Remember the exciting collaboration, earlier this year?! Five indie dyers and 30 days of yarn during the Islamic month of Ramadan! We're running it again and pre-orders are now live! The first time around, we were quite rushed. We encountered some postage issues and teething problems and so we're giving ourselves plenty of time to put together this wonderful box for you!Who are the dyers? Abuelita Fiber Company - Fatima creates beautiful naturally dyed yarn on non-superwash bases, sourced locally in Virginia, USA. She'll be heading to the farms to get all of the wool for our boxes!

Thanks to all of the London Dusk love we've received AND the Ramadan Wool Club too! Thank you! I really don't know what else to say. London Dusk Pre-Orders are still available if you were after a skein or two. The Ramadan Wool Club slots sold out fairly quickly. You really blew us away with that! In case you might be interested in one next year, drop me an email...

I'm not sure what happened this week! I moved the dyeing in to the "Dye Shed" and all of the collaborations happened at the same time! Well, by "all" I mean two! And I've absolutely loved working with some amazing people! Around The World in 80 Socks by Mina Philipp When Mina Philipp, the designer and podcaster also known as the Knitting Expat, asked me if I'd like to dye something up for her upcoming sock club, of course I had to! I dyed up London Dusk, inspired by Mina's hometown, as well as my own, London! If you didn't...
