Burren Mist
Wool · Aran
Sheep’s wool. A sturdy, medium-thick yarn.
$30 / skein
LIBRARIAN’S NOTE
A good friend to cables and cosy jumpers. It holds a stitch beautifully, without feeling stiff.
Thames Fog
Silk & mohair · Lace
Smooth silk with fluffy goat fibre. Very fine.
$31 / skein
LIBRARIAN’S NOTE
For a floaty shawl, or held beside another yarn to add a soft little halo. Light as a whisper.
Skye Heather
Wool · Bulky
Sheep’s wool. A thick yarn for bigger stitches.
$26 / skein
LIBRARIAN’S NOTE
A satisfying weekend scarf. Big, friendly stitches that grow quickly — very nice with a pot of tea.
A good yarn is like a good book. You’ll want another chapter.

POSTCARD NO. 47 · LONDON
Dear friend,
Found a tiny dye shop in a Shoreditch back alley today. The owner made me tea and wouldn’t let me leave without three skeins.
Bringing them home for you.
With love, The Traveling SkeinHI, NICE TO MEET YOU
Not your grandma’s
yarn shop.
(Though she’d love it.)
The Traveling Skein began with a carry-on stuffed with wool and a habit of chatting up shepherds. Now it’s a little shop for curious makers — part souvenir stand, part cosy living room, all heart.
No secret handshake. No perfect stitches required. Just something lovely to make, and a warm welcome.
COMING SOON · OUR LITTLE SHOP
A comfy couch.
A kettle always on.
A place for you.
One day, there’ll be a door to walk through. Until then, we’ll keep a little corner of the internet warm for you.
