Our price: £18.00

This pack is all about experimenting with quality fibres and joyful colours. It’s an invitation to play with contemporary linen fabrics in soft shades and an open weave textured cotton too, using six naturally dyed wool threads, fine silk and no less than twenty four shades of stranded embroidery cottons. 

The fabrics are small enough not to be intimidating, big enough to make useful things with - needlecases, jewellery rolls, stitched envelopes for small precious gifts, pincushions, a storage roll for crochet hooks, pencilcases, cosmetics bags and so on.

Or you can simply enjoy the process of making marks with simple stitches, regular patterns or random, flowers or geometrics, names or nonsense then frame your artwork and display it. Whatever you do (or don’t) have fun!

This pack contains:

pieces soft blue linen, soft green linen and a honeycomb weave cotton, all at least 31cm x 34cm

two small squares of eco-printed cottons

6 x 4 metres of natural dyed fine wools

25 yards of fine silk thread

1 metre of each of 24 different shades of stranded embroidery cottons

2 different sized needles

a Simple Stitches Guide

Got my big girl boots on and I’m off to Copenhagen. Just seeking a quiet spot to hang out in until it is time to board the plane.

I donated my dyes and dye pots to @atbirkhillhousefibre this morning.
They will be well used and appreciated by this organisation that does so much good in the Scottish Borders. 

At Birkhill CIC is an animal assisted therapy and crafting centre, offering mental health support in several hands-on ways. Whether it’s caring for the alpacas and 🐑Castlemilk Moorit flock, tending the dye garden, sorting fibre or crafting items for the on-site shop, there are many volunteering possibilities here as well as classes and workshops open to everyone. 

I’ve run a few classes here in the past and felt thoroughly inspired by my brief visit today. Perhaps next year when I have a better balanced work life I can attend some workshops myself🤗

Resident 🦚was not prepared to display today when there was breakfast on offer…

I cast on a basic raglan sweater with lots of subtle colour changes to keep me interested. This will just be a whenever project - a few rows now and again and no hurry. I am using the Latvian yarn I bought from @balticknitsscotland held with an anonymous bargain black 4ply bought from @kingcraig_fabrics in Dornoch.

🪬I love making and packaging and finding quirky fabrics to incorporate in my kits. I’ve never lost my childhood delight in playing with scraps of paper and pencils, yarn and fabric.
BUT
I have a more recent love too, planning and leading textile tours in the UK and beyond. Whole new vistas have opened up for me and I don’t want to miss a thing!
SO
The Tart shop will close late summer. In the meantime I have new makes and interesting bundles to add to the shelves. Newsletter subscribers always know about these first and often snap up my limited edition goods before I have time to tell anyone else. 
PLEASE
Sign up so you don’t miss out! There are bargains to be had from now until late summer.
THEN 
I hope to have some time to be creative in other ways for quite a while.
❤️🧶🤗
I needed a very simple project yesterday. Picked some red mix random 4ply leftovers, held them double and cast on the simplest of hats. Just love how it’s turning out!
