#MarrinerMiniMakes winner

Time to embrace the new, fresh feeling of spring and have a bit of fun in making mini projects. We know that lots of you love amigurumi and we love to see the inventive ways you create teeny tiny items – whether that’s baby clothing, toys, decorations, dolls or anything else suitably small!

#MarrinerwithWool winner

Still in the full flow of winter, we saw some seriously cold snaps – and even a fair bit of snow – in February. The days are still a bit dark and there’s no nicer feeling than snuggling up with something cosier in the cold winter months. That is why we asked to see all of your extra cosy makes that you have made with one of our wool blend yarns to keep you extra warm!

Marriner Flock | 12 week lamb scan…

Good news – after getting friendly with our rams Baarney and Hercules in November, our ladies were scanned this week to find out how many baby lambs will be joining us in spring. Just like humans, ewes are scanned around the 10/12 week point to find out the number of lambs they carry.

The vet uses an ultrasound scanner to determine how many lambs each ewe is carrying to then mark the sheep’s back with a specific colour.

Watch our video below where Rhos explains how the coloured dots indicate how many lambs…

January is usually a long and gloomy month. Christmas is over and the weather is terrible. The days are dark and spring feels like a very long way off. BUT January is…

Our ladies are now getting ready for winter and that also means they are getting ready to be mums. We will hopefully see the arrival of some gorgeous little lambs come March and April and our flock is currently being looked after in preparation to carry their little ones for a few months. One of the ways we prepare for this is to shear them.

A few weeks ago, all of our sheep went for a visit to the hairdresser and are now looking considerably less fluffy…

Our customers are some of the most talented and creative people we have the pleasure of dealing with. Each day they surprise us with their knitting and crochet makes – conjuring everything from huge blankets, cute amigurumi, beautiful cardigans and cosy scarves with their own hooks or needles.

As it’s approaching our favourite, festive time of year, we couldn’t let it go by without asking our customers if we could show off some of their own little Christmas creations that we think everyone would enjoy making in the run up to the big day.
