Chunky handspun 2-ply: Desert Flower
This yarn has been hand spun by me from Lorna's Laces roving in the Desert Flower colourway. The yarn is thick-and-thin, probably varying from about double knit weight to chunky.
Each skein contains approximately 85m of yarn, and weighs around 60g.

100% Angora Laceweight yarn – Kingfisher
Grab a truly unique skein! I dyed this yarn when I was test-driving new base yarns for my standard ranges. I adore this stuff, but it is too similar to Bunnylace, my standard angora laceweight yarn.
This is a 50g/400m skein of a pure angora laceweight yarn. It is wonderfully, beautifully soft, and will make a wonderful shawlette to keep you cozy this autumn!
Pattern suggestions (Ravelry links):
- Annis shawlette;
- The shoulderette versions of Aeolian and Laminaria;
- Hand Springs fingerless gloves;
- Fernfrost scarf.

Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora
Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora is a super-soft 80% cotton/20% angora blend that is perfect for summer tops and accessories.
This is an aran weight yarn: each 50g ball contains 90m of yarn. The multistranded structure of this yarn means it shows up stitch textures beautifully, while still keeping a soft, luxurious hand.
Several balls in this lot have been used for swatching. They have not been cut, but are missing their ball-bands and have been re-wound by hand. I am selling these for only £1! But... first come, first served!

Pure silk DK yarn: Kingfisher
This is another test-skein, dyed yarn when I was test-driving new base yarns for my standard ranges. I found it to be a little bit under-twisted for my taste, so I won't be carrying it regularly. However! Someone can grab a wonderful one-off.
This is a 45g/102m skein of pure silk DK-weight yarn. It is dyed in the same 'Kingfisher' colourway as the angora laceweight, but the colour 'reads' as slightly less intense, and slightly more grey on the silk, due to the shine.
This yarn would make a wonderful skinny scarf - or how about this super simple, but very stylish, mini-shawl?

Striped seersucker fabric; pure cotton
This length of fabric is a leftover from a dressmaking project. I found it to be a wonderful fabric to work with, and would be hoarding it if I could justify an infinite stash... However, I've had one project's worth from the piece, so the rest is free to travel to a new home!
The ground colour of this fabric is a pale pink; the stripes are white, tan, deep pink and plum. The stripes run warp-wise, and the piece of fabric is 110cm wide, and 80cm long.

Chocolate-Lime Linen fabric
I love this fabric. It is a wonderful deep chocolate colour, with a bright, graphic lime green print. I bought it as a remnant in John Lewis, and it is a beautiful quality linen.
This piece is 138cm wide and 110cm long.
