West Yorkshire Spinners is a yarn company in the UK focused on producing high quality yarns from British wool, and revitalizing the textile industry in their home of Yorkshire.
Signature 4ply is their self-patterning sock yarn, composed of machine-washable bluefaced leicester wool and nylon, for strength. These colorful skeins are dyed in such a way that the yarn creates a color pattern when you knit it in a small width or circumference, such as a scarf, pair of socks or mitts. No matter what stitch pattern you use, stripes or colorwork comes out as you knit, entertaining you as you knit or crochet even the simplest of projects.
Above are the “Ember Crochet Socks,” by Anna Nikipirowicz, made with the Signature Sparkle 4ply, a metallic version of the same yarn that comes in a few limited edition holiday colorways. They’re going fast, just a handful of skeins left!
Above is a knit version in the same colorway – “Noëlle Knitted Socks,” by Winwick Mum. What else to make with Signature 4ply? Winwick Mum also designed “Basic 4ply Knee High Socks” and “Basic 4ply Children’s Socks” for this yarn, and there’s always Ysolda Teague’s popular “Musselburgh” hat.
