I saved the loudest one for last :) It’s crazy and bright, and I love it. Unapologetic pink, blending into bright yellow/green in a perfect echo of a gerber daisy. The colour deepens to a pinky purple right at the edges. Crazy daisy :) And…
Instalment number 2 of the new colours I’ve developed for my spring Ombré launch! This colour is gentle and neutral, with a beauty all its own; ‘Willow’. Willow graduates slowly from brown, to chestnut, to beige and gray with just a hint of yellow. To…
For weeks I’ve been sharing sneak peeks of my work in developing ombré yarns, and I am delighted to say that I’ve finally achieved a technique that suits my picky personality and allows me to get smooth, lovely, long-run colour changes into the yarn. This Friday, The…
The March colour way, ‘Cove’ is available for purchase this weekend in our online store, starting tomorrow and ending on Sunday evening. Cove is dyed on our Killarney Sock base – 420 yards of sturdy-but-soft merino/nylon 80/20 blend. Cove is perfect for shawls, scarves and…
Happy March 1st! Today there is lots to celebrate at The Blue Brick – the opening of our online store, allowing us to move off Etsy and offer things with a little more flexibility (and a much nicer design). Etsy is awesome, but not for…

Here you go! It’s a small update to our Etsy store, but it contains some awesome goodies: First up; Oregon Cave. This one is my fave, hands down. Wondering how big that cave is? Here’s Tito standing in it. Then there’s ‘Night Heron’. Based off…
New colour way, to be added to this Fridays small Etsy update, ‘Sundown’. Which of us has never grabbed inspiration from a beautiful sunset view? I took this on our last vacation, over the ocean. There’s a little bit of all things sunset in here;…
Friday February 19th, at 11am EST there will be a small Etsy update featuring a few new yarns that I’ve been working on (hopefully some gradients too, but not making promises there yet!). These two are based off some photos I took during the Fiestas de…
Exciting news – this month The Blue Brick has a new product arriving in our Etsy store, our very own hand painted gradient yarns! We’ve been working hard on test drives and refining to bring you the smoothest, most vibrant long-run colour gradients, which will…
