Shop Update Preview :)

These, and lots of others will be uploaded into my shop tonight, around 8pm :)

Happy Shopping!!

Another Big Pile 'o Yarrrn :)

I have been working on my second trade order for a "Proper" Bricks and Mortar shop this week. The shop is called "...Have You any Wool" run by the most esteemed Charlotte Morgan :)
The shop is located in Swansea, and used to be called "Mumbles"......
Photoed on the wet ground in between showers.....sorry Charl..but you did want a pictoOOore ;)

SortaSolid Radiance

As much as I love doing space~dyeing in bold and bright colours, sometimes I do actually yearn subtlety...yes, believe it or not, I DO ;)
So, I have been having a little experiment with my Radiance this week , immersion dyeing, and I am really pleased with the results. I have started a new project with it, the HeelHead Scarf by Carissa Browning, and the cables are really popping out of the knitting....

Happy Birthday Mummy, love Dan and Joel

Mummy Spinning

Mummy Dyeing in her Studio

Doodie-tastic

A friend of mine needed a little boost recently, so I made her a "Doodie" out of a skein of Radiance. "Doodie" is a pattern from WoollyWormhead's Wee Woolly Toppers Children's Hats Book....really easy to size up for an adult, in fact all I did was change the yarn..... :)


I was so in love with the style, I made one for me too, out of some handspun :) No bobble on mine though, bit of a crown decrease FAIL......lolz.....

Tampico revisited :)

Remember this Merino/Tencel and Merino 3 ply Handspun??

Well, I gave a skein to a friend of mine, and she made this for herself !!! Isn't it just beautiful??? So organic, like it's evolving and changing right before your eyes.
She was so happy with how it turned out, she wrote up the pattern **grins**

Thankyou Everyone!!!

You all helped me raise £37.84 for MSF/Doctors without Borders
So I rounded it up to £38 :)
ThankyouThankyouThankyou.......we have made a difference!!

It's finished....FINIIIIISHED !!!!! *grins*

Welcome to my Dyeing Den!!!!
Here begins your virtual tour ;)

This is the far end of the studio. In the left corner is where my new Tea urn will live, for boiling water to mix dyes and, of course, cups of tea and coffee :) Under the worktop in the corner is where all my pans will live, and I do have quite a few...I can see a dyebath destash coming in the near future....lolz
This end is also where I will store all of my dyes.....

All Hail the Shameless Cooker!!!

This is the dyeing area, there's room on the Shameless Cooker for 2 big dish kettle and then a smaller one on the fish kettle burner in the middle :) Husbeast is fashioning me a hanging rack system as I type...so I can dip~dye 1.2 kg of yarn in one go, should I need to...whereas in my kitchen it was 400g at a time... hehehe......awesome! When the oven is fixed, I'll be able to dye 400g of fibres in there at a time, as opposed to 100g in my kitchen oven...
So, as you can imagine, my daily productivity is going to skyrocket!!! and with being in my own space I can do extra in the evenings should I need to, and I can now work in school holidays......so the future looks very bright for both MaMalonglegs and her prospective/existing customers!!

This is going to be the admin area, where I will store all my finished yarns and packing/labelling supplies, and do all my packing :)

I am so pleased with it, and have been itching to get in there for weeks!! Husbeast still needs to finish the painting this weekend, and the builder wants to come back and grout the floor tiles....not sure I'll be able to vacate it for longer than a day though :(
So...who's gonna be my first vistor??
I will be organising an "official" opening party...but, as long as you contact me the day before, you are more than welcome to descend on me at any time!!!

Free P & P on all orders for 1 week.......

.........and I will donate what you would have paid to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) for their brilliant work in Haiti......

WoollyWormhead and Carol Feller of Stolen Stitches are also both donating 50% of their single pattern sales to the cause as well...so go and buy one of their patterns now!!!

Everyone is a winner :D
