My stash has grown way out of proportions the last year, but to my defence: I do knit, and I do weave as well. Right now I have 8 different items that just lack the last finishing touch: a couple of stitches, some buttons, and soforth…I’ll post pictures when I manage to get them done. (at this speed, well…hopefully in February)
But anyway; in my stash there is yarn from several of the “well-known” . Lately I have found it really joyful to search for those new and/or not so “famous” (yet), perhaps some of them are wellknown to you,perhaps not? So here is a list over some of them, and a comment on what I found interesting!
Looking for something else than Merino wool? workingthewool has handspun and handcoloured yarn from Dorset and Romney. This was a new experience for me, and I found these yarns to be really “wooly”! This yarn reminds me of the yarns my mum made from the wool of her own sheeps, lovely!
The Kangaroo Dyer : Gail Callahan; has the most stunning colours! Did you know that she just recently has written a book about handdying yarn? I have bought several yarns from her, and I have always been happy!
Moonrover has the coolest art yarn ! I am so happy to have ordered a skein of Clouds, waiting eagerly! Apart from Moonrover; I still get back to Weird&Twisted!
If you are looking for batts or roving: check out Loop - she is definitely not so unknown, but her batts are great!
The last seller hasnt anything to do with yarn, but vintage clothes, hats and purses. I couldnt help myself, I bought this one :
Isn’t it cuuuuuute?! I did not buy it to use it, I have put it up as a decoration among loads of horse-pictures! I found this one at Alleycatsvintage.
Allrightythen: now I have to get back to finishing up my pile of ” almost finished” stuff! Now, if anybody could tell me where the heck I put my sewing-machine?
