Happy birthday!
I have just one skein of your yarn left – it’s waiting to be woven – I bought it (& a couple more) at the first Edinburgh Yarn Festival so £50 to spend on your yarn would be fantastic!

Happy Birthday dear Skein Queen!
I first discovered you at Farnham several years ago and loved your yarns on sight, what has kept me coming back is your warm and friendly approach and the fact that you always recognised me at other shows and had a little chat, I really appreciated that!
Have a wonderful celebration!
Karen on June 07 2016 at 12:30PM

I’ve only been a SQ fan for the last nine months or so, but you’ve instantly jumped into my top favourite dyers. Keep doing what you do – it’s amazing!
Meg on June 07 2016 at 11:24AM
Congratulations! And here’s to another nine. You’re my favourite dyer of exquisite treat yarns. I’ll be cacting on the Talavera top in a stunning antique rose shade today in your honour!

I bought 3 skeins of yarn from Skein Queen at the first EdinYarnFest in shades of green/turquoise, one each of 4ply, lace and cobweb, and wove myself a beautiful hand woven scarf. The different weights of yarn give it texture.
Rae on June 07 2016 at 11:10AM
Happy birthday, SQ! Here’s to many more years of colour, beauty, fibre and joy.
