Honestly, I wasn't sure about this yarn when it arrived as it wasn't as bright as the photos on the listing. HOWEVER! I knitted a pair of socks with it and realised that the colourway is perfect as is. The way that the yarn is dyed means that the socks are clearly siblings, but one has a prevalence of green and one has a prevalence of purple AND I LOVE IT. Soft and fluffy, pleasure to knit with.

Independent-minded hand dyer from the English heartland

Hi there! I'm Frances, I create hand dyed yarn from my workshop in deepest Leicestershire. I have a background in art, and was getting frustrated with some of the limited colours in hand dyed yarn, so I started dyeing my own. With some knowledge of colour, and a lot of impatient experiments, I've built up my own palette and ways of dyeing. I try not to follow trends, but instead produce something beautiful, something useful and good to knit with, and something that excites the eye.

I use primarily sock weight yarns, concentrating on blends that are fit for purpose and hold colour well. If you're going to spend hours knitting a sock, you don't want the heel to dissapear in one wear! I'm a knitter myself, so everything I do is tested, usually on my own feet...

I also produce a few hand knitted items, usually lace. I grew up in Nottingham, which has an old established Lace Market, and I'm proud I can carry on the tradition of lace knitting in my region.

Additional policies and FAQs

I'm afraid I don't routinely do custom orders due to high demands on my time from regular dyeing, and the difficulty of reproducing exact skeins or colours.
