Feeling Groovy

I just wanted to let you all know about Groovycart, if you sell your things online.
As you know we offer our Blog yarn (The extra) at a special price through Groovycart. This just covers our materials. This is because you can open a shop for free and pay no listing fees. So we can actually reduce it for you. There is no expire date for listings either it, a fab little hosting site.

Groovycart lets you have 30 items (90 if you list clever) and you can have a maximum price of £50. No commision for selling, only on your paypal fees.

Of course you can upgrade for a charge to a silver or gold account which you pay for and then you have a greater flexibilty over pricing and quanities, But as a crafter I have never made enough things.

Sales, yes I have had a few on there. Groovycart was the first place I ever sold. Its not MISI or ESTY or FOKSY. But its somewhere extra to display things.


Our blog specials are now listed in our Groovycart shop here
we list them here for a limited period only. At the blog price.

If you want to look into Groovycart some more look here


Bit of a boring post SORRY.

Winners of Giveaway will be announced on SATURDAY.
Good luck

June Yarn Giveaway: Its up to you.

A big thank you to everyone who has taken part in the last 2 giveaways. Last month was hard, due to my internet and Stellas GAS LEAK. We are back on track and whilst the weather is fine and we can wash fibre we thought we would crack on.

Ok, so this month we thought we would do a single colour....Its up to me and Stella to come up with something beautiful from the suggestions you give us.

Both of us will pick a colour from the hat, so it may be the same colour it may be different.

Now Me and Stella have very different taste, so I am sure that you will pick our fav colours but it is if we pick it out the HAT!!!! LOL SO we may be working with something that we wouldn't normally use.

Please also tell us in your comments if you want plain wool a mix, maybe a bit of llama, silk or mohair.

We are really hoping to get some pics up at the weekend of our fleece washing and details of our COLOUR.

AS before each comment will gain an enter, the more comments you make the more entries.

Ok JUNE GIVEAWAY GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought I would wet your tastebuds with a little peek at some fleeces. I am not saying these will be in MY YARN but they could be.

Any you fancy? Its only a sample of the Breeds that may be used. All washed and ready for carding.

REMEMBER EVERY COMMENT IS ANOTHER ENTRY TO WIN



Shetland Moorit, shetland is super soft the fleece lends itself to fine spinning, which is why you get alot of sheltland shawls. This is the softest fleece of the british breeds. I love shetland for baby items.




Washed Romney Fleece, a beautiful soft fleece ideal for the beginner in washing and carding wool. It is lovely and soft. When felted it gives a textured finish.




Washed Black welsh fleece. A natural black colour, with reddish tips. from this tiny breed of sheep. An ancient breed of sheep which was around in wales in the middle ages.




Carded llama from Tollykit on misi. Super soft and flyaway, I will definately blend this to make a supersoft yarm

MAY GIVAEAWAY, its up to you!!!!!

Well, I think its time for a new giveaway. Do you agree?
As before, we will give you a brief, So last time it was the breed of sheep, you picked the colours. This time we are changing it a little bit. We are using NATURAL colours. So you can decide if you want plain chocolates a mix of browns and creams, cream on its own, ITS UP TO YOU. Also keeping in with the natural colours. Would you like a blend of something special? Maybe some soya, tencel, camel, llama or alpacha? You could go wild and have milk protein or recycled bottle tops. We will let you know the breed next week. Then see the difference again in what we produce.

What type of wool would you like? Something arty, thick and thin, even, chunky?


REMEBER WE WILL SHOW YOU THE PROCESS AND EVERY COMMENT GETS ENTERED INTO THE DRAW. THERE IS 2 CHANCES TO WIN AN 100G HANK OF ECO-FRIENDLY HANDSPUN YARN. IT REALLY IS UP TO YOU.
