Shetland Wool neck warmer giveaway December 2016

Wow....the year is almost over ! It is difficult to believe that i have not posted since June. Time just got away from me. The mill & knitting studio has been constantly working...even over the Summer months when it was hot, i was still selling knitwear & yarns. I'm not complaining as there is so much unemployment about i feel blessed ! 

Knitters & Knitwear buyers have been so good to my family & I.....keeping us all very busy. We are now sending our Shetland wool yarns & Knitwear World wide & it's a wonderful feeling to know that our customers are enjoying what we manufacture.....Thank you to all who purchased from us, we really appreciate your business♥


I'm not one for making New years resolutions so i wont bother, but i really hope in 2017 i can find the time to post more often(monthly would be good) & host these little giveaways starting now.


My biggest seller in Shetland knitwear are my large neck warmers. Over the Summer i improved the design somewhat & sold all but 1 in the run upto Christmas. you guessed it, I'm giving away a neck warmer. This one(will try to get a good picture, today it's too gloomy) is in the Musket Shade. All Natural & for domestic wool, it's very soft ! It's long enough to cover your head & neck. The button hole closure is smaller & more discreet with a deeper side opening for those who prefer to wear it puddled down around the neck. It sits lovely on the shoulders & is as near perfect as can be. Both ends are finished in double moss stitch.

To enter this giveaway all you need do is tell me in the comments section what is your favourite shade of Natural Shetland wool !

Click on the picture above to enlarge. One winner drawn at Random.

Runs from December 26th to December 31st 2016

Open to everyone world wide.

And if your a Christian like me.....Merry Christmas to you♥

    Hi! My favourite is the white. I love the beautiful Shetland shawls that women wore as wedding veils. They are like a delicate snowflakes held together with gossamer threads. Happy New Year!

Messy Bun hat pattern-Giveaway for January/february 2017

Here we are in the middle of January.....time is getting away from me again ! you must have seen these 'messy bun hats' doing the rounds on the internet.

I really like the look of the crochet hat above(not my image) i found it on Google !  The stitch & texture looks gorgeous. I don't do crochet so I will try to find a similar knit stitch pattern from my stitch bible & include the pattern here. The yarn-pure Shetland wool is all Natural Emsket & Black. $7.00 Canadian per 50 gram skein from:  www.absoluteshetland.websiteanimal.com I think 2 skeins will do it for each hat as the top of the hat has very little decrease shaping. I'm planning on knitting it with 2 yarns together so the hat is thick n warm. My customer chose these colours, i wo...
