The folks at UK yarn company Baa Ram Ewe dreamed up three new colors for their Titus<\/a> and Dovestone DK<\/a> yarns, and I\u2019m happy to report that we now have them on our shelves here at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dovestone DK is a dk weight blend of\u00a050% bluefaced leicester, 25% masham, and 25% wensleydale wools, all sourced and spun in the UK. It\u2019s a nice big 100 gram hank with 252 yards, plenty for a hat, pair of mitts, or\u00a0small cowl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For pattern ideas, look to Carol Feller\u2019s Dovestone Hills<\/a><\/em> booklet, Kate Davies\u2019 Buachaille<\/a><\/em>, and our \u201cDK weight\u201d<\/a> board on Pinterest. I think Dovestone DK is a particularly good sweater yarn; I made an “Epistrophy”<\/a> cardigan with it\u00a0absolutely loved the combination of pattern and yarn. Also consider Isabel Kraemer’s “Ready for fall”<\/a> pullover, Churchmouse’s “Library Vest,”<\/a>\u00a0and tincanknits’ “Clayoquot”<\/a> pullover.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The two yarns take the dye differently, coming out heathered in Dovestone DK, but bright and clear in Titus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Titus is a fingering weight blend of 50%\u00a0wensleydale wool, 30% alpaca, and 20% bluefaced leicester wool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty of pattern inspiration for Titus to be found on our \u201cFingering weight\u201d<\/a> Pinterest board, of course, and we\u2019ve seen some beautiful Titus projects here on the blog over<\/a> the<\/a> years<\/a>.<\/p>\n
