New wool

Thought I'd post a few pictures of some of our wools that are new or that we've taken delivery of new colours in.

A trio of Artesano Arans, a beautiful 50% Alpaca/50% Wool mix yarn. We currently have in stock the three colours pictured - Walnut, Pine and Sunset. Though we can order any of the many other colours on request.

The stunning Fyberspates Scrumptious DK shown here in Water.

Artesano Inca Cloud, 100% alpaca 4ply. The colours are jewel rich and I particularly love the purple shown below.

We have about 10 balls of each colour at the moment and won't be getting any more in stock as Artesano have discontinued the range in favour of their standard alpaca.

Manos del Uruguay Maxima in:

 Red

 Blue

Scrumptious Purple - this is my favourite but we only have one left at the moment.

We've also got a dark/forest green colour but I'm afraid I've not got any in my stock, what we have left is with Marcia.

Again, as with the Arans, we can order other colours on request.

Market on 19th March and a new knitting/crochet group

I went today to a new crochet and knitting group being held at a pub down the road from our stall, I was arrived towards the end of the session and there were four others there. There had apparently been others there earlier, the four that were there seemed very friendly - one I had previously met at the stall a few weeks back - and the group leader is a stylist assistant who seems to have lots of enthusiasm and ideas. I'll post details another time.

For now some close ups from the market today. I will get better at this photography lark but for now I'm just concentrating on posting! It was lovely today, the sun always brings out lots of people and it always feels a bit like a street party to me.

I want this jug for myself!

Some of the beautiful handmade Kate Halliday buttons we stock.

Sorry....

Never did post that photo of the new boots! Oh dear, I think I've finally cracked the photo business so hopefully I'll be better now. Promises promises.

Winter on the stall was MISERABLE. Here's a photo, not exactly sure when it was taken but it wasn't in the depths of winter that's for sure. I think it's some time in February.

Last Saturday was great, it was a lovely sunny day, well morning, the first nice weekend day in a long while and there were lots of people milling about drunk on sunshine and good cheer.
