I mentioned a few posts back that we ran almost al I mentioned a few posts back that we ran almost all of our mill colours through the mill for a massive restock. Well, the restock is taking place on Tuesday 16th August @ 9pm GMT+1! We’ve only been able to release these colours at launch, so very happy to bring them back to you before the summer is out. We also have our spring summer hand dyed yarns in this restock too 🤗 . #knittersofinstagram #yarn #indiedyer #woollenmill #olannyarn #handdyedyarn #nevernotknitting #instaknitters #knitknitknit #onmyneedles #knittinginspiration #yarnstagram #indieyarn #knittersofig #yarnlove #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn

S E E P - our Soft Days / Soft Nights A/W collecti S E E P - our Soft Days / Soft Nights A/W collection is well under way, and here’s a few colours we’ve been playing with.. Still here, still playing with colour 💕 Busy getting wholesale orders for the summer dyed up, our advents prep well under way, focusing on the development of our A/W collection, secret projects and working on developing our new sister brand @yoke_studios … it’s a busy summer, although hard to believe we are well into August, not sure where the time went! How’s your summer been? . #knittersofinstagram #yarn #indiedyer #woollenmill #olannyarn #handdyedyarn #nevernotknitting #instaknitters #knitknitknit #onmyneedles #knittinginspiration #yarnstagram #indieyarn #knittersofig #yarnlove #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn
We are just finishing up a huge run of almost all We are just finishing up a huge run of almost all our mill colours, and as always, Temper still has our hearts. There’s 3 mill colourways you would have to pry from me and that’s Temper, Echo and Hush. In the next few weeks we are spinning up the advents (all hand dyed are done actually!) and spinning up new A/W colours for release in September. I’m hoping to do one round of S/S colours for those that missed out on them in the middle of August, it will be a mix of in stock (for mill) and dyed to order (hand dyed). It’s a bank holiday here, and the weather has been so poor, made it difficult to plan anything. So instead, we rested and had fun with the kids in the garden… . #knittersofinstagram #yarn #indiedyer #woollenmill #olannyarn #handdyedyarn #nevernotknitting #instaknitters #knitknitknit #onmyneedles #knittinginspiration #yarnstagram #indieyarn #knittersofig #yarnlove #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn
