Anna Gratton Ltd. – Little Wool Co. Yarnie road trip info. A blog about New Zealand yarns, knitting and life. The beauty of morning. August 7, 2015. There is something quite magical about the light in the Wairarapa. It must be the plane of the earth in this part of New Zealand. I don’t think I have ever experienced so many pretty sunrises as I have here. It makes getting up early quite exciting! They are not very good photos. Too grainy, but they captured the light perfectly. 9 thoughts on “ The be...

Anna Gratton Ltd. – Little Wool Co. Yarnie road trip info. A blog about New Zealand yarns, knitting and life. August 8, 2015. I am less than pleased with the first complete Twisted Flower. It just doesn’t ‘have it’. It even makes my foot look fat in contrast to the socks I am wearing today ( Mimer. Now there’s a new one, huh? Instead of “does this make my arse look fat”, a knitter will say “does this make my foot look fat? I LOVE that shade! I have enjoyed knitting it so much that the second sock is almo...

Alpaca yarn | Kiwiyarns Knits

Anna Gratton Ltd. – Little Wool Co. Yarnie road trip info. A blog about New Zealand yarns, knitting and life. Some of the 22 natural shades of alpaca. Alpaca. An extremely pleasurable alternative to knitting with wool. In fine grades, its softness rivals merino. It has extremely effective thermal qualities. Not surprising given the alpaca’s natural habitat is up in the snowy Andean mountains! 8211; New Zealand’s newest yarn brand, this company specialises (so far) in yarns with a heavy alpaca compo...

Anna Gratton Ltd. – Little Wool Co. Yarnie road trip info. A blog about New Zealand yarns, knitting and life. In October 2013, I became aware of the critical condition that the world’s seas are in. I decided that I needed to do something as an individual to help to raise awareness of the situation, and indeed, to give back, to Sustain the Sea. As a blogger with a small, but reasonable platform of like-minded readers, I decided that this would be a good place to start. The Ocean is Broken. Stunning. T...

Anna Gratton Ltd. – Little Wool Co. Yarnie road trip info. A blog about New Zealand yarns, knitting and life. This is one of my favourite online wool companies. A smallish, but very successful e-business, their only physical presence in the retail market appears to be at their store in rural New Zealand. It is possible to buy this yarn online. Here are some of my favourite yarns from them:. Merino Possum, 8 ply (DK). Tension (gauge): 20s x 30r on 4mm needles. 30% possum, 70% merino. I even went for walks...

Mithril (formerly known as Mythral), in 100% New Zealand Stansborough Grey wool, is a 3ply woolen-spun yarn. The sheep are farmed in the Wairarapa, and the fleece is spun in Wellington, New Zealand, especially for hand knitters and crocheters. The wool that this yarn is made from is mainly used by Stansborough. This is an image of the one-of-a-kind sheep, as seen on the ball band:. Projects knitt...

Anna Gratton Ltd. – Little Wool Co. Yarnie road trip info. A blog about New Zealand yarns, knitting and life. August 28, 2016. I hope you are enjoying a relaxing weekend. The first was the Jackyll and Hide balaclava for the young man. He is very pleased with it. The pattern is very clever how it can fold up to become an ordinary hat. This was knitted in lovely aran style Maniototo Wool. The pattern I used is my Adorable Kids Fingerless Mitts. I will launch this as a new pattern in September to kick-start...

Treliske Organic | Kiwiyarns Knits
https://kiwiyarns.wordpress.com/treliske-organics
Anna Gratton Ltd. – Little Wool Co. Yarnie road trip info. A blog about New Zealand yarns, knitting and life. Grown, processed and spun in the beautiful South Island of New Zealand, this yarn represents the creme-de-la-creme of organic yarns and sustainable farming methods. I got terribly excited when I discovered this yarn. It is remarkable! When found in a retail outlet, it is generally more highly priced. Service from the website is fast and efficient. Composition: 100% organic merino. What can I say!
