I enjoyed knitting a halloween cowl so much that I decided to become the first UK stockist of the fantasic Doodle Decks by Pacific Knit Co.
Avoid expensive US shipping and order direct from the UK.
These will be stocked on a regular basis and are ready to ship. If you see pre order in one of the options please allow 2-3weeks for delivery.
A brilliant way to play with colour and use scraps of yarn but I’ll be stocking lots of mini skein sets too…

These have been washed, rinsed and line dried.
Although I have tried to photograph this yarn in plenty natural light, the actual colour may vary slightly to the way the image is presented on your screen.
The yarn has been rinsed until the water runs clear, however some bleeding MAY occur and handwashing in a lukewarm solution with wool detergent would be recommended. Do not soak or wring. Do not tumble dry.
