I am taking a short break to attend to a family matter off-island and will therefore not be able to open the studio on Thursday the 23rd of July.
We will be open again as normal on the 30th of July.
In the meantime, you can find a range of Midwinter products at Loose Ends haberdashery and yarn shop in central Lerwick. Loose Ends Shop Ltd
My apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Advance warning that I will be away next week and all orders placed after 5pm BST Friday 17th July will be sent out on my return on Tuesday 28th July.
I will still be able to respond to emails and message but with a slower response time than usual.
My apologies for any inconvenience caused 🧡

An inspiring combination of linen colours waiting to be labelled on my work table: Ink, Burnt Orange and Ivory 💙🧡🤍

Did you spot the new linen colour in the post from last week? Here it is front and centre: 4.29 Soft Teal. A gorgeous bluey-green that’s sort of deep but gently faded at the same time.
Pair with 4.15 Aqua for subtle shading, 11.26 Oatmeal for classic neutral stripes, or 3.8 Amethyst for colour contrast…💙🩵💚
Available online now for perfect hot weather knitting!

Struggling to knit or crochet in the heat? Linen is definitely the answer! This awesome hot-weather fibre stays smooth and cool in your hands even in the hottest temperatures, and makes for wonderfully draping, breathable garments.
We have just had a big delivery in from the mill in Lithuania, so have loads of delicious colours in stock, whether you prefer luminous tropical colours or cool nautical shades. We’ll even try to pack a little cooling Shetland sea breeze with every order 🌬️

It’s linen winding time! Luckily I have a very dutiful supervisor by my side to make sure I do it all correctly. 🐾
New linen stock will be added to the website as soon as I get it wound and labelled…
