As I said previously, there's a lot of re-organising going on here. I now have an allocated space for packing all of your orders, storing all of the yummy, dyed and dried squishiness (no more dining table yarn-skeining sessions) and for typing and sending out these emails! Woohoo! There is actually another new space I can't wait to share with you, but it needs a little tidy up first!As for all of my yarny WIPS (Works In Progress), they are still being sorted out. I don't know about you, but I have LOADS! So now, I'm working my way through...

It's been a strange year, but I hope you're all enjoying some time (celebrating or not) with loved ones over the holiday period, whether it be safely in-person or virtually. I've been busy with decorating and re-organising things at home and in between, I decided to re-organise the website too! I always found it annoying that the categories wouldn't show up in the side bar. But now that I've changed things a bit, if you click on "SHOP" at the top, you'll see all the categories in the left side bar. Does that make things a little bit easier to...

Virtual Yarn Shows I'm sure I'm not the only one that keeps thinking about all the plans they'd made for 2020. And now as we come to the end of lockdown in the UK, we are told of local lockdowns that are due to start straight after! As anxiety-inducing, frustrating and sad (with the loss of a loved one) a time it has been, I am grateful for the virtual connections and re-connections I've made. I hope you're managing to keep in touch with loved ones and your local community somehow.    Yorkshire Yarn Fest  So to see 2020 off...

Some of you might be avid watchers of the Fruity Knitting podcast and will be aware of Andrew's brain tumour diagnosis. If not, this is where they bravely announced the situation. I was deeply saddened by this news. So when Kathryn of Crafternoon Treats posted her idea of forming a Fruity Knitting Yarn community project, I knew I wanted to join in! My Fruity Knitting colourway pre-order will go live tomorrow Sunday 22nd November, 2020 at 10 am GMT. It will be available on Merino Nylon 4-ply and BFL 4-ply. £5 from the sale of each skein will be donated...

 ... shopping festivities continue!  Thank you so much for your orders. The support you show my little business is so, so heartwarming! I'm packing the Yarn Club orders to hopefully get those out tomorrow. Did you have a browse around the Beyond K&S Shopping Hub? I've got my cup of tea and I'm going to sit down and have a proper look now.  News from the Dye Kitchen The Merino Aran section is a tad bigger, as I've enjoyed dyeing up more of that! I've also been experimenting with a new base and so you'll now find a 4-ply/fingering weight Tencel...
