I designed The Lace Knittery Great British Baby Blanket to be as useful as possible. It is cot size making it usable from the car seat to the pram, has an all over heart shaped lace pattern and has the moss stitch border knitted as you go. It is knitted in a lace weight yarn but would work in DK weight too.
The yarn used in the photo is a superwash blue faced leicester yarn…a British only breed! It is available from The Lace Knittery.
The Lace Knittery hand painted Boucle yarn is DK/sock weight.
A great yarn for adding instant interest or using not only in knitting or crochet but also in many other crafts. It makes great hair on dolls!
Each skein is 100g/100m. 89% kid mohair, 7% wool, 4% nylon.

The original yarn that The Lace Knittery started the company with. It is 70% kid mohair and 30% silk, lace weight and 420m per skein. It knits to the same gauge as Rowan Kidsilk Haze.
Each colour is hand painted at The Lace Knittery using an acid dye technique in small batches. The colours are all moments in time and I can take you to each and every spot that inspired the colour way.

At The Lace Knittery we hand paint and naturally dye our own range of yarns and fibre. All are natural fibres and traceable to source, ethically produced and in our dyeing processes do not use harsh chemicals.
The hand painted range is dyed by me at The Lace Knittery HQ in Somerset. Each skein has the colour applied by hand and pushed in inch by inch. This means an even colour, no gaps and a soft drift of colours across the skein.
They are washed several times to remove any excess dye.
They are all inspired by the world around me and the myth, magic and beauty of these British Isles.
Each skein is 100g 800m (enough to knit an entire wrap)
70% baby alpaca, 20% silk 10% cashmere.

I designed this The Lace Knittery pattern to make something cute, warm and wearable. It is also a great stash buster using only 10g of yarn. It has an allover lace pattern and can be worked using up to DK weight yarn.
I love this yarn it is one of my favourites to both dye and use. It is lace weight and is a mix of a British wool breed and silk. It has incredible lustre and drape. Blue Faced Leicester breed has a property like linen in that it gets softer with use and age. A single skein is enough for an entire wrap.
Each skein is 100g/800m. 55% blue faced Leicester wool, 45% silk. Lace weight.

I find inspiration everywhere and The Lace Knittery Lavender Fields Wrap was inspired by a holiday to the south of France. We had two small children in the back of the car and pulled off the autoroute and then stopped dead for two hours in a traffic jam. Within ten minutes we had exhausted I spy, and had been asked ‘are we there yet’ along with ‘I need a wee’, ‘she hit me’, ‘no she hit me’, ‘I’m hungry” and ‘are we there yet’…they only survived because I was looking over long lines of purple lavender with mountains beyond!
It is a lovely pattern that is eight rows. It has been worked in any weight yarn from lace to aran. The pattern is written for lace weight and if using up to DK weight yarn follow exactly. Above this weight just go up on the needle size. It requires 800m of yarn.
At The Lace Knittery we have been naturally dyeing yarn and fibre for over fifteen years. We use materials from the garden, kitchen, foraged from the countryside around us and from sustainable sources. The process leaves nothing but clear water at the end and produces a range of colours. Custom dye works are available. Please contact us for details.

I love little projects, they are so much fun. I designed this The Lace Knittery pattern to echo the cables motif from The Penryn Poncho pattern. This was inspired by the celtic crosses in the magical county of Cornwall. It can be knitted in any weight yarn from sock to aran.
Yarn in the photo is a hand painted DK weight yarn from The Lace Knittery. One skein at least 100m only required.
At The Lace Knittery we love wraps, they are versatile, light, portable and useful. Knitting them is fun as there is no gauge and as with all The Lace Knittery wrap and scarf patterns we design them to be interchangeable on yarns used.
This wrap was inspired by one of my favourite times of year… September, back to school, new exercise books, falling leaves and crisp mornings and patchwork quilts. It has a school house motif in the centre with a trellis border at either side.
It requires 800m of lace weight yarn and 4mm needles. It can be knitted in different weight yarns and up to DK weight use the same size needles.
The Lace Knittery Scrumper Scarf is inspired by my favourite blackberrying spot. This little scarf is triangular in shape and is perfect for keeping you warm when rambling. It is knitted side to side and has a cable pattern along each edge. It is a perfect first project for someone looking to try cables but is nice for a quick make for a more experienced knitter.
It is knitted in Rowan Felted Tweed and requires one ball.
I designed The Lace Knittery Tassel Hat pattern many years ago and it has grown with my family. It is sized from child to adult. It is knitted in the round and you can finish with two, three or four tassels or pompoms. It makes your head bounce and puts a smile on your face when you wear it. It can be knitted in any weight yarn. The pattern is for DK to aran weight and uses 200m.
The yarn in the photo is a lace weight baby alpaca and is available from The Lace Knittery.
At The Lace Knittery we like fun designs that do the work for you. The Lace Knittery Twirly Scarf pattern uses a short row technique and the pattern does all the work. The only finishing the design requires is weaving in of ends.
It is designed for any weight yarn. It can be knitted in any length and the pattern has three possible patterns.
The Lace Knittery Twirly Shawl pattern is great for any weight yarn and is a great beginner pattern but fun for experienced knitters also. It uses a short row technique and simple stitches. I have signed the pattern to do all the work for you. It is triangular and takes 800m of lace weight yarn. It is interchangeable on yarn weight up to DK.
The Lace Knittery Twist It Cowl is one of my newer design. I got twisty on the brain but wanted to design something, as ever, that is adaptable and interchangeable on yarn weights. It is knitted in the round and can be made as deep or shallow as you need. It can be knitted in DK to aran weight yarn and requires 120m.
I took my fascination with twisty patterns everywhere including The Lace Knittery Twist It Socks. This pattern is multi size from women’s small to men’s large. It is worked in the round from the top with grafted toes at the bottom. The twist pattern can be all one way, facing each other or away. The possibility of using different colours is endless.
