Titus Lace: projects and patterns using this classic merino/silk blend
This blog post is designed as a useful resource for inspiration for a specific yarn. There are projects that use it, and patterns that call for it. It's so handy to have all this in one place! Just FYI - there are no links to Ravelry here. We've linked to patterns and projects that are available to purchase/view elsewhere. 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):...
Hencliffe revisited: a re-release of our large lacy wrap pattern
Initially released in 2014, Hencliffe is a large rectangular lace wrap. The lace pattern is similar to that found in Victoria's Willow designs (shawl, hat and mitts) and gives a lightweight fabric with beautiful drape. Hencliffe is perfect for snuggling up in or draping around your shoulders for an elegant cover up. The pattern previously used our mill dyed Askham 4ply in Blossom but has now been reissued calling for Titus 4ply in Whispering Grass. The silk content of the Titus 4ply adds a bit of shine making this project feel really special. You will need 200g/800m/872yds (usually two skeins) of a 4ply/fingering weight yarn...

Magic Circles: a beautiful crochet scarf by Janie Crow
Initially released late in 2019, Magic Circles Scarf is a beautiful scarf (it's called that but we'd describe it as a wrap tbh!) design from Janie Crow. She had previously released Magic Circles as a blanket but then saw the Milburn DK range and was inspired to make a scarf design using the same motif. Introduction by Jane: “I love looking at how shapes fit together and have wanted to create a tessellating circle design for some time. Circular motifs can be tricky to fit together and it is common to find the circular shape becomes slightly distorted when motifs are...

Introducing: The Shawl Project Book 5 from The Crochet Project, featuring laceweight yarn!
The latest book from Joanne and Kat of The Crochet Project has arrived. Book 5 is a bit different from those that have come before as it features designs using laceweight yarn.

This book combines the great design you would expect from Joanne and Kat along with the delicate elegance created with laceweight yarn. Find it on the website HERE. All five designs are pitched at intermediate crochet skill level but the Love Triangles Shawl can be adjusted to...
