Open for business...

I've just finished uploading a few items to the shop. Sheep stitch markers will be coming soon, I promise!

I hope to have some shawl pins available in the next couple of weeks, starting with some sheepy ones and some oak leaf ones. They are made from 1.5mm sterling silver wire. I shape them all by hand (so no 2 will be exactly the same as I only use a drawn guide rather than a physical template). They are then soldered, hammered and polished. They will come in a gift box with a small polishing cloth to help you keep your shawl pin sparkly! They are very light (around 6.5g including the pin) - great for laceweight/4ply shawls. They will bend if you are rough with them but I have been using mine for a while now and they have stood up well. I started making them as I wanted something light for my laceweight shawls.

Here are 2 I made earlier shown 'in action'!

 

Parrots and other creatures...

I've been busy making some stock for the shop. These parrots are a new addition - cute eh?

Also some old favourites - sheep, ladybirds and chickens:

These will be available in the shop soon - I need to make some more stock first ;-)

We're coming back soon!

My Etsy shop has been hibernating for quite some time - much longer than I had intended but I had stuff to deal with and didn't want to re-open until I was ready and had sorted out a lot of said 'stuff'!

Anyway - I have at last started producing yarnimals again. I'm currently working on building up some stock before I have a re-launch, hopefully in a few weeks time. I've missed making them! Pop back here to check up on my progress or follow yarnimals on Twitter.
