🌟MORE exciting news! 🌟
Postage on yarn is now $10.00 overseas NOT $18.00! (In actual fact, sending yarn from Australia is $21.00 which is prohibitive so this is a huge bonus and I couldn't be happier!
Introducing The Circus from myYARN STORIES range. I will be releasing a new yarn every month!

Yarn Stories, April
At last, it's happened! The yarn is dried, the Circus tent is up and ready for business! It’s been so much
fun designing the yarn and just as exciting creating the accompanying art
to advertise it! Look out on Instagram for some fun videos and photos!
The Story
To me, everything has a story, even if it is tracing the
history of the yarn or learning about the methods of dyeing from ancient times. I enjoy creating work for exhibitions in clay, paper and print and making stories about them, so why
not do the same with yarn??
I fell in love with Lotus Yarns (http://www.lotusyarns.com/). The New Sock and the Aran Cashmere blends are my choice because they are
silky soft and knit and crochet up well. (*** Note that the Aran is 8ply (DK)
not 10ply in the lotus Yarn range)
Since socks are my
passion, THE
CIRCUS Series is fingering weight, hand dyed in Australia and ready to
send all over the world! Yes, postage is
ridiculous everywhere but there's a BONUS:
You will receive one of my stitchmarkers or
zipper pulls for your project bag FREE! (value $8.00) with every skein of yarn purchased (One per order) for the duration of 2017, and there might just be another little surprise in there
as well…J
The Circus Range has one side dyed with bands of colour while the other is speckled – oh how I have grown to love speckled yarn!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you find exciting ways to use my limited edition, hand dyed yarn, The
Circus. Please use the hashtags #yarnstories #thecircusseries and tag me @wildaboutyarn for any of your posts on Instagram or Facebook.
Socks were first on my list, what will be on yours – socks for you, socks for a family
member, a hand knitted toy, a shawl??
I
can’t wait to see!
