Luxury hand dyed yarns from England

My new quilt top has got off to a flying start!

I bought this Tula Pink x Free Spirit Marquis kit maybe 7/8 years ago 🤪 and it’s like I just bought it! Shopping your stash (or your obsessive craft purchases?) from years ago is so fun.

I love these fabrics & I’m really quite sad they’re out of print. I’m planning of repurposing an old white quilt cover for the backing on this and Pippa’s quilt as I can’t afford any new fabrics.

I’m in need of some wadding/batting too, so if anyone is destash img any please let me know 🥰

Merino Linen Sets will be in the shop later today!

These are a merino linen blend on sock weight singles and absolutely heavenly! Soft with a beautiful soft sheen and heathered affect from the linen content.

Super special and perfect for a next-to-skin garment or shawl

Hey folks!

Well, today I moved out of my studio and I’m really going to miss it. With things still challenging, it makes more sense to be able to fully work from home - so while I’m sad, it’s also a good move, so let’s see it from the positive angle!!

As everything is now once again at home, I’ll be setting up a new dyeing space here so that I can work whenever time allows.

What this really means is - Norah George Yarns will be back and I’m so excited about it.

I can’t give you a date as yet, but I’m hoping that 2023 will bring lots of good things, including yarn 🧶

Thank you all for sticking around and sending so many amazing messages of support of the last few months. It’s meant a lot and I hope to be back dyeing again soon.

As a thank you, I’m going to be clearing out stock, so here’s a 20% off voucher for EVERYTHING in the shop (most of which is already discounted) BUT please allow up to 14 days for shipping as everything is currently stashed in ikea bags all over the house!

Code: Thanks22

Lots of love to you all ###

Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet Gibson!

Also, Advents have all shipped this morning 😀

13/10/2022

I’m sorting out all Advents over the next 2 weeks and may have some spares (24x10g, 24x20g and 100g skeins all sock weight).

I have enough yarn to dye a few extra, so would anyone be interested? If so let me know and I can sort it out for you.

The theme is soft and gentle this year ✨

I thought this week would be a good time to come back on here and have a little chat with you all about why I’ve been very much MIA this year.

Sadly someone very close to me has been severely suffering with their mental health.

I have had to step away from working in order to help care for this person and support others - while it was hard to stop working, the decision to do so wasn’t. When people need you, they need you. Everything else has to take a back seat.

Despite it being almost EIGHT MONTHS since we reached out for official help, we’re still waiting. It’s hard, it’s painful and it’s relentless. It feels so personal it hurts.

Spending these last few months supporting this person and others - and still doing so - has been hard on my mental health too. It’s a serious knock on effect so everyone around you when you’re struggling. It’s unintentional but seemingly unavoidable.

You try SO damn hard to be everything - parent, wife, friend, daughter, family member - that you forget to be there for yourself.

In all honesty, not only is this person lost, I have been too. I don’t really know up from down right now. I can’t knit. I can’t crochet. All my usual “lifelines” I turn to aren’t there anymore. It’s so bloody hard.

The hardest thing of all - for me and the person I’m trying to hard to support - is asking for help and relying on people to give you that help. So now I’m asking you on behalf of people in your life who might be struggling - reach out and offer your ear; listen and try to just do that. Often talking about your problems is the biggest source of relief. Just let them know it’s ok to not be ok, that it’s ok to talk about it.

I’ve always tried to be there for people but this year I just haven’t been able to. I’m hoping that changes soon, because honestly I really miss being there for those who need me.

Now I’ve filled you in (in a distanced way so I can protect peoples privacy) I wanted to let you know that I’m going to try to start dyeing again soon. I hope to by NGY again soon 💕
