This blog post is a project gallery for Brimham High Twist - my gently textured hand dyed superwash extrafine merino/nylon high twist yarn. It's a 4ply thickness with 100g/370m and it substitutes really well into patterns calling for 4ply/fingering weight yarn. It is available HERE.
Although there are currently 70 projects listed for this yarn on Ravelry (which I won't link to), I only have a few which I've got pics of, so I need to rectify that! I do have this yarn in a number of projects where it's alongside a number of other yarns so will share those below too. If you have a project made in this yarn that you would like adding to this gallery please send me high resolution pics plus any project notes to info@ edencottageyarns.co.uk and I will add them.

Boxy by Joji Locatelli
These three jumpers used 1 x 100g skein per colour (five for the body and one for the sleeves) and they are based on Joji's Boxy pattern but with stripes. You need to know what your row gauge is going to be to work out how deep you want your stripes to be if you want to make them all the same depth. The reason I've made three of these already is because it's a brilliant way to test out which yarns play well together and how they'll behave in a garment; plus it's a cool way to mix and match colours, using just one skein of each.
- pattern available on Ravelry and on Joji's website HERE (you could also use The Easy One which is also on her website)
Blue Boxy:
The Brimham High Twist is the second stripe down (grey with black speckles)
Pink Boxy:
The Brimham High Twist is the top stripe (variegated dark pink)
Autumn Boxy:
The Brimham High Twist is the sleeves and the third stripe down (across the bust)
You can see the texture a bit better below. This is a great yarn for sleeves as it's very hardwearing!
I hope this has inspired you!
