Spun from the fleece of the Peruvian Highland sheep (a cross between the Merino and Corriedale breeds) this DK weight yarn is bouncy and has proper 'bite'. It has a slightly more relaxed twist than the sport weight version and is a little less 'springy' as a result and while definitely more rustic than merino and other 'soft' fibres, this 27 micron yarn knits into a fabric that we think is plenty soft enough for most wool lovers to wear next to the skin. Not superwash treated, it will wash and wear beautifully for many years if treated with care and it is a dream to dye. We dye it in a selection of our ~core~ semi-solid, tonal shades so it's great for stranded colour work. We think this is the perfect sweater yarn but will also make gorgeous hats, mitts, shawls and wraps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis yarn qualifies for our 'sweater quantity' discount ~ Buy 6 full size, full price skeins of meadowyarn hand-dyed yarn and get 15% OFF ~ Discount applied automatically ~ \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMix-and-match across yarn bases ~ Does not apply to mini-skeins, limited edition collections,  or 'sale' yarn ~ May not be used in conjunction with any other discount code.

Wandering the coastline and the forests, they discover flora and fauna, discuss life, death, God, and everything in between, and meet island visitors under sunny skies, and in the midst of ferocious storms. Told as little vignettes, the quirky tales combine to paint a spell-binding picture of their relationship over the course of the summer.

Sometimes, the sand is scoured and washed away, and the beaches are bare after a big storm, other times they are strewn with treasure, and on a bright Sunday morning, we walked along a strand line strewn with brittle stars, star fish, and sea mice (I rescued all the ones that I could see were still alive, popping them back into the now-gentle waves, but it was a hopeless task!) after the storm takes all the shades of warm amber orange, the palest coral pink, sandy yellow and woody charcoal from a beautiful stranded star fish.

We're choosing a non-superwash yarn base every other month, and using one of our favourite non-fiction books to inspire a micro-collection. Three shades; one ~core~ semi-solid, one ~fluid~ variegated, and one ~flash~ shade that stand alone or work together in whatever combination you like. Order as many skeins of one, two, or all three shades as you need...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-superwash yarn can require a little more thought and attention to care but the rewards are plentiful! Fibres that haven't been superwash treated tend to have more memory, bite, and structural interest, and the lack of chemical\/processing intervention makes them better for the environment. Sometimes it feels like non-fiction books share a lot of those qualities! They might feel a little bit like they require a greater investment from us as readers but they reward us with stunning stories and insight that can live with us for years...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm particularly drawn to creative non-fiction; nature memoir, modern stories with a historical context, travelogues that offer geographical or political insight, and I'll be rummaging through my bookshelves (and making good use of my local library) to root out my past and present 'must-reads' as inspiration for this series.\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKerri Ní Dochartaigh's \u003cem\u003eCacophony of Bones \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eis the inspiration for this instalment of the non club.

I spotted the first blackthorn blossom yesterday – always a truly mood-lifting moment – but the snowdrops have been putting on a glorious show for a couple of weeks already! At the edge of the meadow, where the bank slopes down into rough scrub, covered with last year's bracken, there are little clumps of these delicate flowers that are the first harbinger of a new season.

Heavy with dew and the lushest green it will ever be, most of the common meadow wildflowers are just starting to appear but one of the commonest is already going to seed. Our first shade is inspired by the dandelion clocks that dot the meadow, fluffy under sunny skies but just as beautiful after a sudden shower...

The wet weather we've had sent the meadow into overdrive and the grass was too long to walk through by mid-May so it was no surprise to see the farmer trundling around, cutting, bobbing, and swiftly baling a bumper green crop for silage. So, the meadow is cropped and looking pretty bare of flora and fauna as I walk up and down with the dog and my camera. It's a bit early for the crickets, and the butterflies and bees are looking to the margins for their food sources – and so shall I! The footpaths, trails, and verges that lead to the marsh and the (slightly) more cultivated parts of our garden are full of wildflowers and self-seeded treasures, and the first shade this month was inspired by that familiar, poignant field staple, the poppy. It appears, briefly, in June, often on ground that has been disturbed, so the field margins and footpaths are the perfect place to find these gems. I've called this one \u003cstrong\u003ein the margins. \u003c\/strong\u003eA fluid combination of soft grassy greens, sage, olive, and palest mint with a vivid flash of warm poppy red...\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur second shade focuses in on a busy pollinator.

And while I can live without the grey skies, the rain does come with benefits and a good long walk around the meadow and the adjacent woodland with a keen eye revealed the exact treasure I'd been hoping for this month!

After eleven years in the little farmhouse we've called home, we are moving on. So, it felt right to take inspiration from the 'big picture' - the sky - one last time. Part of me was hoping for one of those spectacular take-your-breath-away sunsets that fills the sky with every hue of red, orange, and violet but early November was shrouded in grey for the most part. So, the setting sun I captured was a subtle, gentle affair; the sort that we often just take for granted but if we stop and look, it still takes our breath away.

There's always 'colour' to be found, though, even in what looks to be a black and white image at first glance. This look up through the bare canopy of one of the magnificent old oak trees that borders our new meadow reveals hints of icy blue, deep woody charcoal, anthracite, and warm taupe, and playing with 'monochrome' tones is one of my favourite things to do. \u003cstrong\u003eWinterlight\u003c\/strong\u003e contains multitudes within its 'greys' and I love it!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth shades are dyed on pightle | fingering\/4ply, our trusty superwash merino base that is perfect for scarves, shawls, and lightweight garments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe use professional acid dyes with good light and wash fastness and do our best to exhaust every dye bath and reuse water wherever possible to reduce any further environmental impact.

But the first photo I've chosen is of a fleeting perfect moment as night fell. The sun had already slipped well below the hedgerow but pin-pricks of fiery orange light glimmered through the dense evergreen trees, like fireflies. Above the hedge line, the light glowed dusty lavender, pale gold and lilac as the indigo sky rapidly darkened. As always, nature provides the perfect palette, to spark the creative imagination and create two shades of yarn. The first ~dusk light~ is a blend of periwinkle, lavender, and soft buttery gold, with the tiniest speckles of rich vibrant orange. Its semi-solid companion ~last light~ is the perfect inky indigo blue...\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth shades are dyed on cooms | fingering, our bouncy, 3-ply superwash merino base that is perfect for scarves, shawls, and lightweight garments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe use professional acid dyes with good light and wash fastness and do our best to exhaust every dye bath and reuse water wherever possible to reduce any further environmental impact.
