Silk Surprise Boxes
Hanne, the fantastic dyer of Hesselstrik yarns, has created a lovely set for us for this winter season. 12 mini skeins of 100% Mulberry Silk, hand-dyed with plants. Enough to create a beautiful scarf or simple top. Or to use in combination with other yarns for accent or to inject a shot of soft colour. Perfect for self-indulging or as a gift for a loved knitting enthusiast.
The Silk Surprise boxes are available in 2 colourways: In the Pinks, with accents of gold and brown, and Feeling the Blues, with moody grey and brown tints.
The silks are individually packaged allowing you to choose whether you want to spread the fun out over the advent season or enjoy all at once. Perfect for the holiday periods curled up in front of the tv or with family.
These are a limited edition with only 10 boxes available in each colour way. Reserve your box via the form below. Silk Surprise sets contain 12 individually wrapped silks in a useful storage box for 125 euros.
Register for our monthly newsletter
At the heart of Cherry Blossom and Tweed was a desire to create and support a community of knitters, crochet'rs and all crafters. We used Instagram to help people find out who we were and because we were led to believe we couldn't not do so as a new business. But it was always with a sense of unease that we were contributing to a potentially harmful environment. Therefore, we have decided to sign off from Instagram and will not engage with any social media until we can find a platform created with its users and communities in mind - to foster learning, understanding and acceptance. This is a very personal decision and in no way a critique of our suppliers, fellow wool shops, customers and artists who continue to have positive engagements on Instagram
