I keep meaning to join in with @_woolwork's #WoolStashStories so now finally here we go! Today's prompt is Favourite to Squish and it has to be this undyed Zwartbles from @jarbontextiles. It's soft but not fluffy, has great structure and it's just so gorgeous! I really should decide what to knit with it soon.

Day 11 of #MarchMeetTheMaker is Range. I dye a wide range of yarns from laceweight to chunky, from gentle semi-solids to wild variegated. I also make stitch markers and promote local undyed yarn too! There's going to be a trial increase to my range soon that you may have seen a hint about on Twitter. It's quite exciting!

Today's #MarchMeetTheMaker prompt is Rough / Mock Up. I don't really plan much before I dye new colourways. I generally just play around with a skein or two and see what happens! This is one of those skeins. I only made two of them using a new technique, but I'll definitely be dyeing more as I love it! #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #britishyarn #britishwool #indiedyersofinstagram #yarnporn #handdyedyarn #handdyedwool

Day 8 of #MarchMeetTheMaker is Love To Make. Now, I know this probably means my favourite thing to make, or at least something I really enjoy making, but I'm going to leave this quite simply. I love to make. I give anything a go. I knit, crochet, sew, dye, make pompom sheep, do random DIY things, make music. And I love it all. I love to create.


Day 6 of #MarchMeetTheMaker is Reducing Waste

Day 6 of #MarchMeetTheMaker is Reducing Waste At Bluebell Yarns I do a lot to reduce waste. I use paper envelopes and tape where I can, my yarn labels and business cards are printed on recycled paper. I reuse water wherever I can and avoid single use plastics during dyeing. In the future I want to add the option when checking out on my website to choose whether the yarn is wrapped in tissue paper, and for UK orders whether it's necessary to include the packing slip. I'm not sure what to do about label and sticker backing. I don't use them a great deal but when I do I wish there was a way to recycle the backing. I'm sure there's more I can do, and I'm always searching for new options. If you have any ideas on how I can reduce waste further, please comment! #reducingwaste #recycling #packaging #ecofriendly

Day 5 of #MarchMeetTheMaker is Close Up Sometimes if I'm really liking the way a yarn knits up I spend more time looking at it than actually knitting! This is a particular favourite at the moment.

Day 4 of #MarchMeetTheMaker is Branding My branding started off with a beautiful photo of bluebells which was taken by my dad. Last year I commissioned my sister in law @artofabbilaura to create a proper logo for me, and I've done the rest of my branding around that.

#MarchMeetTheMaker Day 3: Time I feel like there's never enough time to do everything I want to do! I'm getting better at prioritising and working on the important things but this feeling still creeps up on me occasionally. Talking of time, my mum crocheted these beautiful flowers for me. It takes me about half an hour to make one...it takes her less than 10 minutes! They're all from yarn I've dyed, and I'll be using them to decorate my show stalls this year.

I was pretty awful at #fiberuary so I'm going to try again with #MarchMeetTheMaker! Today's prompt is 'Story'. I've always been interested in crafts, and never really known what I wanted to do as a career. I've worked in computing, teaching music, went to get a music degree, and now work part time in a restaurant and spend the rest of my time on Bluebell Yarns! I've been doing it for a while now, and the business is evolving and growing in ways which I'm really happy with. Follow along for the rest of the month (hopefully) to learn more about me and my business!
