About the Base:
I lovingly refer to this base as ‘Hoof’ it’s worsted spun and really is a wonderfully strong, durable and comfortable sock yarn. I’ve tested this base to the max; my socks have withstood repeated washing and heavy wear. I am not easy on my socks. In my experience it is really hard-wearing, doesn’t felt and is well, just great.
All of my yarns are dyed in very small batches, with acid dyes and are non-repeatable colourways. I have tried to capture the colour of the yarn as accurately as possible in the photos but please remember colour calibration varies from monitor to monitor.
If you’d like to know more about the story behind your chosen colour, please read the inspiration section.

Good to Know:
I have not had any noticeable colour bleeding when I’ve washed my yarns, however this can happen. If you are mixing light and dark shades in your project, please be aware of this.

Please note: Regrettably I am currently only shipping within the UK.

Punkie Night:

Celebrated on the last Thursday in October and closely related to Hallow’en, ‘Punkie Night’ is a Westcountry custom. Children march around with jack o’lanterns traditionally carved from swedes or mangel-wurzels and sing to ward off evil. Punkie is the Old English name for this type of lantern and you’d often find them on the gates of farms bringing light to the dark evenings and warding off evil spirits.

So! “Give me a candle, give me a light, if you don’t you’ll get a fright!”
