					<description><![CDATA[Daring the colour wheel, every time I blend yellow and purple together.... This blend works up in such a way, each turn will be a surprise.

Sock blend, 20%Nylon 80%NZ Merino - this yarn is going to work for socks but also any of your other 4 ply makes, I like using this blend myself because it's going to have a bit more stability and strength compared to 100% Merino.
4ply
400M per 100g

					<description><![CDATA[Recycled yarns are an awesome thing the yarn mill I used create. They grab all the odds and ends and create a proper not waste product. Something this world needs to do more regularly as we get overrun in textile waste....

These yarns don't have a set fibre content, just wool and merino blend, New Zealand grown and processed. They are soft enough to wear against your skin as a hat or gloves but I wouldn't use it for babies (just IMO, you do you).

These are sold in 50gram skeins
8ply
100M per 50G
HAND WASH ONLY - unless you're felting with it, this yarn will felt if you make it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lightening Strike is inspired by two things, obviously what it's named after but also a dyeing technique for T-shirts I have been watching videos on and it creates a glow around the lightening....

I will work with this yarn once I have finished my current project. It as a skein has a dark navy patch, 2 lighter blues and a white patch. With a bit of planning it will pool into a lightening strike like jag in your work. The 4 ply may not play ball so much as a sock or something with a smaller circumference. I'm excited to find out how it goes!

4ply version are 400M per 100grams
8ply is 200M per 100grams.

Sold as 100grams.
Machine washable but hand wash is recommended for all hand knits!

Dyed in Blenheim, NZ. Fibre grown and processed in the South Island, New Zealand. This is a yarn with a very small carbon footprint!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Limited Edition, won't ever be repeated!

94% NZ Merino, 6% Nep

This beautiful yarn has colourful lil speckles of nep throughout. Dyed with some very fun colours of pinks, purples, blue and a splash of yellow.

This is a different manufacturer to my normal supplier and has a different length, so won't be easily used interchangeably.

Machine washable but hand wash always recommended.
4 Ply
325 meters per 100G
100 grams]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Large project bags, sewn by me!

Made with the highest quality of materials, made with functionality in mind, made by my own pattern/design.

Drawstring top means no catching on buckles, zippers etc.

Big pockets on the inside as well as the main bag.

Foam interfacing for the walls for stability, you can use this as a bucket bag if wanted. And the foam means it can be folded for a time and won't crease (I have used the wrong interfacing once before).

Handles so this bag can be carried as a handbag, they are large though. I've used mine as carry on in planes.

Big enough for a sweater and extra.  I use smaller bags in mine for multiple projects. This is my carry bag, not just a project bag!

I've added a custom made option for those of you who don't like my combos (which is fair enough, I'm weird!) I will work with you to create the best bag possible. If you were interested in some applique or embroidery there will be an added cost (because that usually takes hours) but I am very happy to create to order.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hand knit beanies, Made by Me in Blenheim NZ. Each beanie is one of a kind and different.

Yellow spike - Such a process in this hat! It started out as a pale pink. Which I didn't love, I overdyed it with a high glo yellow and dark grey splats. Hand sewn/painted patch and some added studs. If yellow were my colour this would be my hat but alas, it just doesn't suit my skin tone so I would love some one else to embrace this awesome hat.
100% Merino. Hand wash only. It has a beautiful haze to it, almost fuzzy.

Purple Mohair Mix - A nice little mix of merino and mohair. Again this was meant for me but I didn't love it on.
Brim - 100% Merino, hand dyed by be OOAK dyed, hat main - double stranded, one strand is Magic ( A colour way by me) 100% Merino. the other is an unmarked mohair yarn, I'm not absolutely sure of the mix but it is lovely and soft. The mohair blend yarn give this hat a proper fluffy haze but the merino brim means it's not on your face. I will put a pompom on this hat for free if wanted (I will email after purchase if I don't have a note from you). Gentle machine wash capable but handwash recommended.

Colourwork Pink - CUUUUUUTE! Made with a bunch of different yarns.... Pink brim is 100% Merino, dyed by me, leftover from a jersey I made. Grey- a "recycled" yarn from Wild Earth Yarns, a mixture of wool and merino. Black is an Ashford 100% wool and the bright colours is CYM (dyed by me recently) 100% Merino.
Topped with a dusty pink pompom. A blooming gorgeous hat. Hand wash only.

&#160;

All hats are a one size fits most, youth to adults]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Kids hats, all in one place. Each hat is different and a detailed description will be for each hat.

Fox - Argh, too cute! This hat is a small toddler size. Made with a "recycled" yarn which is heavy on merino but doesn't have exact fibre content listed as it's a product that is created with mill waste/odds and ends. This version has alpaca in it. The decorations are hand sewn on and are adorable! Small child size, around 2-5years.

Black/Blue pompom - this beanie is created with a pattern I was thinking of writing up. It's made with a 4ply yarn so it is light weight and the pompom is detachable. The yarn is 100% Merino, black is a commercial dyed yarn and the blue was from one of my christmas advents. Best suits a small child head, around 5-7years old (but measurements to come)]]></description>
