This is the show colourway for @unravelfestival this year - called "Say it with flowers" its inspired by the age old technique of sending messages with flowers! I'm hoping the patrern for the sock i shared yesterday will also be ready as they do go together.

Sneek peak of a new sock design. I'm hoping to have this one done for Unravel as I think it will pair perfectly with the show colourway! (This isn't the show colourway BTW, its Thunder Bay, the show colourway is all at the studio) what do you think?

Items made from real wool do not need to be washed after every wear - often airing them and spot treating them us enough - but when you do wash them, handwashing is the best way to care for them and ensure they last as long as possible while still looking great.

I do a monthly Shop Update to the website, on a wednesday at 8pm GMT (BST in the summer). I load the new yarns up early and you can see them on the preview page here: www.skeinqueenyarns.co.uk/collections/... We are based in the UK and can post Worldwide.
Any questions do ask 🙂
Thanks Ciara, the bamboo give a lovely effect especially on the semi solid colours

Two skeins of sunny yellow yarn on a white background
Four skeins of yarn with blended shades of purple and teal
Four pale green skeins with areas of speckled colours including teal, red and gold
3 skeins of yarn with contrasting white and teal patches and some red brown speckles on the white areas.
Do you love creating projects with beautiful drape & shine? So do I and I usually reach for a silk blend but if you want or need an alternative try Bonnie. Its a soft, drapey blend of merino and bamboo. Its been very popular so far and these new colourways and more will be on the website tomorrow.

This was our show colourway from @walthamabbeywool - there are just these 3 skeins of crush 4ply left. Its called Midnight Chapel after the ruined Chapel near Waltham abbey that was built by King Harold in the 12th century. I love researching and dyeing these colourways for each show we go to.

Just a quick hello post from me - I dye yarn, knit and design shawls and socks and love seeing what other people are making with yarn! Hopefully I'll get the hang of it over here soon.
