SHOP INFORMATION.
Thank you so much for your continued support! After an amazingly busy few months my health has taken a bit of a dive. After a short holiday I have decided I must continue to take Tuesdays and Thursday off for at least the next six weeks to try and get back on an even keel.
The shop is open as normal and your orders will go out on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Your orders during this time will be greatly appreciated :)
As a thank you to those of you that don't mind a little wait for me to dispatch your order I have a discount code for you.
Please use code time timeout at checkout to get 10% off everything in the shop.
The Royal Mail are still experiencing some delays though (significant delays in some areas) so please do allow extra time for your delivery once you receive the dispatch notification from me. I have no control once the mail bags are dropped off. There is a royal mail tracking number on your dispatch notification from me. Your parcel is scanned when delivery is made. If you follow the link it will give a date it was delivered and if it says an update will be made when delivery is attempted you will know that your order is still in the system and out for delivery. It will say if the Parcel has been left at the sorting office. The posties are doing a great job in difficult circumstances. I would appreciate if you can use the tracking for any questions about your order. But please do contact me if you have any problems. As you know I am a one woman band so please bear with as I attempt to answer emails and messages. Thank you for your continued support. Lynn xxx

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.
Winter in the Lakes colour is here
Spring in the Lakes colour is here
Summer in the lakes color is here
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 able 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 order will receive one handmade glass stitch marker by Libbycraft.
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.

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 them for me.
For the first two seasons I found images that really captured the look and feel of the lakes for me. Spring was a bit more difficult to find one particular image. One of the places that immediately came to mind was Rannerdale which has many happy memories of years gone by. Spending sunny lazy Spring days/evenings exploring with Milly, surrounded by Bluebells with the most gorgeous view of the hills and shimmering blue of the lake. There is also one particular memory of a walk there when Alan took us on a 'short cut' that ended with us knee deep in bog. Luckily Milly found it all an adventure!
As Cockermouth was the home of Wordsworth and is therefore synonymous with daffodils I wanted to convey the jaunty, sunny, positive beauty that they bring to this area in spring. The images I found of both were lovely but there wasn't one alone that conveyed how this area feels to me in spring. Petras interpretation of the images I sent her is stunning and she has once again produced a winner that feels like Spring in the Lakes.

vWinter in the Lake district. Exclusive Colourway for Loopy by Petra at Black Elephant.

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***

When I decided to commission an exclusive hand dyed colourway I wanted the first range 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.The four colourways have been developed over the last year and is now complete with the final colourway of Summer in the Lakes. They are four stunning colourways that look amazing worked up individually but Petra designed them so that they all work beautifully together as well.
.
For the latest design of Summer in the Lakes Petra took inspiration from Scafell pike in August with heather around.
.
Autumn can be purchased here was inspired by an image of the glorious multi tones of a golden Autumnal hillside reflected in the still waters of a lake with dark bare trees lining the side.
