It’s hard to believe we are halfway through the year already. We had 7 beautiful new colours in Mosaic Baby DK arrive this month, and wanted to celebrate with our theme for July. We asked to see all of your wonderful creations for any new arrivals or little ones in your life. Anything from toys, blankets, jumpers, or lovies.

#MarrinerWeather winner

June was the first month of summer, and the weather certainly didn’t disappoint. The high temps and blue skies were the perfect backdrop for our #MarrinerWeather June competition.

We asked to see all of the weather-themed creations you have been working on – whether that was a knitted scenic panel or a bunch of sunny sunflowers.

Without further ado…

We were thrilled at the arrival of the Marriner lambs a few months ago, but one of the little ones didn’t have a very strong start with the rest of the flock.

  

Simone the lamb was suffering from Joint-ill, an infection that affects the joints of lambs, causing swelling and difficulty standing or walking. Monty the lab took to the little guy immediately and became his protector after we brought him inside to help with his recovery.

A few weeks ago, our ladies of the Marriner Flock were paid a visit for their routine scan.

Chris stopped by the Marriner Farm and saw every single ewe to determine how many lambs she may be carrying.

Depending on the number of lambs the ewes are carrying, they…

The flock are embracing their winter coats as the weather has changed recently – but no snow here quite yet.

However, there’s no time for a haircut at the moment! It’s busy busy busy at the Marriner Farm. All of the ewes have been separated according to the number of lambs they are carrying, so we can ensure they are all getting enough food and shelter to grow happy and healthy little lambs.

Even the rams have been on the move – relocated to pastures new to give the ladies the room (and…

January is a long old month, not helped by the gloomy weather and distinctly gloomy, post-Christmas mood. We always like to try and combat that with our January theme – which is…
