  • Inkling by Kate Davies

    £20.00

    Another beautiful book from Kate Davies filled eleven designs (I have a couple on my knit list already), belts made on an inkle loom and the usual thought provoking essays and musings. A book that already has a place on my bookshelf.

  • Jamiesons and Smith 2ply Jumper Weight Cones

    £37.00

    This lovely yarn from Jamieson’s and Smith is 100% Shetland wool collected from over 300 crofters across shetland.

    This yarn is traditionally used for fair isle knitting as it is easy to weave in ends and block. It can also be used for other 4ply patterns. These cones are perfect for both weavers and machine knitters.

    500g cones: 2300m/2500yds

     

  • Kremke superfine cobweb merino

    £9.50

    A beautiful mulesing free merino from Kremke Soul wool. It is lace weight 30/2 with 750m on each spool. One would be enough to knit a cobweb scarf but the range of colours work really well when combining and working graduated colour work. They can be used together, work extremely well with the Kremke Stellaris and also with any other yarn.

    Each spool is 50g/750m. Washable at 30 degrees.
    If used on it’s own 1.5-2mm needle or hook and 40stitches x 50 rows for a standard 10cm/4inch gauge square.

  • Recycled Sari Silk 100g Ropes.

    £9.00

    At The Lace Knittery we love this stuff. It is the loom waste from saris produced in India and rather than going to landfill we use them. It gives extra income to the local workforce as well as saving something beautiful and useful from waste.

    At The Lace Knittery HQ we have used it on it’s own to spin with, which it does like a dream on both drop spindles and spinning wheels. It blends beautifully with any other fibre and a little goes a long way, you only need about 10% to get the colour and effect. Our customers continually amaze us and love it as much as we do. They have used it to not only spin with but to (from the top!) wet felt, needle felt, knit with, crochet with, weave on a tablet loom, weave into knitting on a machine, make into bowls, couched in hand embroidery, used in machine embroidery and use in mixed media.

    Each rope unplaits into a 100g ball. Mostly of silk but some cotton or other fibres may be in the mix.

    Enjoy!

  • Scheepjes Whirligig Yarn Cakes

    £69.00

    A beautiful fade yarn from Scheepjes. It is double knit and fades through the colours as you knit. Each Cake is 450g and a whopping 1000m which means even though they are appear to be a considered purchase there is more than enough yarn to complete a whole garment.  I managed to knit a large shawl, scarf and wristlets from a single cake. The yarn glides smoothly and is a pleasure to use.

    Each is packed in it’s own cardboard box making them a great gift too!

    20% alpaca 70% virgin wool.

    3.5-4mm needle or hook size.

    20 stitches to 26 rows on 3.5mm needles for a 10x10cm square.
