🧶 Colour dominance - a small detail that makes a big difference

In stranded colourwork, one colour will naturally stand out more - this is your dominant colour, while the other fades into the background.

✨ The key rule:
Your dominant colour should float below the background colour on the wrong side of your work.

• Left hand yarn = dominant
• Right hand yarn = background

A simple shift that can completely change how your pattern looks.

Have you noticed this in your knitting before?

🧵 Who doesn’t love a matching set?

These coordinating pin cushions, measuring tapes and scissors are as practical as they are pretty.

It’s always satisfying having your tools match - especially when they look this good sitting in your sewing space.

A small detail, but one that makes everyday crafting feel a little more special.

These preprinted fabrics from Japan are like a colouring book - but instead of crayons, you get to use needle and thread.

The line-drawn designs can be embroidered, sewn, pieced, or even painted - completely up to you. One of the designs features 64 figures, making it a lovely long-term project (one a day, if you like!).

Perfect for beginners wanting to practice stitches, or more experienced stitchers who want to play and experiment with thread.
