Argh! New phone woes. It's got a much better camera than my old one, but I'm still learning the settings. It defaulted to recording in HDR, which apparently doesn't translate well to Instagram when it gets uploaded and compressed. Oh well. Tomorrow's reel will be better!
Oh yeah, almost forgot the yarn deets: this is me catching you up on the All Year Advent club! The first of two colors from March 2026.

Dyed blanks! I did a shop update and completely spaced on promoting it. Mailing list email coming soon, but here's a snippet in the meantime.

It's almost that time again, where I start on a new, fresh blank. I have a really special project in mind for how to use this one.

BLOCKING DAY! It's funny, I have this little internal list for what gets blocked and what doesn't. I love leaving hats unblocked because I feel like it retains the squish and elasticity better. But for shawls and scarves, blocking is imperative. I want the fabric to be relaxed and flowy.
For the yarns I sell, I almost always use unscented wool wash. But for my personal projects, the eucalyptus scented Eucalan is so crisp and pleasant.

I finally bound off my One Row Kerchief made with the mirror-dyed blank. Next step: blocking.

🩷 One Row Heart by Natasha Sills (that's me!) is a super easy shawl pattern that you can knit with any yarn, any gauge.
You can also use it to make itty bitty heart shapes like this one. Who couldn't use a little more love in their life these days?

Basilosaurus on Merinosaurus has made its triumphant return to stock 💕 This one is such a hit, I may have to cast on a new sample today.
