A visit to Blackwell House and State of the Knitting

Well February came and went, didn’t it?  I won’t bother with the usual excuses and laments about my blog absence — it seems intermittent blogging is my norm, for the moment.  But to those of you who’ve stuck around — thanks!

So excited and proud that these lovelies will be out in the world starting next weekend! Thanks Kate for letting me be a part of the sheep to skein journey!! Come see us at Yarndale if you’re attending!! Repost from @northern_yarn with @repostapp ・・・ We are very proud and excited to be launching our new line of Northern Yarn - Methera, next week at Yarndale! Methera is a beautiful blend of wool, handpicked from four different breeds of sheep, all sourced from four local farms in #lancashire and #cumbria. #methera (four) comes from a sheep counting system (yan, tan, tethera, methera) that was traditionally used by shepherds in northern England. It mixes a small percentage of #zwartbles with #cheviot, #shetland & BFL, resulting in a light grey base colour. It’s a 4 ply weight and worsted spun in Yorkshire for drape and strength, while still maintaining its wooliness! If you can make it to @yarndale come and meet Methera, it will then be available from the shop and online on our return. £16 per 100g. Stay tuned to hear more about the farms and see samples knitted up!!!! 🐑🐑🐑🐑 #northernyarn #localwool #britishbreeds #purewool #independentlancashire #woolshop #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #crochetersofig #knitting #naturalfibres #sustainable #crochet

Marled magic! 🌱🌿 In the midst of moving malarkey, I’ve cast on my #skystonearmwarmers , this month’s Boost Your Knitting pattern designed by @knitsonik ! I’ve not got much done, but boy do I love how the J&S 2ply Jumperweight in Shade 34 and Jamiesons of Shetland Spindrift in Moss look marled together —that dapply, shire green 😍 my inspiration for the project is a favorite house plant. Hopefully I’ll sneak in a few more rows between packing! #boostyourknitting #acknitwear #knitsonik #jamiesonandsmith #jameisonofshetlad #myhandsmaking #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting
