Jazzy Perfection

Well, here it is, my test knit for the new yarn I have decided to stock, a 100% silk, multi-ended sock yarn... 'Perfection'
I am really pleased with it!
The pattern is 'Sweet Jazz' by Samantha Roshak, and it was really easy-to-follow...
There are a few n00b lace mistakes in there, but if you don't look too closely you'd never know... *WiNK*

Perfection!!

Meet Perfection, my new pure silk base yarn :)

I was given a few samples at Fibre Flurry last weekend, by my lovely Yarn Pusher friend, Andy and out of all of them, this one blew me away the most.

Since the success of semi-Precious, and the way it shines, I have been yearning for a pure silk Plied yarn to play with.

Well I got my wish...!

Perfection is made up of six plies (or 'ends' as they are correctly known in spinner lingo), quite loosely plied... 400m of sheer luxury.

All I need to do now is finish my current WIP and I can start test knitting this skein of pure loveliness.

I am going to get myself some lace needles, as I suspect it will be a bit 'splitty' if I just use run of the mill needles....no pun intended there *WiNKS*

For all you hardcore lace knitters out there... it will also be available in 800m lace!!

It's a Halloween Treat... no tricks... honest!!

Because it's a spooky day today, I have got together with one of my bestest buddies, Lottie, to bring you this special edition mini- Tote bag and yarn collaboration :)

The set will consist of one skein of sock yarn, in either the "Yoda" or the "Goblin" colourway, and a lovely little project bag in an orange skull fabric, and there's only one of each available.

The bag measures approx, 11 inches by 13 inches, and is fully lined in black cotton.

The set will cost £20 ... and will have free UK P&P...

Music, Sweet Music at FibreFlurry!!

Babylonglegs, NicsKnots and Atomic Knitting have all come together for this years show, and we bring you a musical themed collaboration!

You’ll get a space-dyed skein of high twist Merino Sock yarn, in soft “confectionary” colours, a beautifully made guitar print project bag, and a lovely little Violin Stitch marker… for when you need to fiddle :D

There will be 10 available to buy, either at the Friday Night Preview/Quiz Night, or on the actual day of the show, at a price of £22.

I am sure you won’t be able to resist this sweet little package…

See you there!!
