Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think Wollmeise Pure would work nicely and be resilient enough for baby clothes, and it's lovely and smooth. I'm sure it would be easy to fall down a rabbit hole of correspondence with British indie dyers looking for something closer to home. I've got some very light blue (not pastel!) sock yarn from The Border Tart that I intend to use for baby clothes, but I haven't actually wound it yet so don't know how good it will be.

I was thinking Manley... that’s a name I’ve not come across! Hope it’s not a baby girl.

I love the jewel-like crochet. Mrs VJ is very talented. And I bless the inventor of top-down seamless jumpers :)
