🎄 A few of you had the bright idea of using Midwinter Chimera for our Singing Stones fingerless mittens. So I knitted one up! I used the same contrast colour as the Rose Window Tam (pic 3) and I’m delighted that I can be all festive and matchy-matchy. I just have to make its twin now! 😁

✨ To make it easy, I’ve added it as an option to the Singing Stones kits in the online shop. They’re ready to ship now, but please remember that Midwinter is a limited edition colourway. You might want to order soon to avoid disappointment. 🙃

🎄 Thanks so much to everyone who chose to shop with us over the weekend! It’s taking us a bit longer to get through packing and shipping due to the unexpected volume, but we anticipate being all caught up by the end of the week. There’ll be lots of lovely yarn landing on doorsteps very soon! 🎁

Many thanks to @waterwaysworld for featuring us in their latest issue. 😊
We spoke to Amelia, who asked us about how RiverKnits got started on our narrowboat home, what we’re up to now, and how Covid has impacted our business.

This issue includes a Christmas gift guide and we are not the only featured business working with British wool!

It’s here, it’s here, and it’s full of cheer! 🎄

Midwinter is our festive Chimera colourway. Naturally, it’s limited edition, but we dyed plenty! You can find it in the online shop now. 🎁

The colour inspiration for this magically marled yarn was stained glass and the returning of the light at the Winter Solstice. ✨ Although more and more, I’m seeing vintage fairy lights!
See the previous post to see it knitted up into my Rose Window Tam design. The kits have been popular so far (thanks so much!) - perhaps a KAL is in order?? 🤷‍♀️
