Yarn Specific Blog Posts

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.

We've linked to patterns and projects that are available to purchase/view elsewhere.  Titus Fingering is a beautiful luxury singles yarn which has that classic shine and lustre from the silk, but also has the structure and bounce of merino wool. It strikes us as primarily a garment...

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.  Carlisle Fingering is our superwash merino singles yarn and is soft, smooth, smooshy, and cloud-like. It knits/crochets into a soft, snuggly fabric with a little bit...
