Let's Go Shopping

I have some stock left over if you are interested.
I also have some swifts on order and will update when they arrive, but in the meant time keep shopping!

These prices do not include postage.
If you are interested in purchasing please send me an email (trydyeing at gmail.com) or contact me on Ravelry (seeApenny)

Blocking wires -
$20 a kit

The wires are 1m long
include 12 medium wires + 4 fine wires (the medium wires are slightly flexible but hold a good strong line, the fine wires will be better for curving)
[I have several kits left that have 12 medium + 2 fine + 2 very fine (there's very little difference but the very fine wires do bend a lot more if you are doing curved lace)]

The kits are stainless steel so won't rust and come in a sturdy cardboard tube that travels well through the post.

T-Pins
$7 for 100 pins
Also rustproof these pins come in a handy little container.

Wondering how the wires work?
Here's an example. I used 7 of the medium wires and about 75 pins to pin out this scarf - I did use a lot of pins to space holes where I wanted them.




Crochet Hooks
$15 for 12 hooks 2.5 to 10.0mm
These aluminium hooks are very comfortable to use and a great price for 12 hooks.

Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show 2010

We had a great time at Bendigo this year.
We were down in the Sharing Space shed.
Hello to everyone who stopped by, to old friends and new.
This rainbow of colours are the samples for the Try Dyeing kits, so you can get an idea of what colours will work well together for you.

The kit comes with your choice of a Primary Colour Kit (includes 3 primary colours) or 2 Colour Kit (2 complimentary colours) and a 100gm skein of yarn to dye plus gloves, a teaspoon and instructions. You'll need a few more things to give it a go - like glad wrap and somewhere to steam your creation, but the basics are covered.
And all that lovely white yarn - for Bendigo I had 2ply (in bulk rather than skeined), 3ply, 4ply, 4ply sock yarn, 5ply and 8ply.
I also had some more 'gourmet' yarns - Silk, Silk/Wool, Bamboo/Wool/Nylon, Wool/Nylon for those people that are looking for something more fancy to dye on.
Crochet hooks - great value 12 in a set! Washable Niddy Noddies.
See that yarn swift - they sold out pretty quickly, I have some more on order.


And for the pretties! TeriGlassBeads. I was lucky to be able to take some of Teri's work with me and it was very popular. Great prices too.
