Today we launch our brand new yarn – Ooskit 4 ply!
Like Ooskit DK, this yarn is worsted-spun for us in Yorkshire from top-quality local fleeces.
To create this silvery grey shade, BFL and Masham fleeces have been expertly blended together to create a lovely, woolly, sheepy yarn.
Appropriately, the shade name is “siller”
At 220 metres to a 50g skein Ooskit 4 ply has a fabulous airy, springy hand combined with superb stitch definition. This makes it a great choice for shawls . . .
. . . like our Beamer pattern.
Kate designed Beamer a few years ago (for the Inkling collection) and it’s one of our all-time favourite shawls.
Featuring straightforward lace and top-down triangular shapes . . .
. . . it is a pattern in which Ooskit 4 ply makes the lace motif look really crisp . . .
. . . whilst also creating a fabric with a lovely drape and cosiness.
We thought club members might appreciate a wee treat, so we’ve added the Beamer pattern to your Ravelry libraries today.
This is not one of your regularly-scheduled club bonuses, but just a little additional something we thought you might enjoy.
This week is a particularly busy one for our Knitting Wester Ross club members: Along with our new yarn and Beamer, we also have our scheduled pattern release today – and a club bonus on Saturday – both which feature Ooskit 4-ply.
Ooskit 4 ply is now available to everyone in the KDD shop, where we also have Beamer kits in this new colourway…
We hope you love Ooskit 4 ply as much as we do. Keep a look out for our new club patterns today and tomorrow featuring this lovely new yarn.
