Working on new outdoor trimmings

It's very rare when a new yarn comes along and you get the chance to work with it.

Bella Dura is developed in the USA and can absorb a huge amount of sunlight without fading. It is also mold resistant and unbelievably, can even be washed with bleach making it prefect for outdoor use.

When everyone else is scurrying around to bring their garden cushions indoors when it rains, if your cushions are made with Bella Dura you don't have to bother!

Produced in England on narrow gauge weaving and knitting machines, the modern factory has a huge range of different machine types to weave almost any pattern. 

These weights caught my eye, and are what weavers use to add extra weight in many of the processes.
