Well, the gentle spin has finished and the results are in… some surprising!
First out was Jarol British Aran.

Washable British Wool: Part 1
When knitting for friends and loved ones it is often difficult to please all the people all of the time. The one thing I get asked for when knitting for others, particularly for kids, is, “can you make it in something I can put in the washing machine?”
In the Loop 3.5
Last week I had a really enjoyable couple of days at the In the Loop 3.5 Conference here in Shetland. I didn’t manage the whole thing, and I am not going to abstract the whole thing (I believe there will be a special edition on Textiles next year, which will do that for you), but I really wanted to share with you one or two of the stand out speakers.

We draw winners old school at Casa KnitBritish!

Handmade in the UK
If it’s Tin Can Knits you know it’s going to be beautiful, stylish patterns, designed with a finger on the pulse of what knitters want to make AND wear! Add to that a collection designed entirely in British wool or by UK dyers and I feel like throwing a parade!
(and one lucky reader can win a copy!)
Woolfest swag
I think this event must hit all bases, whistles and bells for wool lovers and for me British wool was abundant.
I made my first purchase within ten minutes!
