Baa Ram Ewe Pip Colourwork 4-Ply

We’re delighted to be stocking 18 gorgeous shades of Pip Colourwork from Baa Ram Ewe. These small 4-ply balls are perfect for colourwork garments or for smaller projects like hats and gloves. This yarn is fibre-dyed, which means colours can be blended to create a lovely melange look.

Pip is made with 100% British wool, and each wool fleece is carefully graded by hand and comes from sheep that are cared for by British farmers that adhere to strict ethical standards. 100% of the wool comes from non-mulesed sheep.

The Holdfast Hat by Louisa Gauge

Harriet made the Holdfast Hat from Issue 11 of Making Stories in three colours of Baa Ram Ewe Pip colourwork: Viking, Hessle and Aire. The design was inspired by the ripple of water running over stationary vegetation, and the clever colourwork combined with the nautical colour way make for the perfect coastal colourwork beanie. It’s also a relatively simple pattern to knit, having just two colours per row, but creates a really effective and complex looking wave effect. Our sample used just one ball of each colour.
