About
Once upon a time there was a girl who loved rainbows and luxury yarn but she couldn't find exactly what she wanted so she became an indie dyer.
I rediscovered knitting after a long gap a few years ago and my needles haven't stopped clicking since. Unable to find the perfect rainbow on my favourite premium yarn base I went on to dye my own wool.
Before I knew it my hobby was out of hand and had become a small business helping support my family. My husband says I am not allowed to start spinning or he will come home from work one day and find the garden full if sheep. This fear is entirely justified!
I also run an after school knitting club at our local primary school as I believe knitting is a wonderful hobby for children to learn as it has many benefits. If you are interested to learn more about the project please read: www.gofundme.com/knitafterschool .

Wholesale availability
Wholesale prices are 2/3 retail prices plus postage with a minimum purchase of 20 skeins or equivalent weight of yarn.
Care instructions
Almost all my yarn is superwash treated, so you can use the wool cycle on your washing machine, although hand washing is kinder if you have the time.
I choose acid dyes rated “wash fast” or “very wash fast” at 30*C, and I test wash each colourway. Nonetheless it is sensible to wash items separately on the first occasion as with any fibre or garment.
If you put my yarn in on long hot washes with fast spins, harsh detergents and stain remover they will age and fade much faster. This is not my fault, wool is like that, and you make your choices.
