This weekend we would have been at the first of our weekend wool festivals this year - and our first trip to WonderWool Wales in Builth Wells. But these times are unusual (or the unusual has become the new usual) and so we are at home, limited to sending out online orders. Big thanks to all those of you who are ordering yarn as it's been a real life-saver for us. We've changed the way we prepare and pack our parcels and info about this can be found here. In readiness for WonderWool Wales, we have three new yarns in our shop - fresh from the 2019 wool clip - all washed and skeined and ready to go - which are natural undyed DK weight yarns. All are worsted spun rather than our previous wool spun yarns. REE: is a dark grey DK/worsted at 200m per 100g (10 WPI) and is a combination of black and grey fleeces. It's a lovely ark stormy grey which willl look fantastic next to all of our hand-dyed peerie-skeins. HAAR: is close to the Haar shade we used to sell but is a slighter lighter weight, coming in at 260m per 100g and 12 WPI. It's a flecky pale grey made from the grey and katmoget fleeces we have, with some white to lighten the shade a little. MOORIT: is a warm brown DK/worsted weight, similar to the REE, at 200m per 100g and 10 WPI. All three shades can be seen next to each other below. Getting the fleeces worsted spun has been a new departure for us. We hope you like the wool, and please tell us what you think! Happy knitting. In addition, WonderWool Wales asked us to prepare three short video clips and so - despite having no experience at all at it - we threw ourselves into pulling together film clips, photos and music to create three short pieces. They're a bit rustic, but we've put the first of them onto our website home page and we hope you enjoy it!
