It’s been one of those weeks when I want to keep almost everything that’s come out of the dye pots. I call that a good week.

I’ve been dyeing up One Farm Yarn, our gorgeous 100% British wool yarn. It’s a very local yarn as the fleece came from a from a few miles from us. All of the processing and spinning was done locally too. Less travelling is good for the environment. Most importantly the yarn is lovely – a delicious woolly wool that’s perfect for shawls and garments.

There are lots of neutrals.

There are also plenty of moody colours – and I’m eyeing the blackened blue as a possible sweater.

The moody shades combine beautifully, and there are some wonderful possibilities for a shawl.

Sometimes you just need a little pop of colour – so Bobbie has been busy creating mini skein sets. There’s 100 grams in each set so each little skein gives you 20 grams and 80 meters of yarn to enjoy.
