My yarn samples arrived in the post – at last!  They are perfect and work so well with the colour ideas I have from my beach outing.

Must get designing so I can place an order before the end of November.

I am keen to support local (i.e. UK) wool producers, spinners and dyers who have a sustainable and eco-concious outlook.

So far I have found many companies, but these are my favourites who I intend to contact for yarn samples:

SHILASDAIR - naturally dyed, ethically sourced yarns from Scotland  

GREENFIBRES - naturally dyed, organic yarn (although not sure if UK wool)

LLYNFI TEXTILE COMPANY -this has everything I could ever ask for! Organic, naturally dyed yarn from Wales.

GARTHENOR ORGANIC PURE WOOL - this is undyed organic yarn from a variety of breeds and used as the base wool for Llynfi Textile Company.
