COVID-19 Update
I hope you are all well and safe - both emotionally and physically. While I am still allowed to use the post office I will be keeping my shop open for you. My postage habits will change slightly however as I normally build in a post office ru to my daily school run. Obviously I'm not doing that any more and to reduce postage days as much as possible I will now only be posting on Mondays and probably one other day in the week (My post office is in my local Co-op and we go threough bread and milk like crazy!).
Be well, Stay well x

Patterns
I like to knit my socks toe up – it means that I don’t have to use any kitchener stitch unless I put in an afterthought heel – which I don’t in
this pattern!
I hope you like these socks as much as I do!
I like to wear something around my neck when it gets a bit cool, but not too cool that you need a coat. That is where
cowls come in, Wear as a single loop or double loop, whatever takes your fancy
A little bit about me: I have had a love of all things fibre and yarn since my eldest was in nappies, it was my need for funky, colourful pure wool that led me to learning how to dye my own yarns and my business grew from there. My mum was a textiles teacher while I was a child. My home was always full of taffeta and other fine fabrics (well, it was the 80's!). I love the modern fabrics you can get in the UK now, my love of fabric runs deep and I have quite the stash at home.
I am both a dyer and sewer, making a range of items from project bags, to handmade underwear that I make from either designer or exclusively printed fabrics.
I also have a range of hand dyed yarns of which my particular favourites are my Greckles Range of yarns and my Outlander Yarns,
I have a selection of patterns and yarn kits available including my popular 30 Shades of Rainbow blanket kits.I also have the most fabulous *Big Girl Pants* born out of a desire to provide women with fab, funky, functional and most of all comfortable underwear - join the Big pants revolution!!
I custom make in sizes from a UK 6 to UK 30 and I have an instock range of sizes 6 - 20
