I’m a beginner lace knitter. It takes concentration to follow a pattern for every stitch. I lose my place all the time. And at the end of the row my remaining stitch count is wrong! 🙈

If I can see the lace pattern forming in the rows I’ve already knit it’s much easier to keep my place.

Try this genius hack: Steam your project while you’re still knitting. It’s a cheater’s guide to blocking. It settles the lace pattern, you can see it more clearly, and it’s much easier to keep your project on track. 🧶✨
Have you tried this before?

Happy Days! Yes that is the fluffy mohair we are dyeing in the studio today. As you can see when we say hand dyed we mean it.

This reel feels like a Monday meditation - so sit back, relax and let the dyers do the work.

Tomorrow is SALE Day!

Here are some of the vibrant, unique colours you will find online when we open our Annual Sale tomorrow at 4pm Cape Town Time - That’s 4pm Frankfurt, 3pm London, 10am NYC, 9am Houston, 8am Denver, 7am San Francisco, midnight in Sydney, 11pm in Tokyo

Colours will be grouped and listed by yarn base and are mainly Merino DK, Merino Twist, and Aran Single.
There will only be a couple of colours in Merino Lace, Proper Sock and Kidsilk where we had some batches with colour issues.
In Fluffy Mohair there will be just one beautiful blue, somewhere between Guinea Fowl and Cape Storm and there are more than 10 skeins of it!

In DK, Twist and Aran we have dyed 10 skeins per colour so there is a sweater quantity available if you decide quickly.
