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!

I am planning to sell my lovely Lendrum spinning wheel.
Do you know of anyone in the UK who might like it?
