Show Sponsors Alongside an eclectic yarn range, which includes Hazel Knits, Icelandic Lopi a CoopKnits, we stock a carefully chosen selection of needles and notions. We’ve also recently launched ‘hand dyed by meadowyarn’, our very own in-house, hand-dyed yarn range. Working in our tiny dye studio, nestled in the Suffolk countryside, we are able to indulge our love of colour, producing complex tonal, kettle-dyed shades across a range of weights and bases. With regular updates our collections evolve and grow, inspired by the landscape and people around us. Find all your favourite luxury yarns and discover plenty more at A Yarn Story, Bath’s premier yarn store based in Walcot Street, Bath, UK.

As the schools close here in Australia and we all strive to cope with our anxiety, I've been turning to projects that feel like comforting old friends. I also have the Ambient Socks to introduce for you, and details about some KALs I will be hosting to help keep our spirits up.

If you follow Meadow Yarn on Instagram, you will have seen that Anj has been dying up some absolutely stunning colorways, especially recently. I've just been very drawn to them. And she is still able to post yarn at the moment. So yeah, I'm sure she would appreciate any support and the colorways are just stunning. So very tempting. Hello and welcome. Well, what another week it's been. Obviously it's been a very intense time for everyone and despite me thinking I would sort of reset a little bit this month, March is not the new January after all, that's for sure. Schools have finally been closed here in Australia and I think most of the schools have been trying to put together online learning, distance learning facilities for the kids when they go back from holidays after Easter. We have one week before the holidays officially start and so our school is just spending the week having pupil free days preparing and testing some distance learning facilities that they've been putting in place. Then we'll have two weeks Easter holidays and see what happens after that.
