Things will begin disappearing off the website in the next couple of days as I pack up and head off to Wool@Portsoy on Saturday this week. I'll restock the online shop when I return next week.

First 2024 event applied for. It sometimes feels like the treadmill of show applications is endless!

Working on a super secret assignment, and it feels good to be analysing colour in such detail again. Breaking every colour up that I need to use, work out quantities precisely, while still maintaining a bit of artistic flair.

Working with one of my current favourite colours - Midnight at the Village Hall. So difficult to capture the intensity and deep shades in this variegated colour, but this got quite close. I'm using it as my main colour in my version of the pattern Pressed Flowers Pullover. My contrast is an orange/red shade, so I won't be missed when I'm wearing it.

You can tell me that the simply wound cake of hand dyed yarn is not a work of art, but I don't have to believe you

A trip to Stratford, Ontario meant a stop at Songbird Fibres, an indie dyer whose work reflects the colour of birds. This is the Nicobar Pigeon. @fibrearts @knitting
