Stay Calm and snuggle with yarn

Well, how things can change in not even two weeks: Two weeks ago we were all having a ball that weekend at the handknitters guild yarns and craft show and this weekend the universe obviously had other plans and we are all in lock down in Victoria…again. As I said earlier in an Instagram and facebook post: it’s really no use stressing ourselves out , instead, try and keep as calm and possible and knit or spin. At least I know that doing that REALLY tales the stress out of everything. In the meantime: please stay safe ! We can do this!

I have been busy straight after the show to get all the May clubs dyed and ready. It has taken me a bit longer than I thought, because the weather really has not been cooperating (super wet and super cold doesn’t work wonders on getting fibres and yarns dry ) AND to tops ot all off, Paul has come down with a bad cold. Mind you, he says it’s a flu… the one that is probably all known to us as the horrible “man flu”. It has taken it’s toll on my work hours though, carrying hot teas, hot toddies and soup out to appease the terrible state he was in…cough cough. Don’t worry btw: he went and got himself tested (just in case, although we live way out from any of the possible infection sites, but one can never be too sure) and the result was that he was COVID free. Yeah ! Me, on the other hand, am running terribly behind so all the club parcels I wished could have shipped today will be going out on Monday morning. Yes, I am still working, yes I can still go to the post office and yes, the post office will still deliver your parcels. No need to panic at all. I am here to enable and available to provide you with any ant stress balls of yarn as necessary ! Always happy to help !
I will immediately go onto the dyeing project of the June club so they will be shipped mid June. Teasers will appear on your screen next week !

Today I am offering you some very special IxCHeL Sock yarn in what I call my “Botanical dye range” : All naturally dyed sock yarn in a 4ply (or fingering weight as they also are called) , all spun locally, especially for us in Victoria! Amazing to knit with and use for socks, shawls or jumpers! Also,don’t forget!: the club sign ups for the clubs starting in July are still open for sign ups !

If you would like to receive a surprise parcel every month that takes you on an art journey, where you discover new artists, their stories and their paintings, you also see my interpretation of their work of art into yarn and fibre. It’s exciting! It’s fun ! and it’s like a gift that keeps on giving ! Message or email me please to order or sign up for the clubs ! I am also taking custom orders.

Have a relaxing weekend!!
