September 2017 Yan Tan Tethera Subscription

Sign ups for the September 2017 Yan Tan Tethera Yarn Club are now open!

Our dyer for September is the wonderful Katie Pearce of Sylvan Tiger Yarn, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Katie is known for her use of natural dyes, often harvested from her own garden, which produce some fascinating colour combinations whilst being kind to the environment.

For the September Yan Tan Tethera Yarn Club, Katie will take her inspiration from the image, ‘Lucifer’, by Shutterspot Photography. The vibrant flower is a type of Crocosmia and the picture was taken on a summer’s evening at the beautiful Beaumont Park in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

All Yan Tan Tethera Yarn Club subscriptions are presented in a gift box tied with satin ribbon and will include a copy of the inspiration photograph and a little complimentary Yorkshire gift from Baa Baa Brighouse.
