Welcome

Welcome to Peggy's Yarns blog.  I have been knitting for a number of years and some of you may know me from Peggy's Collection. My late grandmother was called Peggy and she is the reason I have a love of knitting. I have recently decided to start hand dyeing some yarns and fibre and open up a etsy shop.  I plan on starting my own website for the yarns too and I am going to be stocking some other yarn manufacturers and independent dyers too.

I am also going to feature other knitters on the blog, reviews of books and other yarns too. I would love to start a podcast about my knitting adventures too so any feedback if any of you would like to hear that would be great! I will also feature on here what I have on the needles at the moment and projects for the future.

I have had a great response since I have been listing the yarns and I have sold lots already so a BIG thank you to everyone that has bought off me so far your support has been fabulous.

Here are some of the yarns that I have sold and have listed at the moment in my shop

If you would like to look at any of the yarns I have for sale my etsy shop can be found here Peggy's Yarns Etsy Shop


The current project I am working on at the moment is a pair of socks for my 6 year old son.  He saw the yarn which is a regia one, and squealed 'Rainbows' as he loves rainbows so I told him I would make him a pair of socks.  I have made lots of socks before but never child size ones.  I have finished one sock and about half way with the other

I have definitely got my sock knitting mojo back as I have another adult size pair on the needles with self striping sock yarn from WharfedaleWoolworks which I bought last christmas.  The yarn is a dream to work with and I havent decided which lucky person will be gifted these yet.

Seeing as though I have been making so many socks I would love for any of you to recommend some sock knitting patterns for me.  Just leave a comment and I will take a look.

I will try and update this blog as regular as possible as I have some more fabulous yarns to add soon and lots more knitting projects.
