Ewe Ewe Wooly Worsted<\/a> has become a staple here at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop, admired for its softness, easy-care, and steadily growing selection of solid colors. Ewe Ewe’s pattern support covers a range of projects, from baby blankets to small accessories to adult sweaters, a variety of garments that show the versatility of this plush yarn. Last week, we received a large box from Ewe Ewe, nearly doubling our inventory of the stuff, and bringing every missing color back to this basket.<\/p>\n

Anne and I have used Ewe Ewe Wooly Worsted for two shop samples. Anne made two “Boston Whaler”<\/a> hats with just two skeins of Wooly Worsted, inverting the colorway for the second hat. The pink-on-indigo version stayed here at the shop, while the indigo-on-pink hat went to her granddaughter, of course.<\/p>\n

Now that Ewe Ewe comes in 20 colors, there are plenty more color combinations to play with, which of course is what I found myself doing as Rosi and I unpacked the yarn.<\/p>\n

Ewe Ewe has lots of other patterns that call for two colors or more, including the “Easy as ABC Top-Down Raglan Baby Sweater,”<\/a> the “Layer Cake Cowl,”<\/a> and the newly released “Fireside Wristlets,”<\/a> a free pattern for simple ribbed mitts. If you’re not in the market for a baby hat, but you still want to play the Ewe Ewe color-combining game, consider these!<\/p>\n

Our second Ewe Ewe Wooly Worsted sample is the “Wearever Wrap,”<\/a> a colorful triangular shawl that I crocheted in just a few afternoons at the shop. When I saw the sample “Wearever Wrap” at market in June, I knew I’d like to make one for the shop, and selecting six colors was half the fun.<\/p>\n

I used an H hook (5 mm), which was smaller than recommended in the pattern, and still it blocked out to a nice, generous size.<\/p>\n
