At this time of year there is much to make your heart sing. I love the bright but chilly weather of February, there are slowly more hours of daylight each day and signs of spring slowly emerging with snowdrops and crocuses popping up! I also love cosying up in the evenings with my crochet or knitting.
If you haven’t tried knitting or crocheting with my HeartSpun yarn, now is a great time to, as it is currently on sale on my website!
HeartSpun was created out of a love of both British Wool and the environment and is made from 70% British Bluefaced Leicester wool and 30% Tencel (a fibre made from wood pulp). I have lots of lovely colours available in both 4ply and DK including Scarlet, Pink, Raspberry and Magenta!
Scarlet HeartSpun 4ply and DK is now back in stock, just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Did you know that Magenta is the Pantone Colour of the year? I have this gorgeous colour available in both my HeartSpun 4ply and DK yarn and also the beautiful Fair Cotton, which is 100% organic and fairtrade.

New Products I love!
I have just taken delivery of some lovely new self-striping organic cotton, called Fair Cotton Granny! Each 150g ball consists of 12 exact colour cycles to make 12 granny squares with 3 different effects: gradient colour, multi-colour and mono-colour. In between each granny square cycle there is a section of cream yarn. Free patterns are available for this yarn on Katia.com. I couldn’t resist trying it out and have been crocheting squares for a new design of top, which I hope to be publishing soon!
Wishing you lots of love and best wishes this February!
Happy Crocheting and Knitting!
