Purl Soho teamed up with the legendary Manos Del Uruguay to create Lovebird, a yarn full of spunk and adventure, beauty and joy! Lovebird is a handspun 100% superwash merino dipped into kettles of inspiring color. From super-colorful multi-colors, like Candy Shop and Caprese, to more monotone semi-solids, like Blackberry and Turmeric, Lovebird's hand-dyed colors are always a treat that make every stitch a little surprise. This yarn is handspun from two soft plies that barber pole around each other, gently flowing between a bit thicker and slightly thinner. It knits up at a chunky or super bulky weight and is an exciting choice for wonderfully soft blankets, beautiful sweaters, and super cozy winter accessories! Our Lovebird partner, Manos Del Uruguay, is a non-profit member of the World Fair Trade Organization, which means they are committed to fair and safe working conditions, as well as a respect for the environment. They are dedicated to improving the lives of women in rural Uruguay and caring for the crafts and traditions of their land. Manos Del Uruguay also works to protect the environment with production protocols that emphasize thoughtful and effective management of water, waste, energy consumption and emissions. Their network of cooperatives are owned by local artisans who harness the rainbow in each and every skein! PLEASE NOTE: Because this yarn is hand dyed in small batches, dye lots will vary and may differ somewhat from photos here. Occasionally, there may be dye lots that vary more dramatically. In that case, we'll show both versions here... Pick your favorite! In addition, yardages and gauge may vary a bit between skeins. We hope you embrace this variation as part of the character and charm of the yarn, and when in doubt, we recommend ordering an extra skein. You can return unwound yarn for a refund within 30 days of purchase, or within 6 months, for store credit. Our Return Policy has all the details!

My favourite kind of albums / books are the kind that are made absolutely from scratch - without any pre-made album covers or pages. Major sense of satisfaction. Of course, this doesn't happen very often (it's tiring to figure out measurements and my brain isn't wired for numbers) but here's one I made recently for class: It's made of pieces of cardboard box wrapped with raw canvas. Closed Open Inside - accordian books back The canvas cover's covered with mists and ink and stamping - which makes for yummy messy fingers in the process. Best part of class. The little metal clothes hanger is just too cute A big inky-fingered hi-five to all the lovely ladies who joined this class - we had fun eh? :) and a special hello to Jamie who spent part of her holiday with us!
I used blue for the first time~
Have you seen our next advertised workshop on the website? No? Well for a bit of a change we are going to be holding an Introduction to Altered Art Class where you will be provided with all the materials to come away with two altered pieces just like these below. This first is an altered clipboard, and hosts a multitude of different techniques using a range of mediums from inks, pastes and powders. That measuring tape strip is even my by hand.... ...and the second piece we will be creating is this gorgeous altered book with the inclusion of handmade flowers and a Prima stamped doll. You will learn how to structure your book (provided for you) ready for decorating, and techniques such as paper piecing, painting with inks and die-cutting. During the four hours we shall aim to complete both projects. All materials needed are supplied, although you are welcome to bring some of your own tools if you prefer. This is not just open to avid crafters...we are welcoming people of all abilities. This class is an 'Introduction' to Altered Art and although it is crammed full of techniques, we shall be covering everything from the basics up :-) The workshop will be running on Thursday 14th November from 10am. To book your space please visit www.papermaze.co.uk and reserve under 'Workshops' or call the shop on 01473 892195 Tues, Wed or Fri 9.30-3pm. Refreshments will be provided, although you will be required to bring your own lunch. We look forward to seeing some new faces there!
Je reprends goût au scrap et puis vu le temps automnal que nous avons, que faire d'autre me direz vous... Sujets d'avril: -votre/vos plus beaux rêves : qu'ils soient fous ou tout simples,lié à votre quotidien ou bien loin de celui-ci...racontez nous votre rêve le plus doux,le plus fou ou simplement celui qui vous fait avancer jour après jour! Un rêve... Gagner au Loto bien sûr... Le seul rêve qui permettrait de réaliser tous les autres ! Technique: De la récup ! Utiliser une chute de découpe ( merci Sev !), elle mettra votre fond en valeur, tout en le masquant. Du papier de soie d'un emballage, apporte un peu de matière avec son joli froissé. Des morceaux de napperons, du gesso et du masking tape pour finaliser le tout.. Quelques gouttes d'encre de chine et une trace faite avec un petit verre. Le titre s'écrit lui aussi à la verticale ! -un lieu que vous aimez par-dessus tout! il fait ou a fait partie de votre vie il est synonyme de bien-être,dites-nous quel est ce lieu que vous aimezUn lieu... Face à la mer... Technique : Réalisation d'un fond au préalable. Bande de papiers et de masking tape collées à la verticale. Recouvrir le tout d'un fine chouche de gesso puis à l'aide d'un pochoir et de glimmer appliquer un motif. Quelques gouttes de glimmer d'un bleu plus lumineux pour réhausser le tout. Le tag qui est essuyé sur le pochoir pour être juste un peu tâché de glimmer. Le titre est écrit à l'aide de twine. Pour cela passer, la twine sur votre tube de colle et former les lettres. Sujet 2 de mai: l'objet qui vous caractérise le plus,celui dont vous ne pouvez vous passer ou qui vous ressemble de part ses caractéristiques! A vous de nous dire lequel ! Un objet... Difficile de choisir juste un objet ! J'ai préféré faire une liste des indispensables ! J'ai mis en valeur cette liste grâce à cette étiquette Elle's Studio, laquelle est posée sur une chute de carton. Le fond est préparé juste avec du glimmer de couleur contrastante, un peu de twine et de papier de soie pour apporter un peu de matière. Des morceaux de de masking tape viennent coller le carton comme pour épingler une liste sur le frigo ! J'ai tellement pris d'avance que celles de Juin sont également prêtes ! Je programmerai tout ça bientôt, enfin.... si le mois de juin arrive... A très bientôt ! Aurélie

I fully intended to complete and display this little table-topper and during my first-week-of-July ‘red, white & blue’ extravaganza. But reality hit and it didn’t happen. However, after having this project on my list for 2 years now, I figured I’d just go with the momentum, whether it was past the holiday or not.This was...Read More
