Our blog is an absolute wealth of information and inspiration by the way; we don't shout about it nearly enough. We have a yarn index area here for a start. There are no Rav links at all here as it's designed as an off-Rav resource: edencottageyarns.co.uk/pages/yarn-spe…

Also I've always wondered why we can't set the product Views (tabs) to alphabetical order? It would be a lot easier to find things.

@Shopify Hello, pretty please can you bring back the Back arrow on products instead of this new label icon, seeing as it keeps going back to view All? It means completely re-setting and filtering the View every single time, it's such a waste of time.

@YarnAddictAnni I've just joined Bluesky! I don't have much hope of keeping up with it as I struggle to fit everything in as it is, but it seems pretty great tbh. I'll try and find you.

I'm getting a notification saying that I should basically engage more so that X knows I'm a human behind this account and will show my posts to more people. I've been here engaging with folks and posting since about 2012 FFS!

Next up in new hand dyed yarns added to the website this week we have Coniston Fingering - superwash extrafine merino/kid mohair singles. It makes a beautifully soft, light, and warm fabric. edencottageyarns.co.uk/collections/co…

This week I've added LOADS of new batches of hand dyed yarn to the website. Starting with Lowther Lace - supremely soft and fluffy baby alpaca/silk 2ply (300m/50g) 😍 edencottageyarns.co.uk/collections/lo…

@mscarf01 Thankyou!

@EdenCottage Gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️

@herdyshepherd1 This is brilliant. I did lots of voluntary conservation work when I was in my teens and absolutely loved it. Will go back to it once retired! :D

It’s a horrible wet cold Lakeland day - but we got a heap of trees planted and tubed Thank you to all he young heroes that came to help us - we’ve all gone to get warmed up

@HedgehogCabin @Screamatworld @PETAUK WTAF. This is nuts! It's so patently obvious that this will not do the animal any good :(

Yes, this poor creature was tortured to death by these tags. And this was only one of the victims who was found - it breaks my heart to think of the fate of the others. And what's galling is that this cruel experiment was funded by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (yes, really), who are funded by the public, who give them donations. All those lovely people giving them money, thinking they were helping the hedgehogs they love, actually paid for this animal abuse. There was no apology from BHPS, no regrets. Not then, and none since. In fact, their spokesman, Hugh Warwick likened it to nothing more than a human getting hair extentions. Full story here: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

How wonderful to see PETA, the biggest animal rights organisation in the world, making their position clear and standing up for our precious UK hedgehogs, against these cruel vanity taggers. Thank you @PETAUK from the bottom of my heart. Please read: peta.org.uk/blog/tagged-he…

Here's a clip from 2016...

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Anyone fancy some spiderweb Tikiboo leggings (size L)?? I’m selling mine due to a size change! They’re in great condition with some very very light scuffs which you can only see in a certain light. ebay.co.uk/itm/4053021466…

I've also got a selection of Molke bras to add, a Montane zip up hoody, some Acai trousers, and some Fat Lad At the Back tops. My entire wardrobe is knitwear and activewear/outdoor gear and I'm in the process of selling/donating all of the latter, so yes there is a lot.

I'm having a HUGE clearout of Tikiboo items due to a change in size. Mostly running shorts, but also leggings. I've got more wardrobe items to add too. Please check them out here! ebay.co.uk/usr/victmag_62 And yes I accumulated a lot over the years! 😬😳 #UKRunClub #Tikiboo

@LizCorke They're absolutely beautiful Liz!

I promise you'll be smiling after watching this... The street dogs have a tough life. So today I loaded the scooter up with sausages, bones and fried chicken. The wagging tails tell you all you need to know 🥰
