  1. Greetings!
    I am coming to visit Scotland at the end of this month and I am really looking forward to stopping by your shop while I’m there! I am particularly interested in getting my hands on some Uschitita yarns since her online sales always sell out so quickly. She lists you as a stockist on her website, but I don’t see Uschitita listed on yours. Can you confirm whether you may have any of her yarn in stock at the end of August? Thank you so much for your help!

    • Hi Marisa,

      Yes, I do stock Uschitita, and I have some colourways on the Merino Singles left in my online shop, but also I have some colourways left on her sock 75/25 base and her 80 /20 twist base. They have sold out pretty quickly since they arrived in mid July. I cannot guarantee that the remaining colourways will be in stock by the end of August.
