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.

At The Lace Knittery I am slightly addicted to scarves. They are pretty and practical and are small enough projects to take with you. This The Lace Knittery Pattern is our best selling mermaid wrap in a scarf form. It is knitted straight and then joined into a mobius shape at the end…or not!
It is knitted in 400m of lace weight yarn but the pattern will work up to a DK weight. The yarn in the photo is kid mohair and silk hand painted by The Lace Knittery
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 know we are called The Lace Knittery but we do like crochet too! This pattern I designed to be used in any weight yarn. It twirls by itself and all the finishing that is required is a weaving in of ends.
It can be any length and is a good stash buster. The yarn in the photo is a DK weight natural baby alpaca, silk and cashmere yarn 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 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.
The West Coast is The Lace Knittery’s Scottish home and this book is a delightful mix of patterns and information about The West Highland Way. There is a variety of garment and accessory patterns. It is a treasure trove.
At The Lace Knittery I get asked a lot of questions (please carry on!) and one of the most popular is ‘I am a new knitter and want to try a project which one would you recommend”. I came up with this pattern as the answer. It is a pattern that suits a beginner but is also a quick make for the more experienced. It has several lengths and ways of finishing. Is knitted straight and joined at the end…or not. Has one pattern row and can be knitted in ANY weight yarn. Raid your stash, buy new, swap or something you were gifted. You can knit this pattern. The instructions are for lace weight yarn and follow them for up to DK weight yarn. Above DK weight go up on the recommended needle size.
