CH 248 : Settling into the year with some leisurely knitting plans

It’s a rainy day in London, but I’ve gotten cosy with my cup of tea and a brand new candle burning softly. There has been a lot of reflecting, planning, organizing, and getting sorted recently. It’s all in the service of giving myself some extra space. A bit of breathing room where creativity and enjoyment can settle in. Today I share a bit more of that process, as well as my plans for some leisurely, indulgent knitting projects just for me.

Alongside an eclectic yarn range, which includes Hazel Knits, Icelandic Lopi & 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.

 

AYS is a wool boutique specialising in hand dyed yarns and luxury fibres from around the world. You’ll always find a well curated collection of yarns and colors on the shelves and a friendly knowledgeable staff on hand. Some of our favourite brands include Hedgehog Fibres, SweetGeorgia Yarn, Julie Asselin, Shibui Knits and The Fibre Co. You can find A Yarn Story on Walcot Street in Bath or online at www.ayarnstory.co.uk
