Fernhill is a farm a few miles away from The Lace Knittery and it is a special place to visit. They farm holistically and organically and have transformed the soil on the farm. The sheep breeds have been selected as most suitable for the environment and they are breed for the quality of their fleece. It is a magical place.
The yarn is spun into a two ply just over the border in Wales meaning total yarn mileage to The Lace Knittery is kept to a minimum.
This yarn forms part of The Lace Knittery Natural Selection where we naturally dye in house. The dyes are either foraged locally (often from the garden or outside The Lace Knittery HQ) or ethically sourced. At the end of the dyeing process only clear water is left.

The newest addition the Marie Wallin books and again uses her British Breeds yarn. The colour palette is soft and there is a wide range of projects including colour work, Fair Isle, crochet, lace and surface design. A hit at The Lace Knittery HQ.
The Lace Knittery HQ is in South Somerset and I am often crossing the Somerset levels, travelling towards Greylake I am often the only car on the road and I am joined by a barn owl ghosting along the road next to me. There is nothing for it but to slow down and enjoy the flight of this wonderful bird.

A book dedicated to a favourite of The Lace Knittery, this little book not only explores five designs for Haps (shawls). It includes colour work, lace knitting (yay!) and Shetland designs along with history of a remarkable incident and woman.
The island of Islay has inspired The Lace Knittery designs in both yarn and pattern and it continues it’s spell with Kate Davies Designs. This book is filled with a variety of designs from accessories to garments (the socks are on order from my husband to wear with his kilt!) along with essays on the Island culture and history. A beautiful book.
Jamieson and Smith Supreme 1 ply cobweb yarn is 100% Shetland yarn produced on Shetland.

It is is the natural fleece colours.

One of Rowans most popular yarns Kidsilk Haze blends the soft halo of kid mohair with the vibrant shine of silk. It comes in a stunning range of 80 colours.

This yarn can also be paired with another to make it thicker while giving it a subtle halo.

A simply stunning yarn from Krea Deluxe but I may be biased because I love lace yarns, natural fibres and soft, restful colours. This yarn ticks all those boxes and can be used on it’s own or with another. It works well with the Krea wool as well as with silk or other natural yarns but does look and feel stunning on it’s own. I am in love and want to snaffle it all.
Each ball is 20g/240m. 45% silk, 33% mohair, 22% baby alpaca.
Handwash and do not tumble dry.
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.
