Pattern Inspiration

Following on from the fantastic response we've had to Drift (thankyou for all the lovely emails and comments), I thought I would introduce and feature each piece individually and show you more of the photography of each one. The lookbook contains a lot of the photography in one place too. Before I go on, I'll just say that Cloudburst is available as a single print pattern on the ECY website, the ebook is available on Ravelry, and the lovely print book will be available on the ECY website from Sunday the 11th of October (alongside our huge post-Yarndale update). Pre-orders...

...a collection curated by Eden Cottage Yarns. Today is an exciting day my friends, for we can finally unleash upon you our lovely new Drift collection. After around ten months of work, photoshoots weekend after weekend, an awful lot of test knitting and crocheting, and a vast amount of editing on Clare Devine's part, we are happy to set it free! Let me just tell you that you can see the full collection, with all the photos including 'on location' at most of the photoshoots, in our lookbook. You can also see, queue, favourite, and cast on all of the...

And the patterns include both accessories and garments - including a kid's garment.. We *should* also be releasing Whitfell DK in Steel and Natural alongside the collection (if...

Trailing Ivy in Simply Knitting 135 – available to purchase from 19th June 2015 These gorgeous socks are designed by Clare Devine, and feature lovely rich cables. They're worked in DK, which I think is really cool - there aren't enough nice DK sock patterns about, and they work up so quickly and are great to wear. Clare says: "Inspired by the beautiful subtle green tones of Eden Cottage’s colourway Hyssop these socks feature a meandering cable detail that sweeps along the sock. This slightly unusual cable has reverse stocking stitch sections, highlighted by the superb stitch definition of Eden...

For those who haven't seen it yet, Dubonnet is Thea Colman's latest cardigan release, and it uses ECY Oakworth DK (superwash Polwarth wool). Thea's original sample is shown in colourway Coppice, with the pockets in Falling Leaves.    I hadn't had time to schedule in extra dyeing for the release date, so we ran pre-orders on ten batches of Oakworth DK - there is still some yarn available right now HERE.    And for US customers, you can pre-order Oakworth DK (or order from their current stock) from Yarn Culture, which I am in the middle of dyeing right now....
