Yarn Inspiration

May is a month where the fields are filled with bright yellow Rape Seed Flowers and the meadows are speckled with all manner of wildflowers giving us pops of colour here and there. 

Not long ago, we were driving through Yorkshire on a sunny late spring day. The meadows, fields and hedgrows were simply heavenly. As the countryside slipped by I knew that as soon as I got home I wanted to capture the beauty of the countryside at this time of the year and knit it up so that I could enjoy it all summer long.

My yarn bases come from a local supplier that prides itself in sourcing its fibre from reliable suppliers with best practices with regard to animal husbandry and the environment, something that is very important to me.

I use acid dyes unless otherwise stated. Disclaimer: I wash all my yarn with wool wash which may aggravate skins that are sensitive to such products. Darker colours may run, bleed or transfer and although I take every precaution to ensure colour fastness I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by colour transfer or bleeding in a wash.

Please ensure to follow the recommended washing instructions below. Washing Instructions: Cool Hand Wash recommended. Wash separately Follow me on Instagram for regular yarn updates @underan_englishsky
