In this week’s update – Pharos, Gallant, Odyssey and Meteor sparkle sock, and Dashing merino 4ply.
Postal prices go up on Monday 30th April, any orders placed after Friday morning will be charged the new rates. We have kept the rises as low as possible in line with what Royal Mail are actually charging. For UK customers there is now a flat rate up to 750g so this means orders up to 6 x 100g skeins will all go for the same rate – cheaper than before for the larger orders.
We have also discontinued several yarns – Paladin merino aran (remaining stock at 50% off), Rufford organic merino DK and Bailey BFL aran.
