Kerry Lord is excited
about the new
season and everything
it brings, from baby
alpacas to new
TOFT collections!
KERRY’S
JOURNAL
after several months of carefully developing
this sophisticated colour, along with a series
of new knit and crochet projects, including
garments, accessories, and snuggly hats.
Of course, no crochet hat would be
complete without a matching pompom and
with the launch of the sapphire shade also
comes the arrival of our much-loved alpaca
pompoms in this matching fabulous new
colour. We look forward to seeing what you
make with them!With snowdrops popping up all over the
farm, it’s starting to feel a lot like spring here
at TOFT HQ. We’re starting to look forward to
getting ready for our irst cria (baby alpacas)
to be born in a few months’ time! As well
as the changes around us, the new season
heralds a new issue of our TOFT Quarterly
magazine, and this one is really special. It
marks the launch of a brand-new colour to
our range of DK wool, which is always an
exciting and slightly nailbiting thing for me.
New blue
Sapphire is a deep navy that sits alongside
our two other new gem-inspired shades
of ruby and amethyst that were launched
right at the start of the year. The rich blue
tones really come to life in natural light
and perfectly complement our existing
range of neutral-coloured wools! I’m so
pleased that we can start introducing these
complementary colours to our neutral range.
This new permanent addition to the TOFT
range brings our double-knit colour
spectrum up to a healthy 22 shades over the
natural and bright ranges. We are excited
to be able to share this new shade with you
Easter time
Easter will be along before we know it, and
with that I’ll be turning my crochet hook to
lots of birds! It’s that time of year when I
can never get enough of a crocheted bird
and our collection of #edsanimals make
charming alternative gifts to chocolate. If you
don’t have time to make a full bird though,
our egg toppers are super cute and quick to
make! Have a go at my Hen Egg Topper for a
fun project this Easter.Sapphire is the new
addition to TOFT DK
