A selection of sock yarn with cotton instead of nylon. It adds durability without nylon and also has the fun property of not taking up the dye so you get this stunning visual effect.

Cat yarn I’ll be discontinuing. There’s some left on sock and DK just now if you have been waiting but don’t want to miss out. Calico cat will be a repeatable so there’s no rush if you fancy that one. I’m going to be offline today for the sake of my health but will post any orders tomorrow morning. Thank you! #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet mothyandthesquid.com

A new batch of Chaffinch on Bluefaced Leicester. It’s a little pinker to better differentiate it from the Bullfinch. I am still considering which new birds to dye for @thewoolmontyshow. When I asked for suggestions, many folk listed ones I have already done and even currently have in stock, which seems odd. I think social media does that. But thank you to those who thought of different ones! #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet #britishbirds

A show special for @wonderwoolwales I’ve called this colourway “Chestnut”. It’s a richer, darker version of Horse Chestnut with more wine and gold but less green and white. Only available on DK while stocks last. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet #wonderwoolwales

@wonderwoolwales memories with a beautiful background of DK. I have an end of academic year presentation to give at the uni tomorrow so wish me luck. I put a huge amount of effort into shows and somewhat less into studying, counting on decent sales to allow me to research at a more leisurely pace during summer. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet #wonderwoolwales

“Eurasian Jay in Flight” This medium sized bird has pinkish plumage with bright blue patches and black bars, and it has a black tail and white rump visible in flight. Known for its intelligence and mimicry, the jay inhabits mixed woodlands across Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia, often caching acorns that aid forest regeneration. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet

For those of you who pull not attend @wonderwoolwales , here’s one side of our stall. It shows our DK and aran collections, with the British Birds series in the centre. We are on the road homewards now. I plan to discontinue the cats and about half of the birds, giving me the space to add new bird colourways for @thewoolmontyshow #mothyandthesquid #wonderwoolwales #knitting #crochet #yarn mothyandthesquid.com

The birds (perched on the upper two rows) and the cats (lower two rows, may try leaping up) for day one at @wonderwoolwales - we are at stand P5, near Mr T & Coffee and the associated seating area. I’m so looking forward to seeing you all! #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet #wonderwoolwales

I don’t know how my stall for @wonderwoolwales magically set itself up offscreen, but every time I tried to sit and watch it on my phone the progress mysteriously stopped. Anyway, I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow! #wonderwoolwales #yarn #knitting #crochet #mothyandthesquid

Your British Birds bingo card! Sorta. But can you guess which ones were least popular? I’ll post the answer later. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet #britishbirds mothyandthesquid.com

These are the four British Birds I will be re-dyeing on Bluefaced Leicester for @wonderwoolwales based on the votes of people who say they will attend and wish to buy. Thank you to everyone who shared their preferences and I look forward to seeing you all at the show next weekend! #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet #britishbirds

We are in England for Spring into Wool! There are some Sunday tickets available if you’d like to visit. It’s at The Grammar School at Leeds and our stall is in the Sports Hall. Come gaze at the famous wall of colourful sock yarn! #mothyandthesquid #springintowool #yarn #knitting #crochet

A reel of all the British Birds colourways. Those re-dyed for Spring into Wool are Robin, Blue Tit, Green Woodpecker, and Kingfisher. If you are hoping to see the bird or cat yarn at the show please stop by first thing as they are very popular just now. May I also suggest that you not put bird and cat yarn in the same bag?!? #mothyandthesquid #yarn #springintowool #knitting #crochet mothyandthesquid.com

I have Great Tits. They’re a delightful garden bird, with a glossy black head, white cheeks, and a yellow breast with a distinctive black stripe running down the center. Their wings are blue with a white bar. On an unrelated note, I have perfectly acceptable mammaries. It seemed only right to complete the British Birds on 100% British Bluefaced Leicester with a classic colourway never before available on this yarn base. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet mothyandthesquid.com

The Greater Spotted Woodpecker is a striking British bird, known for its black and white plumage with a bright red patch under the tail. Males have an additional red patch on the back of the head, while females have a black nape.

The capercaillie is a large grouse found in Scotland’s pinewoods. It is known for its dramatic courtship displays, where males call and displaying their plumage to attract females. British Birds on 100% British Bluefaced Leicester is a limited edition collection.

I am on the road just now so any orders placed this week will be shipped next week. Thank you for your understanding. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet #britishbirds

“Cats are the Better Option”. This is a real photo, real yarn, and cats are really better than AI. Spend some time with your stash and your felines this weekend…
