Welcome to the new season!
Over the last couple of weeks, we've shared some of the yarns and patterns we're introducing as part of our new Autumn-Winter 2017 range. We kept a few surprises up our sleeves and we're really excited to be able to reveal them to you now. 

Meet baa ram ewe Big Balls, pictured above. They're inspired by the baa ram ewe colours that you know and love, and are made from 100% British wool, scoured and combed in Yorkshire. They're ideal for using in spinning, arm knitting, felting - or just for display! We've loved getting our hands on these gorgeous 1kg Big Balls of beautifully soft wool, and they're already turning heads in the shop. If you want to bag your Big Balls before they run out, click here. 

To complement the baa ram ewe Big Balls, we're also introducingBritish Wool Tops. Again, they're in the shades you've already come to know and love through our yarns, and made from 100% British wool, scoured and combed in Yorkshire. They're ideal for spinning and felting, and a great way to introduce yourself to arm knitting. Each braid is 100g and has a wonderful, rich texture. Click here to browse.

We're also delighted to announce that we'll be stocking Socks Yeah! DK, created by the brilliant Coop Knits (aka Rachel Coopey). Rachel is a real favourite among our customers and her Socks Yeah! yarn is 16 glorious shades is a great choice for much more than just socks. Socks Yeah! DK comes in 10 shades chosen to coordinate with each other. Each skein is 50g (112m or 122yds) and it works beautifully for stripes, colourwork and contrast heels and toes on socks - plus hats, shawls, mittens and much more. It's also great for crochet projects. Click here to be among the first to get your hands on it.

Last week, we brought you news of the expanding range of yarns in stock from West Yorkshire Spinners. we're delightd to say you can now order yours on our website. Pictured above left is Gems, next toExquisite. Below, from left to right, are Bluefaced Leicester Aran, Bo Peep, Aire Valley DK andIllustrious. Finally, we are also introducing Aire Valley Aran Fusions, a rich, colour-changing yarn n five colourways each giving a painterly effect as the shades flow into each other.
Each of the new yarns has its own unique characteristics, and the shades bring so much personality into your knitting, too. They're all made from British wool and spun just down the road from us here in Yorkshire. We know they're going to be just as big a hit as the other WYS yarns.
