This week saw the relaunch of our Heritage Collection, Number 1, 2,3 and 4. These undyed marvels are now spun entirely in our mill in West Wales for the first time, and celebrate the stunning simplicity of traditional British Wool. We've put together some pattern suggestions here, and we'd love to hear yours too!

Baltika, by Inese Sang

Uses 2 skeins of Main Colour, 2 skeins of Contrast Colour.

Baltika is a shawl that expresses the serene beauty and deep darkness of the Baltic Sea.
It is a beautiful shawl made of two simple and delicate lace parts with color scheme details. Cast-on with Garter Tab Cast On, and knit top down while increasing stitches. Finish with Picot Bind Off.

Amory, by Isabell Kraemer

Uses 4-5 skeins.

Amory is worked seamlessly in rounds from the top down, using the contiguous set-in sleeves method to shape shoulders and sleeve caps. First the neck is shaped by working short-rows back and forth, then the yoke shaping continues with shoulder increases to final cross back width, followed by contiguous set-in sleeves. After completing the yoke shaping the sleeve stitches are placed on hold to work the body first top down to the lace patterned bottom. Sleeve stitches are then picked up again to work the sleeves top down in rounds to the cuffs. Neck is left raw without any further finishing.

Note that the Ravelry project page suggests 2-3 skeins, this is from when we used to offer 100g skeins of Number 1.

Poet, by Sari Nordlund

Uses 5-13 skeins.

The Poet pullover is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The neck shaping is worked flat after which the rest of the pullover is worked in the round. The lace pattern is knitted on both front and back. The raglan sleeves are of ¾ length with long cuffs that can be folded double. The sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch. The neckband is worked last by picking up stitches along the cast-on edge. Due to the raglan increases worked in the lace pattern this pattern is better suited for intermediate and advanced knitters.

Kyler, by Isabell Kraemer

Uses 7 skeins.

Kyler is worked from the narrow point of the left edge. Stitches are increased every right side row in the lace pattern and then onward into the Stockinette stitch section. At the end of the shawl there is a rib border which is punctuated by some last rows of the lace pattern. The combination of lace, stockinette and ribbing give this shawl a sophisticated yet casual look.

Memory Code, by Melanie Berg

Uses 6 skeins of Main Colour, 2 skeins of Contrast Colour.

Unlock the beauty of texture with Memory Code, a stunning piece that plays with a refined knit-purl pattern, evoking the impression of a mysterious code. Its surface catches the light, revealing different facets depending on how it’s worn.

The modern, geometric design is as striking as it is versatile, creating a cool, rhythmic texture that keeps you engaged from cast-on to bind-off.

The OA, by Kate Davies

Yarn A: 7 - 14 skeins
Yarn B: Crowdie; 6 - 12 skeins
Yarn C: Daunder; 1 - 2 skeins

Named for the Islay peninsula with its spectacular cliffs and dramatic geology, this cosy allover colourwork hoody makes a great coastal cover-up for wearers of any gender.

Seve, by Isabell Kraemer

Uses 6-17 skeins.

Seve is worked seamlessly from the top down. Both the front and the back are worked in Stockinette stitch with a slip stitch pattern in the center. There is no difference in shaping with this sweater which means that you can wear the wide pattern panel either way. Knitting starts with the cast on of the upper back (shoulders and neck). Once the short row shaped shoulder slope is done, the back is worked flat to underarm. To work the front to the same length, the shoulder stitches are picked up from the cast on edge of the back and the front neck is cast on. At underarm both front and back are joined to work the body top down in rounds to the bottom hem (optional split hem instructions are given). For the long sleeve version, stitches are then picked up around the arm openings to work them top down in rounds. No finishing required.

Naima, by Ankestrick

Uses 7-14 skeins.

NAiMA Pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down. After the collar is done, the neck is shaped with short rows. Then you work the yoke with raglan and radial increases down to sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm sts are cast on, and you continue to work the body to the ribbing. After the body is completed, the sleeve sts are picked up again to work the sleeves top down in the round to the end.

The pattern comes with 3 body options: Straight, A-line and balloon shape. Sample shows the straight version
