4 Ply Wool

4 Ply Yarn is very popular among both knitters and crocheters as an all-round versatile weight with many uses. Available in a huge range of fibre blends 4 Ply wools are used to create just about anything you can imagine! Thanks to the ever-growing demand for 4 Ply yarns there are many exciting modern ranges of self-patterning, hand-dyed effect and speckled colourways, as well as classic solid, semi-solid or tonal shades.

For many of you socks & shawls will be the first items to spring to mind when thinking of 4 Ply (check out our patterns by clicking the links)! Also a firm favourite for creating Fair Isle and Intarsia, 4 Ply wool is a finer and often softer alternative to DK yarns that works up into small, neat stiches providing the level of intricacy needed to achieve impressive colour patterns. 4 Ply yarns are a great hit with those wishing to emulate a Vintage style as many original patterns from the 1940’s & 50’s use this weight of wool.

Standard 4 Ply knitting wools and yarns are usually knitted on a 3.25mm needle but always check the pattern or yarn instructions as this will vary dependent on stitch pattern used, style of garment and also the density of fabric required.
