Here's a gallery of patterns which call for my hand dyed Oakworth 4ply yarn.
Oakworth 4ply (100g/400m) is superwash Powarth wool, which is woollier than merino but not as woolly as Bluefaced Leicester. It's a smooth and hardwearing yarn with a slight sheen to it. It's also incredibly versatile - you can use it for pure wool socks just as well as lacy shawls and colourwork jumpers.
Just FYI - there are no links to Ravelry here.
Do you have a pattern using Oakworth 4ply which you would like me to include in this gallery? Email me at info@edencottageyarns.co.uk with an image and the pattern information and I will add it.

(C1: The lightest (or darkest) colour
C4: The darkest (or lightest) colour
C2: A midway point between C1 and C4

- We have yarn packs for this jumper - Oakworth 4ply ones depend on hand dyed yarn stock, but we also have Milburn 4ply ones. You can see them all HERE.
