Massive Yarn Update

I’m realise I’m a day late with this post, but I’ve been busy, and photographing yarn always takes longer than I remember. On the plus side this means massive yarn update coming soon!

Included will be Falkland Merino Laceweight, Falkland 4ply, BFL/Masham 4ply, BFL/Masham DK and a small amount of Merino/Masham marble DK. There will be semi-solids and variegated on the various bases. Here… Read More »Massive Yarn Update

Happy New Year!

This time last year I was making grand plans for Bluebell Yarns. While there were various circumstances that caused a lot of these plans not to come to fruition I can still say that it has been a good year for the company. This year’s advent calendars sold a record amount – 48! I’d initially only made 42 so that’s an amazing result. I’ve loved seeing pictures and videos of people opening their little silver packages. Everyone seems to have… Read More »Happy New Year!

Coming soon

This is just a quick update to say that on the 1st September I will be having a massive sale on all current yarns in my shop. This is to make space for some new yarns coming in October. I will also be opening a competition, which I’ll post more about on the day. In the middle of September, I will be opening orders for my popular yarn advent calendar. It will be a little different this year, in that there… Read More »Coming soon

January Competition Winner

Using the wonderful random.org I’ve drawn the January competition winner to design your own colourway. The winner is… Evie, who contacted me via email: “Picture this countryside scene. Big round bales of golden yellow straw in a field, green hedgerows line the field and a cloudy grey sky above it….. Maybe with a wee bit of blue peeking through here and there. I’ve yet to see a yarn reflecting this scene, and I think it would be beautiful.” Congratulations Evie!… Read More »January Competition Winner

Valentines box, and an Anti-Valentines box

A New Box From the Monday 16th January you’ll be able to order both the Valentines and the Anti-Valentines boxes.

They will be available to pre-order in my shop, and are limited in number. They will be available until Thursday 9th February unless I sell out first.

Lots of new yarn, and a new competition

New Yarn Today I’ve posted lots of new yarn to the shop. Take a look here. Most of the yarns are a blend of BFL and Masham, with a few skeins of Falkland Merino. They are of course lovingly hand dyed, and have not been superwash treated. A Monthly Competition Lots of people have ideas on how they would like a yarn to look. As dyeing is a rather involved process, many of these people never get to turn their ideas… Read More »Lots of new yarn, and a new competition

2017

Looking Back, Looking Forward This year has been very successful for Bluebell Yarns. The advent calendar especially proved highly popular and sold out weeks before the pre-order cut off date.

They will all be British and non-superwash. As a first for Bluebell Yarns,… Read More »2017
