. I think Eggplant but we'll see when I have the scarf finished.

Survivor is on and I need/want to knit. More yarn pictures tomorrow.
