Lately my knitting has not been going well. I tried to use up a ball of alpaca to make a little triangular necker. I find these useful for wearing about the house when the heating isn’t on. I have a mustard coloured one that has been much admired and those I’ve gifted have been well received. However my latest effort is just too small, I may give it to Elodie’s doll Baby Jonas. I also knit some fingerless gloves for a friend using up stock, they seem enormous so I am hoping he has extra large hands.
However my knitting experience is looking up since I discovered and ordered sock wool from Northern Yarns a wonderful ethical supplier of goodness.
The ball band tells you everything you need to know about the British wool and recycled nylon. I can vouch for the soft silky texture and beautiful shades, my lovely parcel even included a quality tea bag to get me started.
Amazingly I paid only £7.20 for each 100 g ball, what are you waiting for get ordering get knitting, it would be rude not to.
Wow, I've not heard of them, I do love the colours, normally I get yarn from a German brand.
