Yarns Arrived!!

My fleece that was sent down to The Natural Fibre Company returned as yarn on Thursday. It was really exciting waiting for the postman to come on Thursday and he delivered 2 big bags of un twisted hanks, 13Kilos in total (130 hanks).

I have dropped some off at Hebridean Hobby Crafts in Stornoway and I am in the process of twisting the rest. Just waiting for my labels to come that I have ordered and they will officially be on sale, both in Stornoway and on my Folksy.com shop.

 The yarn as it was delivered to me

 Opened for the first look!!


 10 un twisted hanks, and 10 I have twisted myself




I have had a split of weights made, half Double Knitting and half Aran so have a choice of patterns to design now, and for a sneaky peak I have put a picture below of my first, and soon to be made into a kit, Aran pattern, lovely little baby booties! pattern to write up now and just waiting for needles that I have ordered to add and the kits will be on sale too.


Just off for a run now, the sun has been shining all afternoon and I like to run from my house as I can see the sea! I love living here on the Island.
