Yarn of the Month: March 2022 West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4 Ply

Spring is here…!

…so why not put a spring in your step with Signature 4 Ply, the ultimate sock yarn from WYS. Composed of 75% wool – 25% nylon (the wool content contains 35% luxurious Bluefaced Leicester), this is one of the most sumptuous 4 Ply yarns on the market and one of our best selling.

After the storms of February, it’s nice to see the shoots of spring peeking through and with them the promise of warmer, brighter days ahead.  

And with Mother’s Day just around the corner, it won’t be long before daffodils adorn our gardens, roadside verges and windowsills.

But what does all this have to do with yarn? I hear you say.  Well you only have to take a look at the ‘Spring Green’ colourway in the Winwick Mum Seasonal Range to know why.  This shade captures the moment perfectly with its delicately balanced colour transitions – and it is just the start of things to come.  Spring Green rolls into Summer Sunset and, as the light begins to fade once more, Autumn Leaves start to fall. We finish the year with Winter Icicles and the crisp colours of Winter.

The Signature 4 Ply ‘Sweet Shop’ solid shades are mouthwateringly tempting (and deliciously calorie free!) and are the ideal contrast colours for your heels and toes.

The latest addition to the Signature 4 Ply range is the Zandra Rhodes collection.  Launched last year, it contains 6 shades and is unmistakably Dame Zandra Rhodes in colour and appearance. Zandra’s Rainbow has been a popular colour choice with our customers.

I hope this has inspired you to take a fresh look at the colours and textures that surround you at this time of year or to introduce more colour to your next knitting project.  

Or maybe you would like to try sock knitting for the first time or need some inspiration with a new sock pattern? We stock both Winwick Mum books and a selection of KnitPro fixed circular needles and DPNs. There is also a free basic 4 ply sock pattern for you to download from Winwick Mum’s website.

You’ll find everything you need at Stitch Station to spring into action on your next Signature 4 Ply project and with 10% off during March it’s the ideal time to try this yarn for yourself.

Happy knitting and hooking!
