http://watercoloursandlace.blogspot.com/2014/06/coming-up-for-air.html
Tales of an indie dyer and her obsession with yarn, lace knitting and botanical art. Sunday, 22 June 2014. Coming up for air . I can't believe how long it's been since I posted anything here! The last few months have been incredibly busy - having completed my botanical art diploma course, we went straight into yarn event season so the dyepots have been working overtime to keep up with the stock I need. Lots of locals, plus many people from further afield, all enjoying the fibre-related goodies on show...

Watercolours and Lace: Fibre-East Fun!
http://watercoloursandlace.blogspot.com/2014/07/fibre-east-fun.html
Tales of an indie dyer and her obsession with yarn, lace knitting and botanical art. Thursday, 31 July 2014. We had a great time at Fibre-East last weekend - warm, sunny weather and a lovely selection of stands meant lots of visitors. It was our best show to date for sales, so a big thank you to everyone who came to see us. It was a little too warm for most people to think about buying wool yarns, but we sold lots of silks and alpacas, ideal for summer accessories. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tales of an indie dyer and her obsession with yarn, lace knitting and botanical art. Wednesday, 11 September 2013.

Watercolours and Lace: Mohair Silk Lace - Change to Skein Length
http://watercoloursandlace.blogspot.com/2014/06/mohair-silk-lace-change-to-skein-length.html
Tales of an indie dyer and her obsession with yarn, lace knitting and botanical art. Monday, 30 June 2014. Mohair Silk Lace - Change to Skein Length. The Mohair Silk yarn I have been selling (all dyelots starting MML) has been shown and marked as being 500m/50g, which was how it was described on the website of the spinners from whom it was bought. I noticed when I bought a batch of this yarn recently that it was now shown as being 420m/50g. And queried this change with the spinners. Sample knitted in Bri...
