We are loving all your name suggestions - keep ‘em coming!
There’s lots more Posh news to share with you, but I’m not feeling very chatty this week (I have tonsillitis AGAIN) so I’m going to make it snappy.
We have some more new yarns coming in: a lace weight version of Daisy, 80% merino / 20% bamboo, 800 yards per 100g, £12 per 100g. And a new superwash merino sock yarn, called Esme, which has 400 yards per 100g, and is £12 per 100g. This one is going to be super popular, I can tell. Its very similar to the Koigu KPPPM base, very tightly plied, and oh so soft. And also Martha - 80% Superwash Merino / 10% Nylon / 10% Cashmere in sock weight (400 yards per 100g), £13 per 100g skein.
Also, we are contemplating a fun new addition to the Posh Yarn range - a wool wash, called Posh Wash. The gang at Ravelry have given it a resounding thumbs up, but I’d love to hear your opinion too. It is scented with lavender and eucalyptus, and is quite similar to the popular SOAK wash.
Finally, I have invested in some BadAss studio lights for the yarn photography, so I’m hoping that this week’s photos will be so superb that they knock your socks off. No pressure there then. Once the photos are done, I’ll add my favourites to the blog, because it’s looking a bit bare, isn’t it?

Dee, do they no longer remove tonsils? I had mine out when I was 6 and the adenoids too, and have never had problems

I hope you get over your tonsillitis super fast - what bad luck after such a lovely holiday. Love the sound of the new yarns - can’t wait to see them.
