Sara trained in fashion, working as a Fashion and Textile Designer British Fashion Designers. She dabbles in lots of wooly crafts including felt making, weaving, crochet - especially spinning and knitting.
She creates some lovely hand dyed yarns & fibre. I've often spotted her stall at festivals, it's always busy and looks great. I particularly love the curly locks of fluff she dyes!
Sara says she strives to source the very best of products to sell. At the moment, she works with a selection of UK Farmers (locally where possible), crafts people and suppliers to be able to do this.

Bohemia is the prettiest colourway! Love it. Normally I don't like variegated yarns, but these colours all go together so well.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing on Twitter @KnittyNadia
Starburst is gorgeous -- all sunny and cheerful. Though Malachite is awfully nice too.
ReplyDeleteGunmetal and Claret or Gunmetal and silver. I just can't make up my mind!
ReplyDeleteI think the color 'petal' is just lovely. Thanks! Mamagiff on ravelry
ReplyDeleteIf I only have to chose one, I would chose pewter. The colors are all beautiful!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the combination of Absinth and Gunmetal because I think the combination would be great together in a shawl or sweater. Rav ID; Sandee8908
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the MED....
ReplyDeleteI'm squiggi on ravelry
My two favourite colourways are Autumn Leaves and The Med. Autumn Leaves because of its warm and bright, happy colours and their beautiful combination, it creates a warm feeling inside. :) The Med because turquoise is one of my favourite colours and it just looks so pretty that I can't not pick it. :)

silver & night or gunmetal & cranberry would make a lovely shawl to help keep warm on the long approaching winter days ahead
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Violet.
ReplyDeleteI love wintery, autumn shades but I have to say Claret, Olive or Pewter because I love a good grey it goes with most colours. I bet they feel so nice! My rav is Killtocraft x

ReplyDeleteMy 2 favorites are 'Gunmetal' and 'Summer Flowers.' I've never worked with variegated yarn before and don't usually wear bright colors but Summer Flowers makes me feel adventurous. Gunmetal is more my personality, and what a lovely shade it is. If I am the lucky winner...I think I will choose to be adventurous this time and go with Summer Flowers after all. =)
ReplyDeleteI am "TempusMori" on Ravelry. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I really like the teal/turquoise variegated yarns like lightening. I'm Meagan Howes on Facebook and I'll share the giveaway there.
ReplyDeleteI love the absinth colour as it reminds me of a lovely summer sea, just what I need for these dark, damp days. Thank you. Quiltercaroline on rav
ReplyDeleteAlways drawn to variegated yarns - would love Bluebell Woods for the subtle mix of colours, or After the Storm as it's my favourite combination of blues and brown/orange. lucy.jennison at yahoo dot co dot uk
ReplyDeleteIt is so difficult to choose just one because there are so many lovely colors. If I had to pick just one, it would be Fall Leaves. Fall is my favorite season. There are few things lovelier than a landscape filled with colorful fall leaves. Shared on FB and Twitter. I'm zookyla on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hard decision! I love "Night" because it reminds me of the Doctor's beloved TARDIS. As a purple person, I'm also so very drawn to the tonals Grape and Sarsaparilla and the variegated Peony and Sweet Pea. Heaven!!!
ReplyDeleteRav: PonchySue
I love the color Night!!!! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI like absinthe and violet, shared on FB and twitter
ReplyDeleteHard to choose but today my favourites are Raspberry and Raspberry Chocolate - I'd love to knit those together in a good sized shawl while eating dark chocolate raspberry creams :-)
ReplyDeleteLesleyTaylor on Ravelry
EMO - it's just so me!
ReplyDeleteLove her varigated ILFRACOMBE yarn! It's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteRav: alikat2004
Absinth is my favourite it reminds me of the beautiful teal coloured evening skies we get in late summer just before they start to get the first hints of pink from the setting sun
ReplyDeleteDartmoor is my favourite because it reminds me of many happy family holidays spent in Devon :)
ReplyDeleteSally Hislop (partygirl on Ravelry)
Thank you :)
Oooh, I think Gunmetal. Goes with the weather atm (dreich and dismal!) but a bright contrast heel and toe would look fabulous with it!
ReplyDeleteIt is getting dark now so I will go with the 'night'. Such wonderful colours
ReplyDelete(feltie fox on Ravelry)
i have to pick just one?! but they're all so pretty... :P
ReplyDeletei love the rich tones of Claret, and the depth of Night. Petal is really sweet and innocent, but not something i can see myself wearing. unless it was a highlight colour with black or navy...
but really. i love them ALL!
Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteAbsinth is STUNNING! I would choose it because it would lend a beautiful pop of color to any neutral outfit (and I've been wearing a lot of neutrals as of late). I'm AprilDaugherty on Ravelry!

ReplyDeleteI adore Bluebell Woods!! The mix of mossy green, cream, and a rich blue remind me of where a forest meets the ocean, perhaps on a cliff side. Miss on stone, deep blue waves, a hint of purple in the sky. Just a beautiful mix! I'm knitwild on Ravelry :)
I shared on Facebook! Thanks so much!!
