Wow – photos

Wonders of Wool was such a busy market, I didn't have time to take photos until half-way through so lots of goodies are already missing here.

Still – here are some photos from Happy-go-knitty's stall at Wonders of Wool, Wellington Underground market.

Enjoy!

My range of yarn includes BFL sock yarn,
silk/merino lace weight, 4ply cotton and the odd other quality.
I dye semi-solid and self-striping yarn.

Going to Craft2.0?

Are you planning to visit Craft2.0 on the 29 October?

Are you a bit curious about my new sock yarn?

Well, I'm going to dye heaps more to bring to Craft2.0

so if there are any specific colours you would like to see,

please leave a comment below!

I will dye semi-solids and self-striping,

BFL and 75%wool/25%nylon.

You can see samples of my sock yarn here.

No obligations to buy it of course,

but you might find it hard to resist!

PS. Please let me know soon, so that I can have it ready!

From wool to cuff

My very clever sister has dyed and spun me some beautiful merino.

Since it is hand-spun, it slowly shifts in colour and I thought that
would be really cool for cuffs. I decided to make the cuffs with
a frill at the end and they have some subtle beads around the edge.

Hand-dyed, hand-spun, hand-knitted...
It doesn’t get much more hand-made than that!

And I made some cuffs stripy in a colourful
Happy-go-knitty kind of way.

I have dyed some more orange and pink cotton.
I didn’t have many skeins left to dye,
but more will arrive in a couple of weeks.

Want to see more of my sister’s gorgeous hand-spun yarn?
Check it out here.

...and now in colour

I have dyed the 12ply core spun wool – aren’t they just delicious?

Knitted on needles 10–12mm it’s enough for a super soft scarf!

100gm for $18.
