Orry Yarn Patterns and Kits

Orry Yarn Patterns & Kits — Scottish/Danish Knitting Designs, Coming Soon

Fifteen exclusive knitting patterns. Each one designed by Tilde and rooted in the landscapes, textures, and heritage of Scotland, from the cabled warmth of the Darvel Beanie to the houndstooth detail of the Eglinton collection.

Every pattern has been created to work beautifully with Orry Yarn Merino DK, our 100% British merino spun in Yorkshire and dyed in a palette of 16 contemporary west-coast shades.

We're putting the finishing touches to our full pattern and kit range. Soon, every design will be available as a complete kit: Orry Yarn, pattern, and step-by-step Yarn School video support so you have everything you need to make something lovely

Every pattern has a place

The range reads as a small map of home: our own doorstep in Eaglesham, out through the Montgomerie lands to Eglinton, then south into Carrick and the Kennedy country of Maybole and Cassillis, with Robert Burns at Alloway and Lochlea, and the weaving valley of Darvel threaded through. Explore the map to find the story and the pattern behind each place.

Orry Yarn – Merino DK

Orry Yarn Merino DK is our first ever yarn - a 100% merino wool base designed with purpose, precision, and a deep sense of place. After seven years of building The Orry Mill community in Glasgow, teaching hundreds of knitters, designing patterns, and shaping a modern approach to Scottish craft, we're proud to introduce a yarn that carries everything we believe in.

Rooted in Scotland's landscapes, light, and weather, our debut palette features 16 contemporary tones shaped by the west‑coast sky: granite washed by rain, deep fern greens, soft heathers, and muted coastal golds. Not nostalgic. Not twee. Just the real colours of here - translated into a modern, confident Scottish voice.

Merino DK has a smooth texture and crisp stitch definition that supports clean, wearable design. It is especially well‑suited to textured knitting — stitches like cables, ribs, moss stitch and simple textures stand out with clarity and structure, making patterns feel modern and intentional. Whether you're a beginner choosing your first project, an improver building skills, or a designer looking for clarity and precision, this yarn is made to elevate your making. It's warm, soft without being precious, and bold enough to hold its own in colourwork, texture, and everyday garments.

Orry Yarn is modern craft with Scottish soul - contemporary, confident, and made with heart.
