Free pattern: Crocheted Flowers
Find the pattern below for these sweet little flowers. The pattern isn't tested and should be simple, but do let me know if you think there's an error. If you struggle to know which stitches are which try putting a lightbulb pin in the second treble of each 3tr on round 2 to mark the centre of each petal. This will help to make sure that you get the stitches in the right places on round 3. This is a simple little pattern but it still took me ages (I spent way too long on it tbh!) of making up...
Hayton 4ply: Projects and Patterns using our merino, cashmere, nylon blend
It occurred to us that it might be really useful to have an ECY way to browse patterns and projects made using specific yarns, for inspiration and ideas. It's one of those things where once you think of it it seems blatantly obvious 🙈🤣 Just FYI - there are no links to Ravelry here. We've linked to patterns and projects that are available to purchase/view elsewhere. Hayton 4ply is a beautiful mix of smooth, bouncy merino, a little nylon to make it more hard wearing, and a dash of cashmere for the ultimate luxury. This three-fold yarn spun to a 4ply...

Kismet Cowl by Rachel Illsley - a colourwork DK weight cowl from Rachel Illsley
Earlier this year we were very excited about the Kismet sweater by Rachel Illsley of Unwind Knitwear as it included our yarn, which is such an honour. Kismet is a colourwork sweater using four colours and small intricate patterns inspired by composer Alexis Ffrench. You can find the pattern for it sweater HERE. The sweater used Oakworth 4ply in Driftwood with three other 4ply/fingering weight yarns and so naturally we created yarn packs for it which you can find HERE. Our Oakworth 4ply yarn packs sold out but Milburn 4ply packs are still available now. This set is the closest colour match...
Swainby Hat - a quick easy hat knit!
Ever since the release of the Swainby Cowl, I have had a matching hat design in my head. You might be surprised at how much work a seemingly simple hat design requires! It's taken lots of tweaking but we are finally all sorted I think. Where the Swainby Cowl was made for three fingering weight yarns, this hat has been designed with one skein of aran weight yarn in mind but you can of course use three fingering weight yarns held together for this project as well if you fancy it. This hat is a simple number which just has...

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....
