New fibre

So, having got the bug for dyeing again, here are my latest offerings, to be found for sale at www.knattersknits.co.uk
 Summer Berries Sherbet Dibs    

 Tyrian Scarlet  
 

Not only do I enjoy dyeing these fibres, but because they are so soft, I love spinning them too. This fibre has such a lovely sheen, it almost sparkles.

Life is becoming busy at last! Not only have my fibres been well received by Fibreholics box recipients, I have been asked to run my spinning classes again at the local college, and also to demonstrate spinning at their open day. Things are definitely on the up. I just llove my job, I think it's the best!

I'm now planning some more patterns for release in the coming months, and I will announce more details here as things develop. One is a child's dress, another is a cowl and the rest are hush hush right now. Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

Right, as it's nearly 02:00 here, I'd better get ready for the Guild meeting tomorrow, and then go to bed. So much to do, so little time....

New yarn and fibre

Well, the silence from me hopefully has been worth it. I have been a busy little bee! My website www.knattersknits.co.uk/shop has loads of new stuff for sale, from fibre for spinning to yarn and knitting kits.

I am so excited to be able to tell you that I am also part of the Fibreholics group, where you can purchase small samples before you decide to buy larger amounts of fibre or yarn. This is such a good way to try out new dyers and spinners. Before contributing to this box, I tried them out myself, and was so pleased with the contents. Why not sign up for the newsletter so that you can find out when the boxes will be released? You won't regret it!

Below re a few pictures of what I've been up to:
