🙏I tried really hard to become a one-project knitter...

💃…and then I cast on something new.

⏳ After eight weeks away from writing my regular Weekly Stitches blog post, I’ve realised it’s time to stop fighting it and simply embrace who I am – a knitter who loves the process just as much as the finished piece.

🙌🏻 Sometimes my hands want simple garter stitch. Sometimes they want a pattern that makes me think. And sometimes a beautiful new yarn simply has to be cast on.

📝 In this week’s blog I’m sharing what I’ve been knitting, why I think social media has changed the way we concentrate, and why I’ve decided to stop feeling guilty about having more than one project on the needles.

🐏 If you've been following Purl &Jane for a while, you'll know I've been passionate about British wool and natural fibres since the very beginning.

💃🕺🏽 I've always believed that not all wool is the same.

🍸🍹 In fact, one of our Yarnaholics once compared different sheep breeds to different spirits. Gin doesn't taste like wh**ky. Wh**ky doesn't taste like tequila. And Bluefaced Leicester doesn't knit like Jacob!

🧶 That's exactly why I'm so excited to introduce Yorkshire Yarn – our very own collection of British wool yarns.

🐑 We're starting with Bluefaced Leicester, one of Britain's most loved breeds, known for its softness, gentle sheen and beautiful stitch definition.

📚This is just the beginning of the story, and I can't wait to share more with you over the coming months.
