FAQ
I always source my wool and blends from within NZ. Merino, Polwarth and Alpaca to name a few - all home grown.
As much as possible I source dyes from within the confines of Aotearoa NZ but because of our temperate climate we often don't have available the vibrancy of colours that other countries naturally have hence I use indigo, cocineal and other botanical products from overseas to offer variety in my wools.
It is always best policy to use the needles which achieve the desired tension for the pattern you are making. Knitting up a swatch can seem like such a time waster when you are dying to get on with your new project. I beg you to take the time to swatch. It's so much easier to work out the tension at the beginning than be disappointed at the end with a item which is either too small or large.
