Anyone for Kidsilk Haze?…

just a quick update on the destash sale. I’ve now added 36 different lots to my page on ravelry that I’m selling off including

Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze in Candy GirlArtesano Hummingbird in various shades

and softest of all, Trendsetter Handspun Cashmere

All of them looking for a good home here

It pains me to do it but……

We moved house 3 weeks ago now and whilst I’m happy to have finished the seemingly endless unpacking it’s still a little strange getting used to living in a much smaller space. Imagine trying to cram the possessions of 2 die hard collectors previously spread throughout a 5 bedroomed house with cellars into a 3 bedroomed apartment converted from a Victorian bakery and you’ve got the idea.

I thought I’d done a pretty good job of hiding the true extent of my years of yarn stashing from Sam but when he asked me in the stunned tones of someone who can never understand what it is to knit ‘why do you have so much yarn?’ I found myself stuck for a truly convincing answer. I have no idea.

I got rid of a lot of yarn ~ or so I thought ~ about 6 months before the house went on the market but since them it seems to have ‘gone forth and multiplied’. Not just the odd ball either, I mean packs of some yarns and in the case of a particular shade of Rowans’ All Season’s Cotton, about 18 balls AND the back of a cardigan. Who am I kidding? I’m never going to knit this lot up, I very rarely knit for myself as I’m too busy designing for work, so I’ve taken the plunge and am selling it off. Yes it pains me to do it but it’s better that it goes to the home of someone nimbled fingered and caring enough to lovingly knit it up rather than keep it crammed in airtight boxes where it all currently lives.

So if you fancy a bit of a bargain I’ve added it to my Ravelry page here. If you’re interested in  a yarn and you’re a Ravelry user then message me through Ravelry. If you’re not on Ravelry, don’t worry you can email me through the website here.

I’ll be adding more yarn to the page once I’ve photographed it all but for now enjoy browsing

The wind down continues..

It’s taken me much longer than I’d hoped ( there’s a LOT going on at the moment ) but I’ve just added some more markdowns to SALE at duppdupp here.

I haven’t started on the buttons yet but they’re going to be reduced to, right now I’m off to bed.

The times they are a-changing…..

the de-stash steps up a gear and in the next few days I’ll post more information on the  items I’m selling including a variety of dyed and undyed yarns and a  Stoll 10 gauge  2 feed hand flat machine

De-stash Sale

There comes a time when you have to be honest and ask yourself  ‘WHEN am I going to get around to doing something with that?!’ Well my time is now. From stuff I snuck into corners after closing HK handknit to bits I bought because it seemed like a good idea at the time ( an Addi Express that’s still in its box). Some bits have been on Ebay but the prices have dropped again and this time there are no Ebay fees to pay for me which helps a lot. I’ve started it to a new ‘De-stash Sale’ section here at duppdupp.com and will try to keep adding items regularly though my hands are a bit full at the mo.

Summer. . .what Summer?

Well what laughingly passed for Summer in Scotland is over and it’s back to short dark days and cold rain. On the up side that means it’s proper knitting weather! Not much consolation I’m sure but I’ve just added lots more bargains to the duppdupp store on Ebay, have a look at them here.
