Yarn Inspiration:

Summer is not complete without a visit to the local village's fete. On a glorious summers day in June or July, villagers and visitors gather on the village green to browse the stalls filled with homemade gifts, bakes, preserves, and of course, homegrown produce and plants.

Children laugh and chase each other in a game of tag, villages mingle and enjoy a good catch-up with one another over a glass of Pimms and Lemonade and a bowl of strawberries and cream. In the background, the brass band plays and the smell of BBQ sausages carries on the breeze enticing all who catch a whiff.

All too soon the afternoon draws to an end and it's time to head home. Stallholders drop their prices, the strawberry stall sells the remaining punnets of strawberries for next to nothing which is perfect for those of us who enjoy making jam.

The villages begin to wonder off and go their seperate ways, waving happy goodbyes. It's time to get the children settled for bed and to snuggle down on the couch with loved ones as you remark on what a success the fete was this year.

Happy memories will carry you through the dark days of winter until once again the seasons change and whispers of the years summer's fete plans can be heard again.

My yarn bases come from a local supplier who prides itself in sourcing fiber from reliable suppliers with best practices with regard to animal husbandry and the environment, something that is very important to me.  I use acid dyes unless otherwise stated.

Disclaimer: I wash all my yarn with wool wash which may aggravate sensitive skin. Darker colors my run, bleed, or transfer, and although I take every precaution to ensure color fastness, I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by colour transfer or bleeding in the wash or otherwise. Please ensure to follow the recommended washing instructions below. 

Washing Instructions: Cool Hand Wash is recommended. Wash separately

*While I have tried to accurately represent the colours of the yarn, all skeins are unique and the colours may vary slightly according to your monitor.
