Fibreholics

Edit: The bags are now live, go get ‘um!!

The next round of the Fibreholics sample bags goes live sometime this weekend.  The sample bags are a great way to try out a few different UK independent dyers in one go.  The bags contain 20g – 25g samples from five different dyers. There are yarn bags or fibre bags.  Sign up for the newsletter to find out exactly when the bags go on sale, demand is usually high!

I have both yarn and fibre samples with Fibreholics for this month.

Wharfe Wool Fair, 10 May 2014

I’m busy preparing stock for a new wool show coming up soon.  Wharfe Wool Fair is taking place at Otley Courthouse on Saturday 10 May 2014, 10am – 4pm.  It’s a show aimed at knitters, crocheters, weavers, spinners and felters with local Yorkshire suppliers, demonstrations and workshops.

I’ll have a range of British 100% Bluefaced Leicester sock yarn and 80% British Bluefaced Leicester and 20% Silk lace weight yarn.  I’ll also have British fibre for spinning or felting, Bluefaced Leicester, Shetland and Wensleydale.

Have a look at the website for details of the exhibitors and workshops.  A little nearer the time I’ll give a sneak preview of what I’ll have on the stall.
