Dear Knitter,
I wanted to begin this newsletter with a quick update for everyone. Our Greeta Cardigan and Hat Set (which sold out shortly after our last newsletter) are both back in stock. You can see the cardigan and gloves from the hat set worn here by Nataliia with a very autumnal look. You can find the Greeta Full Set here.
A second update is for our customers in the USA. We have been successfully shipping to the USA all month via the Royal Mail PDDP (postal delivered duties paid) service. Your tariff payment of 10% and a £1 per package handling charge is paid via our checkout. We can confirm there are no further charges levied by USPS or US customs on landing or delivery. Once you have checked out on our website there are no further payments and your package will be delivered as usual. Delivery times are no longer than usual and the service is working well. You can see all charges in your basket before you checkout. You can read more here.
This month we have a brand new patterncard kit. Jade's Antares Cardigan is inspired by the brightest star in constellation of Scorpius. The colours are those of the summer night sea and sky punctuated with flashes of red in honour of Antares. The bold stripes and geometric patterns reference the water and horizon line. Also referenced are the imagined lines between the stars that form the Scorpius constellation, which has been used in times past for navigation. The result is a bold nautical design that is a delight to knit and can be worn in a variety of different ways. You can see it here worn with a pair of pale jeans, and with a navy skirt, giving two very different looks. You can find the Antares Cardigan here.
Another two of the Glamourie designs have joined our patterncard kit collection. You can see the Selkie Cardigan here. This lightly fitted design is in a subtle colourway of blues and purples. You can find the Selkie Cardigan kit here.
The delicate textures of the Sea Anemone Pullover create an intricate effect which can be seen here in our Red Deer colour. This kit can be made in your own choice of colour from our Hebridean 2 Ply range. You can find the Sea Anemone Pullover kit here.
We also have some other popular designs just back in stock. The Peigi Cardigan, the Polaris Cardigan and the Raven Capelet are all back in stock this month.
We have been busy this month. The weather allowed us to get out on another shoot on the banks of Loch Lomond, so we will be back next month with new imagery and another new patterncard kit design.
Happy knitting,
Alice
