Dear Knitter,
I am pleased to say that new dyelots of some of our lovely Hebridean yarns are starting to appear on our website and so we are able to welcome back some of our patterncard kits. The Marina Cardigan & Hat Set, the Wave Cardigan & Hat Set and the Alba Jacket are among those which are available again. You can see some new images here of the Marina Hat Set, worn by Yasmin on a Hebridean Beach along with the Boreray Pullover and an Am Baile Wrap. You can also see Precious in the Alba Jacket on the shores of Loch Lomond. You can catch up with all of our design stock here.
The beautiful Pebble Beach shade of Hebridean 2 Ply is also back and available in loose skeins and in "choose your own colour" kits and yarn packs, along with Red Rattle 2 Ply and Limpet 3 Ply.
I am never not knitting but this month I have also been spending fun time weaving on my loom. My current project is a woven wrap which I'm making to match the rich and vibrant colours of the Firebirds Hat Set. We are hoping to photograph it next month. You can also see here an Am Baile wrap from the Weaving Design Plans Collection made in Clover, Golden Plover and Driftwood.
The Weaving Class and Design Plans Prospectus is available to browse. You can comfortably flip through all of the different designs and see the results from a number of photoshoots we have done over the last year for the weaving designs.
The Henry VIIII Hat Set and Briodag Video Classes also now have a Prospectus each. They allow you to read about all of the learning points involved in these two project classes, and show each design styled with a variety of outfits.
More of our Fingask Castle shoot has found its way onto the website, and though the main images will not be up until autumn, you can get an idea of the lovely whimsical castle grounds here.
It is taking a while for the croft to wake up after the long hard winter. Emma and Oona are still coming into the byre for a feed every morning, but they are enjoying the breezy evenings on the croft.
Next month we will be back, hopefully with more new dyelots and a lot more colour!
Happy Knitting,
Alice
