We used West Yorkshire Spinners Re:treat to knit ours.  There are 11 shades now in the shop - including this marled blue and grey one.

If you like simple shapes and seamless knitting, I'd highly recommend checking out Elizabeth Smith's patterns.

Classic wool/nylon mix, this 4ply sock yarn comes in 100g balls. 

1 ball makes 1 pair of socks, or 2 pairs of short socks, or 2 short cowls. You could make 2 hats, or at least 2 pairs of small hand warmers, or several small gift bags or 20 small bunting flags!

 100g will also give you a decent length of scarf/shawl or a jumper for a baby.

Or how about mixing it up with our other sock yarns including Opal and Socks Yeah 4ply

new shop sample - Copenhagen Calling

close up photos on our Ravelry project page

Copenhagen Calling by Isabell Kraemer is a long cowl, combining rib, slip stitches and lace.

We've knitted ours in West Yorkshire Spinners Illustrious Naturals.  A DK yarn that has 70% Falkland wool and 30% British Alpaca.

It's very squishy and cosy!

Like the 3 Color Cashmere Cowl and Heart Warmer Cowl, this project features different stitches that keep it interesting to knit!

Yarn and pattern (through Ravelry) is available to buy in the shop.

new shop sample - Elspeth Cardigan

Elspeth is a simple round necked cardigan knitted in West Yorkshire Spinners Croft Tweed.

Croft is 100% machine washable Shetland wool.  Available in Tweed or Colour

We've used this yarn before in our Nightshift Shawl.  It has a lovely drape and feels much softer when knitted than it does on the hank.

Lots of pattern ideas in the shop! 

If you like the cardigan but want a different yarn... you could try 100% Icelandic wool Lett Lopi or our acrylic/wool blend Stylecraft Life.

Illustrious Naturals in the shop!

Illustrious Naturals 100g/225m/£10.95

Illustrious Naturals is from West Yorkshire Spinners.

We've got 5 shades blended from the natural fibres.

It's soft and woolly with a lovely bounce.

Our shop sample will be Copenhagen Calling by Isabell Kraemer, a double loop cowl.  It'll be in the shop soon!

Nightshift wrap in the shop!

New shop sample in West Yorkshire Spinners Croft yarn.

This aran thickness yarn comes in Tweed (multi coloured tweedy effect) and Colours (a solid colour).

It's 100% shetland wool. You can see the shades here and here!

The pattern is Nightshift by Andrea Mowry and you can buy it on Ravelry (and in the shop through Ravelry).

It's a large triangle shaped shawl - given the heavyweight yarn and the slip stitch effect this is a chunky shawl but with lots of drape.

You can see our notes on our Ravelry project page - including yarn usage and colour combos.  The pattern is a great stash buster and Andrea provides a 'recipe' for you to make up your own colour combos.
