Moor up by the sheep we said, it’ll be lovely and peaceful we said. 😅

Put your sound on for the full experience. These sheep seem to have mistaken us for their humans. I tried explaining it to them but they just baa’ed louder. 🐑🐑

Birds know about the warmth of wool! Found this cosy home nestling in the hawthorn this morning. 🥰 Also, but not in focus, are the teeny tiny buds forming on the branches. The towpath will soon have a canopy of pink and white blossom. 🌸

There was great excitement in the studio last week

There was great excitement in the studio last week as a fresh batch of Severn 4 Ply landed on our doorstep! 🥳 Severn is our single flock Jacob wool yarn from the Malvern Hills and those lovely sheep have done it again; it turned out gorgeous. 💚 We’ve been busy ever since dyeing all the shades!

This means we are almost ready to launch the Prism jumper pattern! 🙌 I (Becci) am wearing mine made with Severn in Over The Hills (green) and two colours of Chimera (Lichen and Conker). Today I pulled together some alternative combos so we can put kits in the shop.

We’ll be releasing this on a pre-order basis to newsletter subscribers first, and then to everyone soon after. You know what to do (sign-up is on our website). 😉

Oh yes, we’ll have more of this sunshine, thanks! 🌤 And lambs skipping in the field - a sure sign that Spring is on its way. 🌱

Hey Knit-Tea Retreaters 👋 and everyone else! 👋👋

Today is the online marketplace and RiverKnits will be live on Instagram at 6pm (GMT) this eve! Hop over to @theknittearetreat for the full schedule of fabulous yarny folk. We’ve been asked to play a tune... 🎶 but we promise to show you some yarn first. 😁🧶 Let us know if there’s anything you’d particularly like to see in the comments 👇 and we’ll try to fit it in.

There are more businesses taking part in the Knit-Tea Retreat marketplace than are doing live appearances, so don’t miss them! You can find them on the KTR website, follow the links in their bio for all the info.

The shawl in the photo is the stunning All Together shawl by @nimble_knits hanging on our rainbow mini skein wall. You can find kits for it in our online shop - all you have to do is choose which rainbow you want to make it with! 🌈

Thanks to everyone who tuned into my Knit-Tea Retr

Thanks to everyone who tuned into my Knit-Tea Retreat talk on Colour - and thanks to Jennie and Zöe @theknittearetreat for having me! I hope you all came away with a little tip or trick and some extra confidence in choosing colours for your projects.

It was a lot of fun, but it was also a bit weird addressing a sea of screens, so thanks for all the questions and interaction! If you have any more questions, feel free to pop them in the comments below 👇

Now, it’s almost time for Estelle @midwinteryarns to tell us about Swedish knitting traditions, so I’m going to pop the kettle on and get my knitting out ready to watch and listen.
