It’s all over the internet, it’s incoherent misogyny! I dyed a new batch, and there are many other powerful pinks and purples in stock.

“Turquoise Sea”. I dyed plenty of yarn to bring to @thewoolmontyshow, buying in extra to make sure I have an amazing selection. The shop is stocked to bursting with beautiful colours so now is a great time to look if you won’t be at the show.

“Violet Backed Starling”, new batches on all weights because it was a surprise success at @wonderwoolwales last weekend. I put a little pink in the purple to mimic the gorgeous feathers.

“Ocean Storm” on aran. Today is your last chance to buy before @wonderwoolwales as I’m packing all the yarn tomorrow. This isn’t some marketing trick to make you feel pressure of time, it’s just a statement. You can be sure of this because I have learned that reminding people actually causes a fall in sales! I do it anyway because I think I would like to know if I were a potential customer.

Rich, juicy “Blood Orange” citrus colours. It’s a vibrant UV reactive bright that’s perfect for spring and summer. It would make the most amazing contrast with “Leafy” - just imagine fresh fruit in a green tree!

The thing I am good at (beautiful yarn) and the thing I am bad at (customer service). In a perfect world I could create the colourways, do all the behind the scenes work, and that would be enough. This is a gorgeous tonal wine colour, perfect for the winter season. Surely it will “sell itself”, as they say?

Glacier, a snowy white with black speckles and pretty greys. Available with or without a frosty sparkle on sock, as well as DK and aran. It would pair beautifully with one of our darker greys.

My midnight brings all the black to the yarn! Here is a side by side comparison of Dark Charcoal and Midnight Black. The former passes for black but the latter uses two different black dyes to create the deepest darkest black possible. It’s perfect for striking contrasts, edging, colourwork, and other creative details.

Poinsettia. Last batch of the year online now and IRL at @yorkshireyarnfest later in the month. Advent Calendars are also now suddenly selling fast after languishing unwanted for four months.

“Secrets of the Sea”, a gorgeous mix of teal blue and deep sea green. I wish I could dye colours like this more often because I think they’re beautiful. It’s new for @yorkshireyarnfest

Woman: exists
Internet: incoherent misogyny

A pink so pink it’s nearly purple. F the patriarchy. A special FU to those women who choose to uphold it for meagre personal gain instead of helping other non-men.

(If this post bothers you, it might be your conscience trying to tell you something!)

This was another exclusive for @wonderwoolwales - yes, I’m still working my way through showing you them all!
