Welcome to a new concept in knitting: if you take the time and make the effort to knit a special item or garment, why not go one step further and dye the yarn as well, creating a completely unique, only-one-of-these-in-the-world items?
To start with, you will find knitting kits that contain everything you need for one complete project. Including yarn, needles, dye, instructions, a knitting pattern and a pair of vinyl gloves. For those of you that want to go a step further or prefer to follow your own groove, everything is also for sale separately. I am extremely lucky to be able to offer you Helen Deighan Dyes. Helen’s Dyes are brand new, only just launching this Autumn. Her range will increase and expand over time, not just encompassing yarn dyes but fabric dyes as well.
If dyeing yarn just seems too daunting, do have a look at the hand-dyed yarns I offer. And if you’re interested, I try to keep track of my ventures into the knitting world on my blog page. If you enjoy what you read there, just come back every now and then for an update or link for a feed!
Lastly, if you’d like to be kept abreast of new products, special offers, free patterns and the looming publication date of the book that Helen and I are writing, just drop me a line to linda.deruiter@tiscali.co.uk and I’ll send you a regular newsletter (without any obligation of course!).
Keep knitting!
Linda
