Purl & Jane Oswald Cardigan
£4.50
Oswald Cardigan - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
This cardigan is another Purl &Jane Studio request – this is one is where I have designed a child’s cable cardigan and I had lots of requests for an adult version…with pockets! I love a cable hand knit, they are timeless. This one is a very simple one to knit. I design my cables so they work together which means after a few repeats the knitter can just sit back and get into a rhythm of soothing stitches.

Purl & Jane Lily Scarf
£4.50
Lily Scarf - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
This was one of the most loved patterns when I launched them at my local yarn show, Yarndale in 2019, so much so that I had sold out of them by lunchtime on Saturday! However because my printers are local and so very kind they printed some more and delivered them so I had more by the afternoon and nearly sold out of them again by the end of the weekend!
At the end of a busy day, I like to sit down and switch off for half an hour or an hour or so, which is not so easy to do with things buzzing around your head. Garter stitch is a good start to soothing those thoughts and calming the mind. I played around with many designs for the edges and they all looked good but they weren’t all fulfilling my desire for a simple pattern to switch off and relax with, a pattern that has a simple repeat but also looks classic and so I just kept making it more and more simple until Lily was the perfect pattern! I wore the Lily Scarf I had knitted over the Yarndale weekend and it’s so light you don’t notice that you have it on…until you take it off and feel the chill from the air on the back of your neck. It keeps you warm without you even knowing it!

West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Shetland Double Knitting Collection One
£13.50
The Croft Shetland Double Knitting Collection One - Sarah Hatton and Rosee Woodland
Due to the overwhelming popularity of The Croft, West Yorkshire Spinners' much-loved100% Shetland wool range is now available in DK weight.
Designed by Sarah Hatton and Rosee Woodland, this collection of women's and men's knitwear features modern colourwork, graphic textures and interesting cables; perfect for layering through the ever-changing seasons.
From Sarah Hatton. The introduction of a DK weight in The Croft range was a wonderful opportunity to work with this beautiful yarn. I was lucky enough to work alongside the talented Rosee Woodland who has made great use of the colour range with some stunning colourwork designs. The yarn shows texture incredibly well which allowed me to include some cables in the collection, as well as simple pieces for a relaxing knit. We have included something to appeal to knitters of all skill levels.
From Rosee Woodland. Shetland yarn has long been a favourite of mine so I was delighted to see The Croft DK join the West Yorkshire Spinners range. My designs were inspired by the rugged North Sea coastline - from the coils of thick ropes seen on the foreshore, to the prows of fishing boats and of course the wild waters themselves. Working with Sarah Hatton on this collection was also a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with an old friend, whose beautiful designs I have always admired.

Pom Pom Publishing Knits About Winter
£21.50
Knits About Winter by Emily Foden
Knits About Winter celebrates the quiet magic of a snowy landscape, the meditative joy of creating cosy knits, and the beauty of unique yarn. A collection of 12 knitting patterns by Emily Foden, these designs capture the magic and mystery of winter, all featuring her distinctive hand-dyed yarns.
Emily moved to the small hamlet of Mooresburg, Canada, to set up her home and dye studio in a 100 year-old general store. In her remote location, winter meant layers of snow and ice, transforming the wild landscape into a sparkling blank canvas that became a valuable source of inspiration. Each pattern draws details from this wintry landscape: soft shapes in the snow, the moon in an icy midnight sky, the delicate evergreen berries. With careful consideration of practical design details that make these knits functional for the coldest of days, Knits About Winter features hats, mittens, socks, shawls, and four garments.
Also included are Emily’s charming stories of setting up her dye studio, as well as how she developed her colourways and the designs for the book. Photographed by the author during a snowy Mooresburg winter, each image is a peek into the sceney and spaces that were integral to the book.
Knits About Winter is book to a treasure, and in the colder months will encourage you find the beauty and colour in the darkest season, evoking the warm glow that only beautiful knits can.
