Lovely peaceful.just found you.

But it is Christmas.

enjoyed your podcast H, just parceling up some looms and you've been keeping me company today x

Thanks dear Helen for another lovely look into your world 😊 I really enjoyed seeing your beautiful kits and the embroidered stitch markers are just exquisite! I’d love to order some of your yarn but I need to knit from my stash for a while before I can allow myself to 😉 and thank you for the lovely footage of Tenby and your snow covered garden ❤ We’re just into Summer here in Tasmania and it’s quite warm today but we’re expecting rain in a couple of days which is always a relief! I’ve been enjoying watching The Mousie makes podcast, Belle and Stitch and Crafty Cleggs. Plus if you want to watch an Australian one I like the Mindful Melbourne Maker. My current project is making a new outfit for my granddaughter’s Dorothy Mouse from one of the books by Louise Crowther. I hope you have a successful market and a wonderful festive season xx

You are lovely! No need for professionalism. Organic and real is the best.

Ooooo!🫶🏼

Such a cozy episode!!! Will you be at VKL again this year? If so will you have the Maxine kits with you 👀

Tenby is my happy place!!

You had me in 19 Seconds Green Hills and Sheep 🥰. Thank you Helen, such a nice Video.Kind regards from Germany 👋🏼👩🏼‍🦰 Birgit

I’ve just found your lovely podcast. Thank you for the peaceful feeling and the wonderful content. I look forward to your next one and in the meantime will get caught up on the old ones.

The wool museum was fascinating, glad to see this kept alive

Hi Helen, you live in a beautiful place with lovely view. I was able to visit North-Wales this Summer and it was also gorgeous, I loved it. Thank you for sharing the footage of the Wool Museum, it was very interesting. I also prefer to knit with non-superwash yarn. I feel it is getting more popular, it seems that more and more people are becoming aware of its benefits. Have a great Autumn!

Hello. I've just found this channel. I'm from North Wales, we went to the Wool museum last Friday on the way home from the Gower. It was very quiet. But amazing

Hi Helen, wow what a gorgeous top and a beautiful colour of wool. What is the namè of your wool? Love Joan from Nottingham xx ❤

I chuckled at the “periodic chart” for sheep breeds - I’ve never seen this! I’d love to hang up a copy of it - it’s a handy way to understand the various breed properties!

I love her designs, i have a few of them in my library , hopefully I’ll get around to it next year

Another enjoyable episode Helen and I also very much enjoyed your discussion on your website about ‘proper’ wool 😊 Like you, I also much prefer real wool (and am enjoying using your yarns) and when knitting in superwash (for a family member who has skin allergies and cannot wear untreated yarn), I am always glad when the project is finished. In defence of this family member, I should add that it’s not because she doesn’t want to go the trouble of handwashing, it’s because she can only wear wool if the scales have been removed. So although I’m not a fan of superwash wools, I do think it is better than using, for example, a yarn made from acrylics/plastics. Anyway, as I said, for me it’s ‘proper’ wool all the way and I love your passion when talking about your yarn ❤ Sending warm wishes x

Good morning

Thank you, another great vlog. I Read the blog yesterday which was thought provoking. I have used super wash for baby blankets and for scarves for older family members who are less likely to hand wash. Personally I love hand washing woollens as I love the smell. But it was interesting to learn about process of getting to super wash ‘wool’. I do hate knitting with it as it has no substance and does not feel ‘woollen’ but it also has a place. I look forward to the rest of the blogs. I have read a few anti test knitting comments recently but like you I have done several this year. They are great for challenging your knitting ability and making you knit outside your comfort zone. My next one will be a gansey for Birllin Yarns, I normally knit cardigans or jackets.😊

The winter treat box sounds so gorgeous! Also absolutely love your cardigan Helen. Looks so nice with that dress 😍

What a lovely podcast, I so enjoyed it. Thank you 😍 The scenery is so amazing ( I knew it had to be UK before you spoke), we used to go to N. Wales a lot when I was a child and how it rained! The rhodedendrons on the mountainsides were a glory to behold. I now live in the driest state on the driest continent - S. Australia and the weather is warming up already. We've been promised (threatened) with a long hot dry summer I just subscribed 😘Xx

What colours of dyes do you get, and which parts do you use in Wild Carrot and Purple Loosestrife? They are considered very invasive here in Canada, so I thought it would be fun to use some of them in fabric and yarn dying.

cute❤

stunning colour combo🧡

wow these look beautiful! I see some very classy items transform out of these classy romantic colours❤ love it!

