You may have seen from the photos on social media stories that Simon and I are away on a break. We ran away straight after the WonderWool Wales show leaving Charlotte to carry the baton and she's doing you proud.
So, first up this month is the launch of our Tour de Fleece fibre pack where we provide 25g of fibre for each of the race days of the Tour de France. It's a little bit of fun and a great way to try 21 different fibres. Free UK postage and the price held to 2024 prices. I must also say that I am loving the ombre effect from blue, through grey and white to brown.
New fibre blends include Fusion (a wool free colourful blend), Purple Rain and Oil on Canvas. The latter was inspired by Monet's "Poplars on the Epte" which Charlotte has done a brilliant job of teasing out the colours and you must think the same as it's flying out! We'd had enquiries about an old favourite, Masham Mallard, so for a brief period this too is available.
If it's curls or texture you're after we have Hebridean fleece, Blue Faced Leicester curls and some rather nice Gotland lambs fleece. You'll find all of these on our specials page along with a batch of hand dyed Blue Faced Leciester tweed 4 ply yarn. It's a small batch so grab it quick!
We have a new book called Playful Peg Loom Weaving which covers multiple techniques, the basics of peg loom weaving and even how to make your own peg loom. Why not check out our carefully collated book selection.
Simon will be at the Tynedale Spinners Gathering next Saturday 17th May. If there is anything you'd like him to bring please do let us know by noon on Friday 16th so we can squeeze it in the car for you.
