S u r i S i l k DK.
Brand new! This yarn is a brushed Suri alpaca DK with a silk core. It’s wonderfully snuggly like super soft kittens or alpacas 🤷‍♀️

90% Baby Suri Alpaca, 10% silk

246yds per 100g.

The yarn takes the dye well and speckles spread softly.

I made two swatches with size 7 & 8 needles on size 7 the fabric is lovely and holds its shape, on 8 the drape is super nice. Something to play with! This is a great yarn for those who can’t tolerate mohair.

Gauge on 7 is 16sts and 28 rows over 4”
Gauge on 8 is 14/15 sts and 22 rows over 4”.

WPI is 20 and would work as a lovely weft.

C l o u d 8 7 4.
This yarn is a dreamy fluffy lace, a superb alternative to mohair lace. It makes super light fabrics. It takes the dye well and looks just dreamy.

I used a US8 and gauge was 16 sts & 26 rows for 4”

I also stranded it with Tibetan 3ply on US8 and got 16sts & 28 rows.

WPI: 20. Suitable for a weft.

65% Baby suri Alpaca, 35% silk. 437yds per 50g skein.

One of our recent additions. This yarn is absolutely dreamy. It’s in my top ten for sure. Composition is 65% super baby alpaca & 35% extra fine 17.5 micron merino. 328yds per 100g. It really feels like luxury. It’s got almost a cashmere handle with a velvety soft texture. The twist really makes this yarn it helps it keep its structure in knitting really well. I used US 2.5 for this swatch, and got 26sts and 46 rows over 4”.
WPI is 20/21
Would work as a warp or weft.

Sister to Silky Boucle this is the brushed version of that yarn. It has a very soft muted fluff, and knits up almost like a chenille, a perfect fluff yarn for summer as the silk keeps things cool. This yarn dyes nicely, speckles merge softly into the texture.

70% mulberry silk, 30% fine merino, 219yds per 50g skein

Gauge on US6 is 19 sts and 28 rows. You could play around with the needle size for this yarn.

WPI 15
Works nicely as a textured weft.

Hi Peeps!
Happy new year!

We are excited to announce we have a brand new range our Puntas Merino. It's merino sourced from the Puntas Arenas area in Chile and is comparable to our current yarns, it's lovely and soft; 21 micron, has a nice colour. It's superwash and dyes well.

We have 4 weights of yarn: a Chunky like BRB but without the nylon, a lovely high twist 2ply DK, a Sock and a fi*****ng weight which have the same twist as Sheilas sock, but has more yardage which will appeal to plenty of people.

We also made minis in the sock yarn.

Any questions just let me know!

Secondly, we have Cupro fi*****ng. Cupro is made from the cotton waste that's leftover from cotton spinning, the fibres are very short and are converted into a longer staple fibre in a process similar to Tencel. It's soft, with a gentle shine and it's strong. I love this yarn, it dyes really nicely with Procion MX dyes.

Hi Peeps!
We have two new things in stock, which I'll post separately for each.

We now have a superwash merino fabric which is quite unique, It’s a medium to heavy-weight fabric. Each Meter (1.09 yds x 1.53 yds) weighs approximately 11.9ozs. This is sold in 5-meter packs. It sucks up dye like a dream and works so nicely with natural dyes too. You can use it for Shibori, to dye for matching project bags for yarn, for applique, embroidery, blankets, baby slings, the ideas are endless. It's 21.5-micron merino so nice and soft. I've added some pictures of what I've used it for when testing. Just type fabric into the search bar on the website and it will come up.

Peeps! We've done an update and it gives me great pleasure to say that we still have plenty of minis in stock 😂😂

From the update we still have:

Sheila's gold minis
Platinum sock minis & micro's
Sheila's sparkle minis
MCN high twist mini
Sheila's titanium minis

What a joy to be able to write that lol!!!

Happy dyeing Peeps

Hi Peeps,

If it arrives before 3, we will do an update today, otherwise, it will be tomorrow. You will receive the usual newsletter when the stock has been added to the website. I'll post here too.
Sorry folks

Hi Peeps
I've been working on some new products, including embroidery threads. We will be doing a selection including a cellulose/vegan one, silk, and merino & silk blend. These will be packaged as small hanks, but I wanted to get feedback really if this would be something you would use? I am super excited about these, but need to put the feelers out before we place the order so we have an idea for quantities.
Thoughts?

Hi Peeps,
It seems like we are getting closer to normal with stock levels, most of the popular yarns are well stocked, yes there are a few things we are waiting for, but it's alot better than it was.
Thanks for all your patience over the past few months, we really appreciate your support. 🥰

Hi peeps! Incase you hadn’t seen the email, the website has been updated 🧶

10/23/2020

Hi Peeps... just to let you know, the website has been updated again today.

10/22/2020

The website is up and yarn updated. Hopefully we also have more arriving tomorrow as well, and we will update accordingly, as far as we know the container is on track to arrive tomorrow morning. I'll let you know here again tomorrow.

10/20/2020

Hi Everyone, Andys sent an email out, I might as well copy and paste it here, not good news about the container. 😭😭

I am very sorry to say that we have again been let down by CMA.
They failed to deliver the container today due to an internal paperwork error.
I had checked with them yesterday and was assured that everything was in place.
The containers are now booked in for Thursday and Friday.

We fully appreciate how annoying and disruptive this all is, but these matters are beyond our control. I can assure you we will not be using CMA going forward.

We will send out a further newsletter just as soon as the containers land at our warehouse dock.

Kindest Regards
Andy

Peeps
We have good news 🤞
We have a container booked in to arrive Tuesday and another on Thursday. Andys sending an email out this afternoon with the info, so keep an eye out.
Hugs everyone.

Hi Peeps...
Still no update on where the container is, the shipping company (4th largest in the world) was cyber attacked and everything has been offline for days, therefore we can't track it.
We are incredibly frustrated, as we know you are.
We will update here as soon as we have any more information.
I'm sorry folks 😔
