Different Class Pool Party 4ply

I Knit or Dye Different Class Pool Party is a 4ply weight yarn that is perfect for all kinds of different garments. It is 100% British Bluefaced Leicester - born, reared, sheared, spun and dyed in the UK.

Several colours are available online now, www.iknitshop.org.uk

The finished garments are soft and feel gorgeous against the skin and as you can see below, I've made lots of Hitchhikers. Hitchhiker by Martina Behm is available to buy in revelry.com.

It's called Pool Party because it poooooools!!!! Pool Party is so entertaining to due to the way the colours continually change and and interact with each other.

Fyberspates Vivacious Pattern collection launch at IKL

We are super excited to welcome Jeni from Fyberspates to shop on Saturday 29 November.

Jeni will be with us to launch the new Vivacious pattern collection. Jen will present a trunk show of all the new garments for you to squish and squeeze and you can talk to Jeni about the patterns and yarn and it will be lovely.

Hard copy books will be available and a code for you to download your own electronic version will accompany each book sale!

Everyone is welcome! We'll have nibbles and cake and tea and cider and, of course, loads of time to knit and crochet.

Vivacious is one of my favourite yarns and one of IKL's best selling. That's because it's gorgeous! Superwash merino with a high twist in 4ply and DK, the yarn is soft and squishy and the colours are amazing! You can see some of the colours below.

So come and see us on Saturday 29 November and buy the book and craft with us.
