Hello from ECY Shedquarters! Monday is our last public holiday for a little while. As nice as it is to have long weekends it is quite disruptive. So as a thank you for your patience with us through May we are offering a sitewide 10% discount until the end of Monday. You don’t have to enter a code, just add the products to your cart and the discount will be applied automatically. We will be closed on Monday 29th May and so orders will be processed after we get back to work on Tuesday 30th May and shipped the day after.

We have added two new blog posts this week. First is an interview with Hanna Gough of Germander Cottage Crafts. Hanna is a wonderful knit and crochet designer and we wanted to find out a bit more about her. You can find the interview in the Interviews section of our blog. This is actually perfectly timed as Hanna has a new pattern being released today. Flock Socks are made using Oakworth 4ply and feature a dutch/square heel and memorable stitch repeats. The pattern is worked from the cuff down, with a grafted toe and is written in three sizes. You can find Oakworth 4ply on our website and the pattern on Hanna’s website. Hanna will also be hosting a CAL for her upcoming design, the Beyond cardigan. Beyond is a simple cardigan which is ideal for people wanting to start making crochet garments. The sample uses Keld Aran and it is stunning. You can find information about the CAL on Hanna’s website as well as on her Instagram.

The second new post on the blog is a Projects and Patterns post for Tempo 4ply, our original sock yarn. There are lots of fantastic ideas of how to use this great yarn and it has come at a great time as we have a big Tempo 4ply update in progress at the moment. So take a look and get planning your new projects ready for when the yarn goes live. You can find the post on our Yarn Specific Blog Posts Index along with all our other yarn specific blogs. These are a great resource if you would like to know more about a specific yarn or to find inspiration for how to use certain yarns.

There is also a new edition of The Wholly Irregular ECY Shedcast up on YouTube so please do go and check that out as well. I’ve tried to make sure this one is brief so it won’t take too long out of your day!

Following on from our Oakworth 4ply update we have restocked our Echoing Green shawl kits. Echoing Green is a two colour semicircular shawl, by Jaya of Apoorva Designs, knit using Oakworth 4ply in two shades of green. The design was part of the Four Seasons collection by Jaya which was inspired by classic poetry, with each poem and design embodying the spirit of a season. You can find all four patterns on our website, individually and as a bundle, alongside add-on kits and, when the yarns are available, we also have full kits.

Huacachina is an oasis in the middle of one of the driest deserts in the world. This small Peruvian lagoon is surrounded by bars and clubs, and has increasingly become a launch point for adventurous sandboarders!

This fun three-color shawl takes a traditional half-pi shape and adds in short row elements to stretch the shawl in a wavy and undulating fashion, not unlike the many mirages you see when visiting Huacachina.

Choose any two funky colored fingering weight skeins, and one skein of your favorite mohair and get knitting! If mohair isn’t your style, just grab about half a skein of another fingering weight yarn of your choice!

For my sample, I used Superstition by Forbidden Fiber Co in Electric and Jewelry Boss, and Fairytale by Happiness Yarn Co in Blaze.

Sedona Sunrise is my absolute favorite shawl. I was inspired to design this shawl after a girls trip to Sedona, Arizona, that I took with my college roommates to escape our busy lives and reconnect for a few days. We stayed on a horse ranch and hiked to our heart’s content. Now, almost a decade later (after not seeing each other for about five years — aren’t adult friendships interesting?), we will be meeting up again next weekend to celebrate a wedding. With two young kids, I almost never get a chance to travel solo — needless to say, I can’t wait for a mini adventure!

This beautiful, oversized, three-color wrap reminds me of the gorgeous sunrises that awaited us every morning in Sedona.

The shawl is worked from the center out, and mosaic work makes the complicated easy — only one color is worked at a time! Happy knitting!

The pattern has written instructions for the garter stitch sections and has charted instructions for the mosaic sections, and there is a schematic to help guide the knitter. The pattern is available in both English and German.

Greetings Yarnians!

I’m excited to finally announce the upcoming release of Crafter Gamer Geek’s first self-striping shawl colorway, Founder of Shadows! This new colorway, inspired by the character Hyde from the mobile game Dislyte, is dyed on a fingering-weight base of 80% Superwash Merino wool & 20% nylon. Each skein is a whopping 650 yards!

Founder of Shadows features a palindromic color layout made up of five colors: three shades of purple, a vibrant aqua, and a golden bronze. In case five colors just isn’t enough for you, you’re in luck! A semisolid coordinate charcoal gray colorway named Tartarus will also be available. This coordinate will be offered in 200yd skeins.

The news doesn’t stop there! I’ve partnered with Melinda of rhyFlower Knits for this release and she has designed a fantastic new shawl pattern to showcase Founder of Shadows. Melinda’s pattern, Requiem of Stillness, is a top-down triangular shawl that features an easy-to-remember two-row brioche motif that allows you to go patternless before you know it! The pattern allows you to make use of the Tartarus coordinate to finish with a small lace border. If lace just isn’t your vibe, the pattern also includes the option to finish with a simple stretchy bind-off. (All sample shawl photos provided by rhyFlower Knits.)

Mark your calendars! Founder of Shadows, Tartarus, and Requiem of Stillness will all be releasing on Wednesday, May 10th. Melinda’s pattern will be available via her website, and will also be available on Ravelry. The new self-striping colorway and its semisolid coordinate will both be available exclusively in the Crafter Gamer Geek shop, and live events as inventory allows.

Happy Stitching!

