Baa Ram Ewe’s new yarn has arrived! Meet Dovestone DK.<\/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’s a nice big 100 gram hank with 252 yards, plenty for a hat, pair of mitts, or\u00a0small cowl.<\/p>\n

The masham is naturally dark brown, and just as in Fibre Company Cumbria<\/a> and Swans Island All American Worsted<\/a>, the light and dark fibers combine to create a gray base over which all the other colorways are dyed. It complicates the colors in a pleasing way, adding depth and a slight heathered quality.<\/p>\n

Baa Ram Ewe has released some simple accessory patterns for Dovestone DK, showing how nicely it behaves in stripes and stranded colorwork, along with lace and crochet.<\/p>\n

They also enlisted the help of designer Carol Feller, whose new booklet Dovestone Hills<\/em> is named for the yarn used within.<\/p>\n

Myself, I’ve been anxious to use Dovestone DK for an “Epistrophy”<\/a> cardigan, from Kate Davies’ Yokes.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0We saw one hanging in the Baa Ram Ewe booth at market<\/a> and I’ve been smitten ever since.<\/p>\n
