Purple Sprouting

The Topelt Shawl is a delightful crochet pattern by Katy Petersen of .

The construction is simple and a great introduction to short rows. First the lace edging is created with the body being filled in using short rows.

This version was crocheted using 165g of 5ply Luna yarn in the colourway Life in a Glasshouse.

Life in a Glasshouse has been restocked on our 5ply Luna, 4ply Twinkle and 2ply Aura yarn bases.

It's time to reveal the July instalment of our Around the World in 12 Skeins yarn club.

In July we headed to Amsterdam, the city of canals, world renowned museums, tall leaning houses and more bicycles than you can shake a stick at.

Main: Grey Light over the Leliesluis
Mini: Dusky Gracht Green

* The Leliesluis bridge is a significant landmark in Amsterdam and is a highlight for tourists offering a picturesque vantage point of 3 national monuments.

I'm so excited to finally introduce our 2026 Yarn Advent Calendar : The Prism Sessions.

Inspired by mine and Mr PS' love of music in all its forms: pop, rock, a little ska, a little punk, maybe even a touch of the Proms. But more than music itself, it's about the atmosphere around it. The excitement.

The anticipation. That feeling when you've waited months for a gig and the night finally arrives.

The way a song can lift you when you're low, spark something when you're stuck or make you dance in the kitchen (or in the studio) without thinking.

This advent is a celebration of all those moments, spun into 24 days of colour.

Pre-orders open today: Wednesday 26th August at 8pm NZT.

I can't wait to share this year's colour story with you.

The stage is almost ready. There's a little hum in the air.

Advent pre-orders open tomorrow, Wednesday 26th August at 8pm.

The next beat is almost here.

Advent preorders will go live on Wednesday 26 August at 8pm NZT.
