What to do with Canary Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn

Canary Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn
Today I would like to share with you some ideas I had about using Canary Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn. Canary yellow is a beautiful, refreshing, bright colour. Here are some suggestions you might find interesting to try out.

Ruffled Cardigan - This incredible piece is knitted in the colours Aquamarine for the main body and Amethyst for the ruffle. How about a combination of Old Lace with Canary as an accent colour?

Lily Jacket in Wine, Oyster and Carnation.

My next suggestion would be the Lily Jacket. Here you will need 3 colours of Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn, the pattern suggestion is: Wine, Carnation and Oyster. How about Old Lace, Oyster and Canary?

If you like wearing yellow, you can make this beautiful summer sun top designed by Susan Crawford. Tropicana was originally designed using knitshop's Mulberry Silk Twist Yarn, however Coquette is a great alternative to making this stunning summer piece.

For the Crocheter amongst our readers we have another great pattern available: the Cassie Camisol Cotton Top. A summery and delightful Camisol to wear on the warmer days of the year.

And last but not least, you can make a Daffodil using the Canary colour. It is a 4ply yarn and therefore suitable for most knitting and crochet patterns available. We have the Daffodil Crochet Pattern available for you as an instant download.

Country Wool Yarn - new in stock

Today we would like to introduce to you a brand new yarn added to the knitshop.co.uk yarn collection: Country Wool Yarn. 

Country Wool Yarn is a 100% pure wool yarn and is unevenly spun, so it has a unique country style to it, due to it's coarse look. It gives an interesting texture once knitted up, feels soft and will definitely keep you warm.

Colours from left top: Primary Colours, Hot Pink, Bondi Blue, Corsa Rosso Red, Crosswalks,
Mustard, Zaffre Blue, Orange Peel, Rainbow, Harlequin, Forest Green & Spring Meadow

Country Wool Yarn is ideal for accessories and garments, such as wrist warmers, hats, gloves, cardigans and jumpers. However, the idea of what you make should be yours. Below, you will find a few yarn recommendations from our pattern catalogue.
