This is my new website.
www.theyarnyard.co.uk

Leonie has been my web guru and designed it with endless patience and buckets of creative ideas.

There's a main site and a blog and a non-competitive draw to win some yarn as well. All you do is sign up for the newsletter and you go in the draw.
More yarns will be added as soon as I have time to draw breath. We (the royal we, ie Leonie) got it all loaded up last night, and just as I was sitting there with a cup of tea admiring it, the computer packed in! Black screen.
it's now fixed but the air was as blue as some of the yarn I can tell you!

Thanks CY, It has taken an age to get from the initial idea for the website to what it is now, (all my fault) and Leonie really has been the most patient of people, greeting every suggestion with "yes we could do that, have you thought about X and T and 147 as well".
I didn't want a site which was purely a shopping cart, I wanted one which had some personality as well.
It has gone through a number of incarnations, but this one I can adjust myself without needing lots of ftp software and html knowledge.
I want to spend my time dyeing, not battling with hieroglyphics.

Just put a couple of new yarns on the site, including a fundraiser for Breast Cancer Care since it's Breast Cancer Awareness month.
