Crafty Cat knitty bits

New storage tins ✨🌾✨and I found square ones this time too. Exclusively only available in my @folksyhq Crafty Cat shop….did you even know there was one? 😽 ✨🌾🐰🌾✨.

Still working with yarn but using it as embroidery thread to embellish a straw hat I bought in a charity shop. Embroidery isn’t my strong point, but if you squint it doesn’t look too bad!Now it’s finished, it’s ready for some sunshine adventures. ✨🌿🌸☀️🌸🌿✨.

Look at these slices of woolly heaven ✨🐑✨from lovely Lora @spinjones …..a little self treat for me 😊. I was powerless to resist these little batts and they are even prettier ✨🧶✨ in real life. For now though they are pets, stroked and admired whilst I hatch a plan for them.

Pedlars Path…..Corriedale and sari silk ✨🌀✨. Just listed on Folksy and I’ve also extended the Easter code to run until the end of the month ✨😽✨.
Hoping to bring you brand new products next week…..watch this space…. ✨🌀✨

Equinox off my super silent wheel ✨🌀✨a mix of my Albion British blends and Massam. Jen @wee.chickadee spun a lovely yarn from Massam last week and inspired me to try it too ✨🐏✨.
I don’t have any more of this colour on Albion but I do on BFL seacell on Etsy and one Massam on Folksy.

I’m slowly getting all the stock listed online ✨🧶✨these are over in my @folksyhq shop and more will be appearing in the next few days ✨🍄✨. The fibre Faery is currently trying to get back up to speed 😽.

#anniversaryvirusshawl off my hook and drying in the spring sunshine ☀️.

The small yarn mountain ready for @thesodburyyarnover ✨🧶✨. Twisted, labelled, packed . Now to panic about the rest of it. Oh and I spent part of my day being a car mechanics assistant, Oggy needed a new shock absorber ✅. Shall I paint the house as well? 😆. Ask a busy person syndrome currently.

Blossom ✨🌸✨ coming with me to @thesodburyyarnover this time next week ✨🧶✨

I’m currently barely visible above the mounds of fibre and yarns that need labelling.

So excited for next week, please find me and say hello if you’re coming. I’m in the Old Grammar School venue where the alpacas 🦙 are too.

Albion blend 🇬🇧🐑🇬🇧 all that is beautiful about British wool.
Drinks dye like a man lost in a desert 🌵for a week and spins like creamy butter 🌀🧈 🌀🫶.
This has been a fun spin matching up the bobbins to make a gradient ✨🧶✨.

Yarn noodles ✨🧶✨…..Forest on merino silk and my goodness, those colours play nicely 💫🩷✨💜💙✨💚💫. I’ve also whipped up a batch of Tom’s magic paws, just so he wouldn’t feel left out 😹.

Thank you dye gods for smiling on me benevolently today ✨🙏✨….Loki must be out as no surprises or incidents today 😆.

Getting ready for the @thesodburyyarnover in April. Did you know as well as exhibiting, I’m one of the organisers? This year we hope will be even more of a success.

Gorgeous colour yarn 🧶.

First alfresco spin of the year in the warm afternoon sunshine 🌞 . Accompanied by my grey girls with an accompanying soundtrack of jackdaws, crows and my creaky wheel. Simple pleasures all 💫🐑✨🐕‍🦺💫🐾✨🐦‍⬛💫. #thefibrefaery #woolroving #woolcraft

Where has today gone? How can it be 12 hours ago I got up? Why don’t I seem to have achieved much? Who cares?! There is fluffy stuff! ✨🐑✨.
BFL and seacell Spring ✨🌷✨song over in my @folksyhq shop.
In other news I’ve been busy dyeing yarn today….its been a while…🤞the dye gods have been kind.

That’s stunning!

Let’s have a #throwbackthursday to just over a year ago when I finished the #daisydogghan ✨🐕‍🦺✨. Look how Daisy has grown!
Pattern is available on Ravelry and Ko-Fi and uses Sylecraft Highland heathers DK. I’ll also be bringing it to @thesodburyyarnover along with some hard copies of the pattern.

Thank you!

Yarn noodles for the ever growing crochet jacket…..it’s definitely going to be sleeveless at this rate of devouring yarn ✨🧶✨. And why are Franken yarns so damn pretty when you can’t reproduce them?

Hello mi lovely Tom fanz 😻, I was caught out on pigeon patrol …but I didn’t catch one. The weather is almost warm enough for a spot of region airing…..but not quite still a bit nippy 😬🥶🌞. Enjoy the sun and patrol your patch and I’ll see you next week mee babbers. #tomtuesdaycat

Happy Tom Tuesday mi lovely Tom fanz 😻….oh look, I’m excluded out in the cold 🥶 from the photo shoot of another item that isn’t for mee 🙀.
I can’t understand why Hooma doesn’t want me in her shots? Anyway she has run out of yarn now and needs to spin some more, I can help her with that too 😈.

Good grief!!! That’s terrifying 🙀😹

Today’s impending storm means plenty of sofa time with my mandala vest project. So far, so good and even though my hand spun yarn is wandering thick and thin, it’s playing nicely ✨🧶✨. Pattern by @thelavenderchair.

Caterday 😻. Indiana indulging in some weird yoga on a handmade quilt from my friend Jo✨🪡✨.

Thank you!
