Yarn Specific Blog Posts

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.

If they're only available on Ravelry we will say that, but not link to it.  Keld Fingering is a beautiful blend of superwash merino with linen. The linen stands out on medium-dark colours as it doesn't take the dye the same...

It occurred to us recently 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.  Titus 4ply is probably our best selling yarn and is a firm favourite with many of our customers.
