Well,
the year is already flying by, winter is here and my daughter is in her
second term at primary school. Finding enough time for the pleasurable
things in life like stitching is getting harder during the days, but I
am finding my evenings are freeing up a bit more as worn out school
kids are easier to coax into bed especially now that it is dark
earlier. We are covering lots of the latest things in th Victoria Ellen
newsletter. From Afghans, more
Shepherds Bush, Something in Common, Silver Lining, Jennifer Pudney,
Bags by De Selby, Beads, Winnie the Pooh kits and the latest fashion
poncho from the Rare Yarns Company and
more .... |
| The
Rare Yarns Company use the finest natural fibres and colours of
alpacas, llamas, sheep, yak, camel and goats from Australia, New
Zealand, Tibet and Peru. These unusual animals make beautiful natural
yarns that display colours from subtle whites to rose greys, mahogany
reds to blue blacks. Most are dye free yarns, however there is a
contemporary range of dyed yarns called Rare
Essentials. These unique yarns
provide subtle shifts in texture and colour. They are light to wear,
gloriously soft to touch and exceptionally warm. The yarns lend well to
a simple elegance in design. Just check out the shade
cards. |
