pdf copy of Patterns for North Ronaldsay (and other 4 ply/fingering and aran) Yarn by Elizabeth Lovick
copyright Elizabeth Lovick 2017

First produced 20 years ago for the Orkney market, this book of patterns has been expanded with more patterns and more sizes for each pattern. It also includes three patterns by Elly Doyle, who lives in Orkney and dyes the North Ronaldsay yarn.

Liz has included some of the original photos, either for amusement value or because the original item has been given away. New photographs have been taken on various islands including North Ronaldsay itself, South Ronaldsay, Flotta and in Kirkwall, Orkney's only town.

As the North Ronaldsay is such a rare breed, the amount of yarn produced each year is small. These patterns can be used for many other 4 ply/fingering and aran yarns. Most of the patterns can also be varied and so there is also a section giving suggestions of what might be possible.