Hello from ECY Shedquarters! Today is a yarn pack news extravaganza, but before I get into that I have important information about holidays during May. Here in England we have three (yes THREE) public holidays in May. This means we will be closed on Monday 1st May, Monday 8th May and Monday 29th May and so we will not be processing orders or answering emails on these days, plus Royal Mail will have delays during this time. In addition to this we will also be closed on Friday 19th and Monday 22nd May. Please take this into consideration when ordering in May as it may take longer than normal for you to receive your orders.

We know it can be dauting choosing colour combinations and so we like to help you out with our suggestions. Yarn packs are also cheaper than buying the individual yarns separately. With so much choice available in the recent mini skein update we have put together a number of mini skein bundles. There are sets of three, four, five and seven minis so check those out if you have projects needing those quantities. We also still have Rainbow sets and sparkly Fade Sets available. There is a mini skein collection on the homepage of the website which also includes a mini skein lucky dip listing with options for five, ten, twelve and twenty four minis!

As promised we have been adding more Milburn 4ply options for the Kismet yarn packs to the website, you can find a link to this collection in the main Yarn menu. There are more to come but with all the sizing options they take a little while to set up. Oakworth 4ply packs for this design have been slightly delayed and will now be released next week. Kismet by Rachel Illsley of Unwind Knitwear is a stunning colourwork design featuring small repeats of pattern to give a striking finish. The sweater uses four colours, three colours in a vague fade with the final colour as a contrasting pop. The pattern is available on Payhip. Our yarn packs have size options that correspond with the sizing in the pattern from XS to 5XL to 83 to 157cm / 33.25 to 62.75 inches, with recommended positive ease of 7.5 to 25cm / 3 to 10 inches at the chest circumference.

Janie Crow’s Magic Circles scarf has had a revamp to account for the discontinued Autumn Fields, this has been replaced in the pattern with Dusk and we have added this as a new choice on our website. Jane has very kindly allowed us to use her images of the new sample and you can see those below. You can choose between buying the Yarn Pack Only if you already have the pattern, or the Yarn Pack & Pattern if you don’t. We now have SIX palette options on the website: the new Dusk palette, Claire’s Autumn Woodland palette, the original palette with either Black Tulip or Compost in place of Autumn Fields and our Version Two which has Black Tulip and Rain or Compost and Natural in place of Autumn Fields and Althaea. Find all Magic Circles listings through the link in the main Yarn menu.

While we are talking about Janie Crow, you may have seen her Earth Day post on Instagram which featured a granny square inspired by a beautiful landscape, the image of the granny square has been used with Jane’s permission. The yarns used in that square were Milburn DK in Thyme, Althaea, Dusk, Compost, Natural and Black Tulip. They work so well together that we obviously had to create yarn packs for the combination. You can choose from MIlburn DK or Milburn 4ply and also between 300g (one ball of each colour) or 600g (two balls of each colour). Find these on the website HERE.

I am photographing this yarn today (Thursday) and will get it live on the website as soon as possible. Pendle Sport is our only sportweight yarn and is 100% Superwash extrafine Merino yarn. If you have used any of our Pendle yarns before you will know how soft and bouncy this yarn is. Our testers did a great job with their products and let us know that it is ideal for both garments and accessories. It has great stitch definition making it ideal for cables and also has lovely drape. We will be releasing a blog post with more information about this yarn in the next week or so. When the yarn goes live it will be on the home page of the website and through the Yarn menu.

We have lots of news for you today so I will get straight on with it. First up we have changed the free pattern for new subscribers to the ECY mailing list to Collingham Mitts. These elbow length fingerless mitts are the perfect antidote for cold arms. They’re great for wearing with short-sleeved tops when the weather turns, and work just as well under long-sleeved tops/jackets. Wear them fully stretched or cosily squooshed around the wrists; they work just as well either way. They can also easily be made in one colour — they require approximately 60g of yarn in total. The original sample was made using several colours of Milburn 4ply but they would also be great in mini skeins, Yarnlings or a single colour. Sign up to our newsletter HERE.

We have two exciting patterns to tell you about. First up is Kismet by Rachel Illsley of Unwind Knitwear. This stunning colourwork design is the fifth design of Rachel’s Ffrench Collection and was inspired by small repeating patterns of music interpreted through the use of both pattern and colour. The sweater uses four colours, three colours in a vague fade with the final colour as a contrasting pop. The original sample uses our Oakworth 4ply in Driftwood with three yarns from other dyers. We have Oakworth 4ply yarn packs in four seasonal colour options coming very soon but if you don’t want to wait we also have lots of Milburn 4ply yarn packs to choose from. The packs have size options that correspond with the sizing in the pattern from XS to 5XL to 83 to 157cm / 33.25 to 62.75 inches, with recommended positive ease of 7.5 to 25cm / 3 to 10 inches at the chest circumference.

Speaking of Oakworth 4ply, Kismet yarn packs are part of a larger update of this yarn which is in progress and will be ready by the end of the month!

The second new pattern release is Liath-Reòthadh from Liz Corke, a simple but fun cowlette. Liath-Reòthadh means Hoar Frost in Scottish Gaelic and the pattern is available on Liz’s website. It is knit from the top down like a triangular shawl and joined in the round before the lace pattern starts, featuring leaf patterns and little arrows. This design uses one skein of Titus Fingering in Steel which is not currently available but we do have lots of Titus 4ply available on the website and Milburn 4ply would also be a great substitution.

Following on from our recent mini skein update we now have a selection of mini skein bundles available on the website. These are ideal if you need a number of colours but don’t know where to start in selecting a combination. We also now have Mini Skein Lucky Dip Bundles in five, 10, 12 and 24 minis so you can choose the number needed for your project. If you have any specific requests in the lucky dip products add them to your order notes and we will do our best to honour them from the available stock.
