Our darling girl. Willa Rose, born October 5 at 3:33 pm. We are enjoying plenty of snuggles, naps, and wrapping her in lots of love and wool ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• #poppyseedshansel #myhandsmaking #hanselhap #jamiesonandsmith #jamiesonsofshetland
Ready for @yarndale day 2 on the @northern_yarn stand (J166)! Looking forward to another lovely day surrounded by yarns with a story. Thanks stand neighbor Julie @blackisleyarns for snapping our photo ๐Ÿ˜˜ #northernyarn #yarndale2019 #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #lovelocalwool #sheeptoskein #methera #knitknitknit #knitbritish
I am so in love with my new #lovenotesweater and not just because itโ€™s probably the fastest jumper Iโ€™ve ever knit (thank you cropped style and big needles!) Itโ€™s knit in a single strand of brand new @northern_yarn #methera and the fabric is an absolute joy. Airy, light and oh so woolly โ€” and I love the subtle depth and variation that comes from the Zwartbles and Shetland in the blend! My sweater and I will be with Kate on the Northern Yarn stand (J166) at @yarndale this weekend, where weโ€™ll have Methera in this natural as well as three dyed shades, plus a heap more of gorgeous Northern Yarn! Come say hi if youโ€™re coming to the show! #lovelocalwool #northernyarn #sheeptoskein #britishwool #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knitknitknit #myhandsmaking #yarndale2019 #tincanknits
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 youโ€™re attending!! Repost from @northern_yarn with @repostapp ใƒปใƒปใƒป 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. Itโ€™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. ยฃ16 per 100g. Stay tuned to hear more about the farms and see samples knitted up!!!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ #northernyarn #localwool #britishbreeds #purewool #independentlancashire #woolshop #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #crochetersofig #knitting #naturalfibres #sustainable #crochet
