hey you! yes, you!! wanna buy some YARN???!? i’ve been doing a bit of a studio tidy, and have decided that some of this yarn has been sitting on the shelves for far too long, so i’m running a surprise spring-cleaning sale!! all older dyelot stock is currently 20% off – that’s essentially anything that {…Continue Reading}
you’d probably all agree that this year has been tough. we’ve all been feeling it in one way or another – COVID lockdowns, work & money worries, the looming Brexit deadline, uncertainty, anxiety, illness, exhaustion. it’s been a hard time for most of us, and it doesn’t feel like it will get easier anytime soon. {…Continue Reading}

since i have a limited budget of both money and shelf space, i don’t often buy new books. so when i took a good look at my book collection, it was pretty obvious that there were a lot of voices that weren’t represented. i’ve got a decent selection of feminist and queer books (although a {…Continue Reading}
