TNG Toppers!!!

We had some of the gorgeous falling leaves yarn left over, so mum went to work and produced this!!! 

I think this is absolutely stunning, and mum's own pattern too!!!!  It is made with a rolled trim, so can be rolled alot for small heads and unrolled as they grow, plus various sizes! Here's an example of it as a set (sorry Katie, borrowed Lal's longies!)

There will be a selection of these on the shop soon! Look out for some sets during BBM/WAHM Collab month!

Reply to this thread and I shall draw a name from the hat tomorrow evening!!!! remember, it's just a bit of fun! :-) Hope you like the yarn!

Holden Landings....

Are now in the shop to pre order only..... this guaranatee's you one of these scrummy nappies, without stalking, and without being stung by custom charges!


Here are some examples of some of the scrummy fluff currently being made, and we are due in!

 

  

 

These are due in approx 3 weeks, maybe 4.

and it's dry!!!

Just brought in from the line..... all soft and squishy!!

Ready to be skeined up, this evening!

 

I am so loving these colours!

How to name the yarn......

You will need to scroll down to the older posts, for more details!!! But.....

the said yarn will be dry by this evening as it is so incredibly windy out today (crikey  better go check it's still on the line!!).... Once dried, skeined and photo's taken,  I will ask a random question at the end based on something I've said, or done or that you can see, and if you leave your reply to the final post, I'll draw a name from a hat! That lucky person gets to name the colourway before it goes up for sale! Ok, so this is just a bit of fun, we all need something in life!! ;-) ;-) ;-)

Next up..........

Once cool, it's ready to be rinsed...

Yummy! Very happy with the colours once rinsed.........gorgeous mixes

Now, once rinsed, it goes out on the line to dry!!! 

 

This may take a few days, as it keeps raining on and off, but, the sun is out at the minute, so, it could well be dry by tonight!!!!!

Ready to be zapped!!!

Wrapped in clingfilm awaiting it's fate!!!

It even looks scared.. aww all curled up like a baby!!!

Mmmm decisions decisions!!!

I just can't decide on colours!!  So.....

Yarn laid out on clingfilm, ready to be dyed

The first 3 colours are on....3 shades of yummy green!

then deep brown, yellow and orange are painted on.

and so it begins......

2 skeins of Blue faced leicester..... 1 plastic bowl

Now soaking in a water/vinegar mix

Lals falling leaves..... so far!!!

Name that Yarn!

I'm so excited about our new Folksy store - TNG Yarns.....

So.. to ease my excitement, I'm going to have fun making a blog of dyeing wool updates! I shall dye up 2 skeins of wool, and From the moment the wool goes into soak, to the moment I skein it up, I shall add photos and information about the process it takes.

At the end, I shall ask a random question, leave your answer, and the first drawn from a  hat, gets to name the colourway!!! ) Hows that for excitement lol ;-) I will draw the name on Saturday evening!

I will be making the first entry this evening, and it may take 2-3 days in all, depending on drying conditions!

Have fun!!!!

H's longies

Finished! Hope you like them Sophie. Lanolising now and will be off to you asap!

Funky Longies!

Are these the most funky and unusual pair of longies you've ever seen?????

They are going to look so fab on H!

RE my txt hun, we have had to place 2 blue stripes, into the bottom of the leg, as there was no way the 2 balls of main body colour would stretch..... so for future reference, you need at least 250g body colour and 50g trim, or 300g total colour!! I couldn't dye more as this colourway is so unique, I could never replicate it.

I'm afraid the pic does not do them justice here as I'v just taken it now... so will take another one tomorrow when they are finished....

PRE ORDERED Holdens Landings

The order has been placed and is now being worked on. I shall update accordingly, but feel free to check out Bonnies blog for updates.

I have various stock due in including

Parrot
dark lagoon
Light lagoon
Anemone
Egg Plant
Purple/turquoise
rainbow
pale lilacs/yellows

and some prints

horses
tossed turtles
fall in the forest
hedgie and friends
little boy blue

Longies for H

Wow, if I've ever seen choppy waves, this is them!!! An evening storm or such like. I think they look fab, and are knitting up with purple stripes almost! I'm hoping the shorter rows on the legs will brings smaller stripes, making them look gorgeous!

I really hope you like them Sophie.
