A set of 3 self striping skeins in trans pride flag colours wound individually into little piles. Closer to the front of the image are 5 mini skeins arranged like the trans pride flag, these minis are also speckled in rainbow colours.

arranged on a tie dye background are several charms, all pride themed. There are several pride flags made to look like sloshing liquid in potion bottles and a larger spellbook charm with progress pride flag flames coming out of it.

Happy Pride Month!
Just in case anyone was wondering I wont be shutting up about Trans rights, you shouldn't either.

Anyway the shop is reopening tomorrow and we've got some new pride related yarn and accessories launching.

Mercury (me), a fat white genderqueer person, stands in a 3/4 view facing the camera. They are wearing a brightly coloured, variegated knitted tank top (the Staple Tank by Claire Jackson) in shades of yellow, green, orange, and pink, with splashes of black. The tank top has black ribbing around the collar, armholes, and bottom hem. Their arms are open wide and they are smiling.

I finished test #knitting the #StapleTank by @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social using my gorgeous "Love Yourself... Or Else" #yarn from @sisterananseyarn.bsky.social ! I'm so pleased with it and I learned so much about shaping. The bust darts I made aren't perfect but they will be on the next one!

A rectangular silver hotel pan sits on a stove. It’s filled with four skeins of freshly dyed yarn in water. The skeins are black with pops of gold, purplish red and blue and have shower curtain rings on one end.

Dyeing up some gorgeous yarn that’s inspired by the Common Starling. Can’t wait to see it dry!

Another lefty here, and this is why I only get the Leuchtterm 1917-likes: bound notebooks that open *flat*. It's so much better than spiral! (I don't care about the brand itself; notebooks in that style all work.)
