Hayton 4ply: Projects and Patterns using our merino, cashmere, nylon blend

It occurred to us that it might be really useful to have an ECY way to browse patterns and projects made using specific yarns, for inspiration and ideas. It's one of those things where once you think of it it seems blatantly obvious 🙈🤣  Just FYI - there are no links to Ravelry here. We've linked to patterns and projects that are available to purchase/view elsewhere.  Hayton 4ply is a beautiful mix of smooth, bouncy merino, a little nylon to make it more hard wearing, and a dash of cashmere for the ultimate luxury. This three-fold yarn spun to a 4ply...

Kismet Cowl by Rachel Illsley - a colourwork DK weight cowl from Rachel Illsley

Earlier this year we were very excited about the Kismet sweater by Rachel Illsley of Unwind Knitwear as it included our yarn, which is such an honour. Kismet is a colourwork sweater using four colours and small intricate patterns inspired by composer Alexis Ffrench. You can find the pattern for it sweater HERE. The sweater used Oakworth 4ply in Driftwood with three other 4ply/fingering weight yarns and so naturally we created yarn packs for it which you can find HERE. Our Oakworth 4ply yarn packs sold out but Milburn 4ply packs are still available now. This set is the closest colour match...

If they're only available on Ravelry we will say that, but not link to it.    The first part of this blog post will give you patterns that specifically call for Titus Lace and the second part shows you our projects using this yarn....

What can I make with a 4ply/Fingering Five Skein Fade Set?

Have you seen a pack of five skeins in a fade set and been tempted but don't know what to use them for? Well look no further... here's some pattern inspiration for you!   Fading Point by Joji Locatelli  The original pattern that inspired us to make five skein fade sets in the first place!     Starting Point by Joji Locatelli The precursor to Fading Point. This might not be as obvious with how to use a fade set but could look very striking. It is only available on Ravelry at the moment. Here's how it looks with five colours (but not a fade):...


Project ideas for DK Yarnlings™

Project ideas for DK Yarnlings™

As well as our 4ply Yarnlings we have DK ones too. These are 10g balls of yarn as we thought that doing 5g of DK seemed too small to be worth it. That means they have approximately 22m in each one - that will vary according to the yarn base though.  Here are some ideas as to what to do with them (aside from just keep them looking cute in a jar)...   Quadratic by David O'Kelly  (Knitting) The original Yarnling project!! This pattern is written for both 4ply and DK yarns. It is a simple squishy triangular shawl pattern...
