Listings for Thursday 13th June

This is Falling For You sock yarn, with eight stripes reflecting the rich palette of autumn and harvest.




And here is the stripe sequence:























You'll achieve approximately seven rows of each colour with socks knitted from this colourway. All the technical details are on the listing at www.trailingclouds.com!


Also listing this evening, some Mind The Gap on my high twist 80% BFL, 20% nylon base; perfect for those who like a slightly thicker sock yarn.



There will also be a few skeins each of Lolalegs, Funny Peculiar, and 4 ply Mind The Gap (please note that that the few skeins listed are not from the same dye lot. If you wish to purchase multiple skeins of MtG on this base, there will be many more available next week).

Update Thursday 6th June

Lolalegs sock yarn! Six colours of stripey fun. There's a character in my little boy's favourite telly program who always wears lovely striped socks and tights: this colourway is inspired by her. Shamelessly girly, in pinks and purples, with some fruity mango and redcurrant in the mix too.







Also some Funny Peculiar. Seven colours in this one; I like it so much, I'm already halfway through knitting a pair for myself.






And finally, there'll be some Mind The Gap sock yarn.




My listings will be going live at www.trailingclouds.com at 9pm (BST) this evening.

Update Thursday 30th May

Lovely Primary/Secondary sock yarn is making its debut at 9pm tonight.























Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Delicious! It works up at a slightly thicker stripe than my previous sock yarns, with approximately 7-8 rows of each colour.

My six stripe yarns are priced at £16.25 for a 100g skein, of 425 metres (464 yards). This base is a blend of 75% super wash Blue Faced Leicester wool, and 25% nylon. Only available at my Big Cartel store from 9pm this evening, at www.trailingclouds.com




Also on sale this evening will be some Mind The Gap, and some reduced price Mind The Gaps with a single knot in the skein. These knotted skeins will be listed with a 5% price reduction.
No Catch Me if You Knit this week, I'm afraid.

Update Thursday 23rd May

I'm just about to put a few skeins of yarn in my new store, at www.trailingclouds.com
There'll be more coming next week; this is just a small start, to get back into the swing of things. If you've been waiting for Mind The Gap yarn for a while: thank you for your patience!

Sunday 7th April

Profuse apologies to anyone expecting an update this evening: unforeseen family circumstances mean I regretfully have to close the shop for a week, reopening Sunday 14th April. Don't worry if you've bought yarn already: outstanding orders are being dispatched. Many thanks for your understanding.

Update Thursday 4th April

Only a little update this evening, mostly Mind The Gap, and a couple of skeins with a single knot. This will be my last Thursday update on Etsy: from next week onwards, www.trailingclouds.com will land at a new shop on Big Cartel. I'll keep adding small amounts of stock to my Etsy store on Sunday evenings though, for the foreseeable.

I'm very excited about my new store! It'll open for business on the evening of Thursday 11th April, at 9pm BST, with a couple of new 6 and 7 stripe colour ways, as well as CMYK and Mind the Gap.