I've watched a couple of your videos, but only just realised at the end that your based in Llandovery! I've visited the area twice in the Autumn and it's such a beautiful area and Llandovery is a lovely village. Last time I was there I bought a wicker basket from the market which I store my yarn in. I plan to visit again (I hope) before the end of October, so I will drop into your shop and say hello if I do. :-)

Absolutely bloomin lush. If I could only ever knit with one yarn ever……….🫶🏼

The spinning was brilliant! I am a spinner too and have never see the wheels with treadles where both feet push!

Thanks again for such a peaceful and relaxing visit with you- I love having a peek into your lifestyle and surroundings 😊

:-) Hello - The mic needs to be placed somewhere where's there's less friction.

I've been spinning for 33 years and feel about it as you do. The feeling when a skein of yarn is finished is just the best. I love your yarn and I love your podcasts, so I'm a happy knitter. Xx

Hi Helen, Iam a new subscriber on your blog. My name is Joan and live in Nottingham. I loved your shawl what you made.I love your dress where did you buy from? Love Joan xx❤

Love your podcasts Helen and your beautiful yarn colours perfect for 🍁 Autumn.The shawl is beautiful 🤩.Nice to see the yarn festival too .xx

Oh wow the colour of that cardigan WIP is beautiful!!

You: I'm not even gonna think about the thing that happens at the end of the year yet! Me casually knitting my fiancé's Christmas jumper while watching this: 😐

That verdure shawl!!!!! Such a beautiful colour, nice and saturated. Love your channel! ❤ I’m watching while spinning some naturally coloured chocolate brown border Leicester. I’ll binge watch some older podcasts and you’ll be keeping me company tonight. Only, I don’t know how much actual spinning I’ll get done as you show too much yarny goodness that keep my eyes entertained.

Hello there Helen- I’m a new subscriber and I live in Tasmania which is the little island state of Australia ( some people think we’re in Africa!) I think I heard you mentioned on Twinset and Purl podcast and I love the look of your yarn 🧶 I might just have to order some of your Jacob- it looks great!

Your Verdure Shawl is so beautiful! I love how it turned out in your yarn. So nice to see you here and hear about your knits!

Helen, you just radiate sweetness ❤! We’ve been enjoying the delightful weather here in North Wales, too, knowing the rain, mud and wind is around the corner. I’m a fellow candle addict - my family pokes fun at me for always buying yarn, candles or plants 😂 Thanks so much for the links to check out. Beautiful shawl, yarn, and I cannot wait for the Herblore sweater to be released!!

It was good to see the DPN cosies were doing their job and you didn't lose your stitches when you went to try your cardi on! ..and what a lovely cardigan it is too. The yarn is beautiful. Thank you for all your kind words. I enjoyed hearing about how you source your wool and the sheep. I will definitely be following along with everything you do now our paths have crossed! 💗

Lovely podcast. Just love your yarn. Excited that Twinset & Purl will be designing for you too. Thanks for sharing xx

This was so much fun to watch! ❤️ Love that we now get to be IRL friends 😉😘❤️

Thank you Helen for another beautiful view of your world. I am a candle addict too! But I don’t like lighting them, yes I’m weird 🤭. If anyone reads this, purchase some Jacob it is glorious, such a joy to knit with, personally I think grippy/ rustic. Blooms beautifully and bouncy. Did you say 4 ply! How did I miss that! I tell you, the glorious surrounding countryside you live in how could the sheep not produce beautiful fleeces. Off to look at 4ply and Alex’s candles 🫣☺️

oh how wonderful!

The garden is very interesting, were you able to buy all of those dye plants at a garden centre? I love the crochet squares top, very summerery x

Hi, what a beautiful garden! And i love the crochet top, made from squares❤. Can i ask where do you get your madder plant from ? I have been trying to get madder seeds for my new dye garden , but unsuccessfully. I live in Ireland. Thanks

Hello 👋

Enjoyed your video. Love your crochet top. Can i ask what colour the wild carrot gives and the purple loosestrife? I have both and am enjoying natural dye process with different plants. Your dye garden looks great - mine needs a major weeding!!!!

Such a gorgeous video..I have some of your lovely yarns and I adore them. I recently knit a little shawl for my godmother in a colour called foxglove

I live on the coast in Maine USA and loosestrife isn’t allowed to be sold on the east cost states as it’s invasive. But it is lovely
