Valentine's Day knitting love


 As it is Valentine's Day here in Tasmania I thought I would share some of my wooly love. These are true love as they will keep you warm for years to come. These knits are all from my handspun wool and are also hand dyed by me.

I hope your Valentine's Day has been full of love in what ever type that is.

Art yarn

these three skeins of art yarn are part of my sale. They are perfect for adding excitement to your next project.
You can contact my through my instagram account at bishopstoneyarns. 
 

A cardigan for me.



While going through some of my handspun yarn I came across some of my early yarn that was spun from our sheep when they were only young . I then dyed the yarn using landscape dyes. I have always loved these colours and over the years I couldnt find a pattern to use. So I decided to just jump in and create something.


since we moved to a much smaller place we no longer have space for sheep so I am going to treasure this cardigan as a memory of the years of fun with our sheep.

End or year sale

I am having a sale on these yarns. All are handspun and dyed by me. You can contact me through my instagram account bishopstoneyarns.

some handspun art yarn to add excitement to your next project








 The end of year sale is now on.

As I go through my stock I have decided to have an end of year sale and make room for some new yarns to take shape. Since moving house I am no longer selling through the shop and my new studio does not have the space for all my yarns and other creations. These are also listed on my instagram and facebook sites. 

I am based in southern Tasmania and pick up from my place is avaliable or occasionally I can hand deliver to Hobart area. The best way to contact me is throught my instagram or facebook sites.

I will be listing more hand knitted items very soon so check back in.

Plying on my electric wheel

 

I have been having fun plying on my electric wheel.  A fantastic combination of purple and grey to compliment the pure grey.  I am loving the large bobbins so I can fit the entire singles into one large skein.

Brown spinning

 I have been working my way through a brown fleece. So nice to see the lovely variations in the colour as I spin my way through this fleece


So far I have six  skeins but there is still so much fleece to go.
