Pendle 4ply: Projects and Patterns using this buttery soft merino yarn

This blog post is designed as a useful resource for inspiration for a specific yarn: Pendle 4ply (100% superwash extrafine merino - 100g/400m). 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.  Pendle 4ply is a gorgeous, smooshy, soft, bouncy, and smooth superwash merino yarn which has great stitch definition....

Introducing Pendle Sport - our first sport weight yarn in extrafine merino

Pendle Sport is the same super soft and bouncy extrafine merino found in our other Pendle yarns. It is robustly structured but also has some drape (depending on the gauge it's used at), and is lovely and soft and smooth. Our yarn testers found that as a sport weight yarn this can also be substituted in for 4ply/fingering weight yarns assuming you can make gauge. It has great stitch definition and works beautifully for cables.

Introducing Brimham Bio Fingering: a light fingering weight yarn made with biodegradeable nylon!

Here at ECY Shedquarters we have always had a major focus on sustainability which we wrote about back in 2018 HERE. One thing that we have debated over time is including yarns containing nylon in our range. On the one hand many of us are trying to reduce the man made fibres we use, but the addition of nylon to wool yarns will increase the longevity of handmade items meaning that arguably we will have to replace them less often.  When one of our suppliers let us know they had a yarn with biodegradebale nylon we were intrigued and had to see it for...
