Visit product page →The very first Exclusive Colourway dyed for Lusciously Loopy is Autumn in The Lakes. This has been made by the super talented Petra at Made By Black Elephant Check out her wonderful etsy Shop and follow her on Instagram or Facebook. I have some of her yarns available here and the brand new Winter in the Lakes colour is here to pre order.
When I decided to commission an exclusive hand dyed colourway I wanted the first to be something nature based. Living in the Lake District was inspiration for the four seasons in the Lake district and Petra was the first person that came to mind to dye it for me.
I am in love with what she has designed. It captures perfectly the colours and feel of Autumn in the lakes. ***The image used is not taken by me and I have not yet been bale to find the photographer to credit*** It is so hard to capture all the gorgeous shades Petra has incorporated so I made the video to help you see just how bloomin' lovely it is :)
It is available in:
Sock - 100gm 425m 75/25 merino/nylon
DK - 115gm 230m 100% Merino
Aran - 100gm 166m 100% Merino
.
Black Elephant yarns are all hand-dyed in Sheffield using wool which is ethically sourced, supporting communities which produce it and no animals are hurt (mulesing free)
Each skein will come in an organza bag. Each order will receive one handmade glass stitch marker by Libbycraft and a Pukka "love" T'bag.
Please note that the photos are for illustration purposes only and show particular colourway as accurately as is possible with hand dyed yarn. The skein you receive might differ to this photo slightly. Colours do not pool or stripe and create a nice speckled / heathered effect. There are no dye lots and each skein is unique.
***No two skeins are exactly the same, so it is recommended to alternate skeins to achieve a blended effect.***
Machine washable in cold water but as with all wools it will last longer if washed in hands. Flat dry.

Visit product page →The second Exclusive Colourway dyed for Lusciously Loopy is Winter in The Lakes. This has once again been made by the super talented Petra at Made By Black Elephant Check out her wonderful etsy Shop and follow her on Instagram or Facebook. I have some of her yarns available here and the first colourway in the Lakes collection Autumn in the Lakes is here
When I decided to commission an exclusive hand dyed colourway I wanted the first collection to be nature based. Living in the Lake District was inspiration for the four seasons in the Lake district and Petra was the first person that came to mind to dye it for me.
Like everywhere, the Lake District is magical when it has a covering of snow everywhere and that might be seen as being a typical Winter in the Lakes. I was tempted to go with that look. However, the reality and the one that speaks to me most is that for the vast majority of the winter we have snow capped hills in the distance while the rest of the scenery is most often barren, cold, and frosty with a stillness I find hard to explain eloquently.Like charcoal outlines sketched on a canvas, bare trees that stand at the edges of a lake are reflected in the water. Pale, icy blue and grey skies are highlighted by rich, deep sunsets. There is a stunning beauty in the bleakness of this amazing landscape and Petra has captured that. I am in love with what she has designed. It captures perfectly the colours and feel of how Winter in the lakes feels to me. ***The image I sent her as inspiration is not taken by me. It was found on google and I have been unable to find who to give photo credit too yet***

Ombre whirls and mugs!
New Whirls and Mugs!
New to the store.
Exciting new products for the coming season!
I am thrilled to add more gorgeous shades of Scheepjes Mohair Rhythm to my range. Perfect to use alone but also great to use as a double strand to add some fluff and luxury to a project.
Hayfield Bonus Breeze dk weight yarn is new in and looks amazing in both crochet and knitting projects. Three new shades Of Hayfield Spirit have also been added.
I have added Bloom to the growing range of Scheepjes Yarn I stock. A pure cotton yarn with a soft sheen. Scheepjes Bloom is a worsted/chunky weight yarn and has been carefully engineered to over come many issues with thicker cotton threads. It’s hollow core means it is very light weight, it dries much faster than other cotton yarns and reduces splitting significantly.
Stylecraft Dreamcatcher is a welcome addition to the yarn cakes I offer. The pattern support shows just how beautifully this yarn looks whe made up.
I hope there is something there you feel inspired to use. Happy shopping!
