Eden Cottage Yarns is a primarily hand-dyed yarn company based in Yorkshire, with an emphasis on simple, understated colours that have a timeless appeal. Owner/dyer Victoria takes her inspiration from the natural world, resulting in a wonderful palette of colours that complement the Eden Cottage patterns (for knitting and crochet) beautifully. Milburn 4ply is part of the mill-dyed (repeatable colour!) range, and is a luxiourious blend of British Bluefaced Leicester wool and silk.
Joanne Scrace is a knit and crochet designer who focuses on stylish wearable pieces. She is also one half of The Crochet Project.
